Boston College faced third and 10 from its 15-yard line late in Saturday's game. Cornerback Jeremiah Johnson blanketed receiver Alex Amidon on first down. Defensive lineman A.J. Francis tipped a swing pass at the line of scrimmage, nearly coming up with an interception on second down. The Eagles were 1 for 11 on third downs up until that point. This was Maryland's time.
