264 ... In a game that was a contrast in offensive styles, as expected, this was BC's rushing total.

34:52 ... Time of possession for BC.
32 ... Carries for BC's AJ Dillon, who was again a workhorse and finished with 178 yards.
13 ... Tackles by Isaiah McDuffie, a season-high for the Eagle who had missed so much time this season.
8/8 ... Combined field goal makes and attempts for the two kickers in the game.
5 ... Fumbles by Pitt, by five different players. Three were recovered by Boston College.
4 ... BC's turnover margin. Also the number of sacks by Boston College, two coming from McDuffie.
