If this was Steve Addazio's last stand at Boston College, he went out with a bang. AJ Dillon ran for 178 yards and a touchdown, Aaron Boumerhi booted four field goals and the Atlantic Coast Conference's worst defense forced four turnovers as the Eagles beat sloppy Pittsburgh 26-19 on Saturday to become bowl eligible and perhaps give their embattled coach a lifeline. Boston College (6-6, 4-4 ACC) reached bowl eligibility for the sixth time in seven seasons under Addazio by beating the Panthers in Pittsburgh for the first time in 21 years. Dillon's ever-churning legs played a major role as the Eagles rolled up 264 yards on the ground against a team that entered ranked sixth in the country in run defense, allowing just 92.6 yards per game.

Dillon surpassed that total on his own, including a 61-yard dash to the end zone in the third quarter that put Boston College ahead to stay shortly after Pitt went in front on a 39-yard sprint by Vincent Davis. Dennis Grosel passed for 123 yards and a touchdown and added 51 yards rushing for the Eagles. Kenny Pickett threw for 323 yards for the Panthers (7-5, 4-4) but Pitt drives regularly bogged down in Boston College territory. A week after getting shut out on the road at Virginia Tech, the Panthers managed just a single touchdown against a team that ranked next to last in the ACC in points allowed and last in yards allowed. - Boston College/AP College Football

AJ Dillon has been Boston College's workhorse for three years. He outdid himself against Florida State. The junior running back carried a career-high 40 times Saturday, the most by a Bowl Subdivision player since Boise State's Alexander Mattison ran the same number of times against Fresno State last December. Dillon finished with 165 yards in the loss to increase his career total to 4,148. He's the eighth player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to reach 4,000 yards. Dillon's 27.2 carries per game leads the nation and is the highest since Texas' D'Onta Foreman averaged 29.4 in 2016. His career average of 24.2 attempts per game is the highest among active FBS players. - AP College Football

But then the injury bug hit, Danny Dalton, Idrizi were both listed on the injury report this week, while Garrison is out for the year with an unspecified injury. Those three injuries left BC with a thin group of TE's to begin with, so Addazio addressed this by moving Joey Luchetti from defensive end where he had played all year back to his native tight end position. - SI.com

NOV 4 MAC EAST DIVISION DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Buffalo DT Chibueze Onwuka,...Buffalo junior defensive tackle Chibueze Onwuka (Bowie, Md.) had five tackles, one sack and a safety in a 43-14 win at Eastern Michigan on Saturday. Onwuka anchored a defensive line that allowed 25 rushing yards and not a single rushing first down on the day. With the Bulls trailing, 7-0, Onwuka sacked Eastern Michigan quarterback Mike Glass in the end zone for a safety. It was Buffalo's first safety since the 2015 season and sparked 43 straight points for the Bulls. - MAC Football

Boston College coach Steve Addazio likes to play old-school football, and his Eagles gave Syracuse a big taste of it. AJ Dillon and David Bailey combined for 414 yards rushing and five touchdowns, Dennis Grosel passed for 195 yards and three more scores, and Boston College blew past Syracuse 58-27 on Saturday , the Orange's fourth straight loss. BC (5-4, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) set a school record with 691 yards offensively, averaging 9.2 yards per play, and the Eagles' 496 yards rushing were the most ever allowed by the Orange and just 22 yards off BC's school record set 46 years ago against UMass.

"When you can do what we do like we did it, that's overwhelming for a defense," Addazio said. "First of all, we move at a pretty good clip, and what happens on the other side, your DBs, your safeties, they're taking a beating, they're tackling 250-pound backs, and if you can stay on the field, you start to wear them down. They start creeping in the box, they start abandoning their coverage and then you're hitting them on play-actions." Dillon, who scored three touchdowns, rushed for 242 yards on 35 carries to boost his season total to 1,286. He entered the game ranked fourth nationally in rushing yards and rushing yards per game (130.5) for a unit that was averaging 255.6. Bailey added a career-high 172 yards rushing on 16 carries as the bruising backs -- Dillon weighs 250 and Bailey 240 -- had their way. - Boston College/AP College Football

Dillon ran 34 times for 223 yards against North Carolina State and Knox carried 23 times for a career-high 220 yards against Florida Atlantic. Dillon went over 100 yards for the fifth straight game and now has three 200-yard games in his career. He moved from fourth to second on the national rushing chart behind Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard. Dillon averages 137.7 yards per game; Hubbard averages 182.3. Knox ran for 205 yards against Virginia Tech last season and has had three 100-yard games this year. - AP College Football

Boston College easily showed why it's the best rushing team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. AJ Dillon ran for 223 yards and three touchdowns, David Bailey had two long TD runs with 181 yards and the Eagles pounded the league's top rushing defense in a 45-24 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday. Dillon had scores of 2, 3 and 8 yards in his fifth straight 100-yard game as BC (4-3, 2-2 ACC) ran for 429 yards on 60 attempts. The 6-foot, 245-pound Dillon is 75 yards away from passing Andre Williams' (2010-13) mark of 3,739 yards for most in school history.

"I just kept hearing about the No. 1 rush defense in the ACC," Dillon said. "When you're a competitor you want to go up against the best. They're the best rush defense, so we wanted to go with our best. I had a feeling today was going to be a great day, just the look in everybody's eyes, but I wasn't expecting what we did today." Dennis Grosel completed 6 of 15 passes for 103 yards in his first collegiate start for BC after Anthony Brown was lost for the season with a leg injury two weeks ago. "It's the greatest and worst practices in America," BC linebacker Max Richardson said of facing Dillon and Bailey, who's listed at 6-1, 240. "AJ and David are big guys, strong guys, they run hard." Backup QB Devin Leary was 15 of 33 for 259 yards and three TDs for the Wolfpack (4-3, 1-2). - Boston College/AP College Football

OCT 7 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: ERIC SILVESTER, WAGNER, P/PK, Jr., 5-11, 185 lbs., Lincolndale, NY/Somers,...WEEK 6 Stats: 2 points, 2-for-2 PAT, 10 punts, 36.7 punting avg., 5 Inside 20, 0 Touchbacks,...Silvester stifled Monmouth's return game under the lights on Grymes Hill. The do-it-all kicker, who scored two points on a pair of PATs, punted 10 times with five of the kicks giving Monmouth a drive start no better than the 10-yard line. Only one of the 10 punts was returnable, resulting in a one-yard loss coupled with a holding penalty that backed Monmouth up to its own 4-yard line.

Averaging 36.7 yards per punt on a brisk evening at usually-windy Hameline Field, Silvester successfully placed five punts inside the opponents' 20 with no touchbacks. He flipped the field with a 55-yard boot that was downed at Monmouth's 7-yard line with 00:09 remaining in the third quarter. Silvester also handled kickoff duties for the Seahawks, with Monmouth managing a total of 13 return yards on three kicks. On 13 kicks (10 punts, 3 KO), Monmouth totaled only 12 return yards. - NEC Football

The third-year Seahawk averaged 42.9 yards per boot with two of his seven punts pinning FAU inside of its own 20-yard line. Silvester flipped the field following Wagner's first possession, booming a 59-yarder that travelled to Florida Atlantic's 26-yard line. His next punt went 44 yards and was downed at the Owls' 20. Silvester tagged a 47-yard kick that Wagner downed at the 18-yard line in the second quarter. His first punt of the second half was fair caught at FAU's 10-yard line. Florida Atlantic managed only five total yards on three punt returns. - Northeast Conference Football
