Boston College nearly shocked the college football world on Saturday.
BC, which lost its opener to Northern Illinois and then nearly fell to Holy Cross last week, was on the verge of a massive upset at home versus No. 3 Florida State. However, the Seminoles were able to eke out a 31-29 win in Chestnut Hill.
Florida State just had no answers for Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos. Castellanos, a transfer from UCF, opened the season as BC’s backup, but managed to make play after play against one of the best teams in the country. A dynamic athlete, Castellanos threw for 305 yards and a touchdown while also racking up 96 yards and a score on the ground.
Castellanos helped BC jump out to an early 10-3 lead and oversaw what was nearly a monumental comeback. FSU had a 31-10 lead early in the third quarter before the Eagles scratched and clawed their way to within a mere two points. Castellanos led a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive that cut FSU’s lead to 31-16 late in the third quarter. And on the ensuing drive, BC stripped Florida State running back Lawrence Toafili and BC’s Victor Nelson scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown.
After that score, BC curiously went for two and failed. But FSU’s comfortable lead was down to just 31-22 with 11:18 to play.The Seminoles went three-and-out on the next offensive possession before Castellanos returned to the field. Castellanos led the Eagles deep into FSU territory and then scored on an electric seven-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-2 play with 5:19 left in regulation.
