Last Time they Met: Penn State last faced off with the Eagles on Sept. 11, 2004, at Alumni Stadium. Boston College won the home game 21-7, taking advantage of five Nittany Lions five turnovers to control the scoreboard. The Eagles led 14-0 in the third quarter when Zach Mills hit Ryan Scott for a seven-yard touchdown, but seven points was as close as Penn State would get. Mills threw picks on three of the four ensuing possessions to seal Penn State’s fate.
