CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Another week, another excruciating defeat for the Virginia football team.

Coming off a three-point loss to NC State, Virginia took a two-touchdown lead into halftime Saturday against ACC foe Boston College at Alumni Stadium.

It didn’t last. The Eagles rallied for 17 straight third-quarter points before the Cavaliers tied the game on Will Bettridge’s 44-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter.

BC answered with a drive that ended with a 42-yard field that made it 27-24, and that’s how the game ended. The Wahoos started their final possession at their 28-yard line, but four plays netted only seven yards, and they turned the ball over on downs with 1:24 to play. The Eagles (2-3 overall, 1-2 ACC) ran out the clock, and the Hoos (0-5, 0-2), off to their worst start since 1982, limped off the field.
