Lynch-Adams brought it out from a yard deep and was drilled, resulting in a fumble Boston College recovered at the 5. The Spartans held the Eagles to a field goal but it was still a free three points before Chiles threw a pick on the next snap.

Head coach Jonathan Smith picked up his first loss in the green and white. It was going to happen sometime (it will likely happen again against No. 3 Ohio State next weekend). What stings is that this game was winnable.
