CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Freshman Josh Haden rushed for 52 yards on just eight carries in Boston College's third scrimmage of the preseason on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Stadium. The offensive line improved from the last outing as the Eagles' defense did not record a sack on the day.
"I was looking for improvement from the first (scrimmage) to the second to the third," head coach Jeff Jagodzinski said. "Overall, I was pleased that we made it through without any major injuries. Now it's time to start preparing for Kent State."
Haden's longest scamper of the day was 22 yards. Senior Chris Crane went 10-for-20 for 66 yards and a touchdown while classmate Brandon Robinson led all receivers with 30 yards on a pair of catches.
Freshmen Chris Pantale and Clyde Lee caught two passes apiece for 23 and 19 yards, respectively.
Senior Steve Aponavicius hit both of his field goal attempts with makes from 38 and 26 yards.
Junior Marty Bowman led the defense with six tackles while senior Garrett Seeger and redshirt freshman Will Thompson both had five. Sophomore Wes Davis recorded an interception to go along with three tackles.
