BOSTON (AP) - Montel Harris carried 24 times for 114 yards, including a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, to lift surging Boston College to bowl eligibility with a 17-13 victory over slumping Virginia on Saturday.
The win was the fourth straight for the Eagles (6-5, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) and makes them bowl eligible for the 12th straight season. Virginia (4-7, 1-6) has lost 6 of 8 and dropped 12 consecutive games after November 1, dating to its last win--a 48-0 victory over Miami on Nov. 10, 2007.
It was the eighth 100-plus yard game of the season for Harris, who moved into second place ahead of Mike Cloud on the school's all-time list with 3,600 yards before leaving with a left knee injury. Derrick Knight ('03) is leader with 3,725.
Eagles quarterback Chase Rettig threw a 39-yard scoring strike to Alex Amidon and Nate Freese booted a 23-yard field goal.
