SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Freshman tailback Andre Williams rushed for 185 yards on a school-record 42 carries and scored one touchdown in place of injured star Montel Harris, Nate Freese kicked three field goals, and Boston College beat Syracuse 16-7 on Saturday.
It was the fifth straight win for the Eagles (7-5).
Syracuse (7-5) has had a turnaround season, winning five on the road, but finished the regular season without beating a Football Bowl Subdivision team at home.
After Williams gave BC a 13-7 lead with a 1-yard run late in the third quarter, the Eagles forced Syracuse to punt and then continued giving the ball to Williams. He had 12 carries for 61 yards to set up Freese's 22-yard field goal with 6:44 left.
Harris, the nation's 11th-leading rusher at 113 yards a game, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Monday. He set BC's previous record for carries with 41 last year against Maryland.
