Jurkovec, White Earn Second EOW Honors
October 05, 2020 | Boston College Athletics
BC football quarterback Phil Jurkovec and women's cross-country's Lauren White claimed their second honor in just three weeks.
Jurkovec was 37-for-56 for 313 yards and two touchdowns. The 37 completions were tied for second in BC single-game history with Frank Harris (37 versus Army in 1968). Matt Ryan's 40 completions are the most in BC history against Wake Forest on Nov. 4, 2006. Jurkovec's 37 completions are an Alumni Stadium record. The previous best belonged to Matt Ryan with 37 completions versus Army on Sept. 22, 2007. His 56 pass attempts were also the most by a BC quarterback at Alumni Stadium since at least 1996 and was the highest overall total number of attempts since Ryan passed 56 times on Nov. 10, 2007 at Maryland. Jurkovec is tied for fourth in BC single-game history with the 56 attempts. Matt Ryan, Shawn Halloran and Frank Harris own the school record with 57 attempts. Jurkovec became the first BC quarterback with multiple 300-yard passing games in a season since Chase Rettig's three in 2012.
White placed third overall at the Florida State Invitational, clocking 16:58.6 for the 5K course. She was the top ACC finisher in the field, with four other ACC teams (FSU, GT, CU, UM) competing. It marked her second top-three finish in as many races, also having placed second at the Battle in Beantown on Sept. 25. White was in sixth place at the two-mile mark (11:00.8), before closing strong, moving into third over the final mile-plus of the race.
