Jurkovec became the first BC quarterback since Matt Ryan in 2007 to throw for 300 yards, multiple touchdowns and complete 70% of his throws in the same game in leading BC to a 26-6 victory at Duke.
Jurkovec made his first start at quarterback since Dec. 9, 2017 at HersheyPark Stadium in the Pennsylvania Class 6A state title game. Jurkovec led Pine-Richland to a 41-21 victory over St. Joseph's Prep.
The Notre Dame transfer finished 17-for-23 for 300 yards and two touchdowns. The 300 passing yards were the most by a BC player since Anthony Brown's 304 at Wake Forest (9/13/18).
In the second half against the Blue Devils, Jurkovec was nearly perfect. He completed 11-of-12 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns, including 10 straight completions.
