It's game day, Eagles! One more game in 2014.

Boston College faces the Penn State Nittany Lions (6-6, 2-6 Big Ten) in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday, December 27 at 4:30 p.m. at Yankee Stadium in New York City. This will be the Eagles' (7-5, 4-4 ACC) first appearance in the Pinstripe Bowl. The game will be televised by ESPN and ESPN Radio.

Penn State comes into the matchup with a record of 6-6 (2-6 Big Ten) and has lost six of its last eight games after starting the year 4-0. The Nittany Lions will be making their first bowl game appearance since 2011. First year coach James Franklin is 6-6 with the Nittany Lions after spending the last three seasons with Vanderbilt (24-15 overall, 11-13 SEC).

The Eagles (7-5, 4-4 ACC) are bowl-bound for the second straight year under Steve Addazio. Last year, BC fell to Arizona in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, nee Independence Bowl, in Shreveport. Addazio is 14-11 overall and 8-8 in the ACC in two years on the Heights.

This will be the 24th meeting between the two long-time Eastern independents. Penn State owns a 19-4 edge in the all-time series, but has dropped each of the last three to the Eagles. Boston College is 13-10 (.565) in postseason games, the fourth best mark among ACC teams.
