It has now been 0 days since Boston College Football last won an ACC matchup.
A collective sigh of relief was uttered after BC was able to pull away from Saturday afternoon’s matchup with North Carolina St. with its first ACC win since the 2014 season. After a week mired with controversy, it was a breath of positivity the fanbase was hungry for.
Yet the Heights, for the first time in what felt like forever, had positivity brimming at the seams Saturday. Of the four competitions Boston College teams competed in Saturday, BC emerged victorious in all four. All four victories were against conference opponents, adding an additional importance to the day’s victories.
Typically the Tweetcap focuses on BC football. But, with all of the great victories achieved by the Eagles Saturday, we’re going to take you through the day that was Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016 through the eyes of Twitter.
Get up SuperFans! It's GAME DAY! #BCvsNCSU

At the end of the first quarter, it's scoreless in Raleigh. When the second quarter begins, BC will have 3rd and 4 at the Pack 7 yard line.

What is this "balanced" offense witchcraft?

Long way to go but this is the best BC has looked on offense in a real game since Dublin.

Bra'Lon Cherry is FAST. Finley connects with his receiver on 3rd down deep in his own territory-and Cherry takes off downfield for the score

Why did Daz call timeout without letting the clock run down?
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 29, 2016
And then Mike Knoll has his FG blocked. Now because BC called timeout with a full running clock, NC State has a short field
