After a 7-5 2024 campaign which included a 4-4 ACC record, the Boston College Eagles football team will compete in the 2024 Pinstripe Bowl against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-6, 3-6 B1G) on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., to finish the season.
On Tuesday, the two head coaches Bill O’Brien and Matt Rhule spoke in the bowl’s press conference alongside both schools’ athletic directors about the matchup and what they are looking forward to.
Rhule, who is finishing his second season with the Cornhuskers, spoke highly of O’Brien and the Boston College program in the press conference.
“I think you’re going to see two teams, cause I have great respect for Coach [O’Brien] and I’ve watched his team, two teams that love to play the game, said Rhule. “They’re physical, they’re gonna compete. This is going to be one of those games where both sides show up and I think isn’t that what we all want when we watch a ball game. We want to see people who want to play the game and play it the right way.
The thing my wife said and I say this when it was Coach O’Brien and Boston College like what a classy team, what a classy coach,” said Rhule. “Our families’ connections to Boston College, being the head coach at Temple, coaching at the Giants which a lot of the Mara family are Boston College people. Ed Foley’s on our staff, whose brother Glenn was the quarterback at Boston College whose dad was there… So the ties to Boston College for us are great and so to me these are two iconic brands. In today’s college football, two classy organizations. I think people will see a great, great football game.”
