Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes, two to Rich Gunnell, and Boston College extended the nation’s longest bowl winning streak to eight with a 24-21 victory over Michigan State.
Ryan overcame an interception and a costly fumble to finish 22-of-47 for 249 yards. Gunnell had six catches for 138 yards, including TD receptions of 29 and 68 yards. Both catches came against Michigan State freshman Chris Rucker, who was playing for the first time since having three medical procedures in the last two months to correct a detached retina.
The Eagles sealed the win with their fourth interception of the game. Paul Anderson picked off Brian Hoyer’s pass and returned it to the Michigan State 29 with 2:29 remaining.
BC All-America safety Jamie Silva had two interceptions and was the game’s most valuable player.
