Posted

Jon Hilliman had two short touchdown runs and caught a pass for another, Michael Walker broke three punt returns that set up scores and Boston College beat Central Michigan 28-8 on Saturday.

A.J. Dillon added a 15-yard TD run for the Eagles (2-3). Anthony Brown completed 14 of 21 passes for just 85 yards, but had a touchdown.

The win snaps a three-game losing streak for Boston College and was Central Michigan's third straight loss.

After struggling on its first two possessions, BC got a spark when Walker returned a punt 61 yards to Central Michigan's 6. On the next play, Hilliman busted through the middle for a score that made it 7-2.

Midway into the opening quarter, Walker went 34 yards on a return, giving the Eagles the ball near midfield. BC then marched 53 yards in eight plays, with Dillon going up the middle for the final 15.
