Yesterday, Boston College football head coach Bill O'Brien celebrated his 55th birthday in his inaugural year at the helm of the BC program.

Happy Birthday to Boston College’s Bill O’Brien, who turns 55 today. O’Brien is ACC’s 5th oldest head coach & 39th oldest overall in FBS

O'Brien and the Eagles are 4-3 headed into Friday night's homecoming matchup with Louisville. The Cardinals had a cup of coffee inside the AP Top 25 earlier this season before dropping out following a trio of losses to Notre Dame, SMU and the latest to Miami.

Boston College enters the contest as a one touchdown underdog at home, which seems to be the general cosensus amongst college sports media as well. The Eagles will have a tough task ahead of them to remain bowl eligible and finish the 2024 College Football season how it began for BC.

Kickoff for Friday night is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Today’s Schedule:

• Men's Tennis @ UNC Wilmington Invitational

• Swimming @ Army

• Women's Soccer @ Louisville
