The Boston College football program will honor one of its all-time greats this weekend as former Eagle linebacker Luke Kuechly will be recognized for his admitance into the College Football Hall of Fame.

During his time as an Eagle, Kuechly finished his three seasons with the program with over 500 combined tackles, seven interceptions and 2.5 sacks. Kuechly earned the Bronko Nagurski award in 2011, which is awarded to the best defensive player in all of college football, for his play.

The best to ever do it. Period.

Bill O'Brien and his staff have made a living running the football this season in the coach's initial season at the helm, but some fans might be surprised by just how much they've been trusting the rushing attack in 2024.

Not a major surprise, but still noteworthy: Boston College has the most rushing attempts in the ACC and 12th most in the country with 466.
