The Eagles head coach spoke about how it feels to make a bowl game in his first season in Chestnut Hill.
After starting the season 4-1 and earning a spot in the AP Top 25 Poll at one point, the Eagles went on a midseason skid that halted any opportunity of being an ACC or College Football Playoff contender.
The dominant 41-21 win over the Tar Heels gave Boston College its sixth win of the season and made the team bowl eligible in its second-to-last game of the year. “I’ve been fortunate in my career,” said O’Brien. “I’ve been to some cool bowls. I’ve been to the Cotton Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, Gator Bowl. Just for us in our first year to be able to qualify for a bowl says a lot about the players and the coaching staff. Those guys did a great job.”
