Boston College 3 7 0 3 13
Northwestern 6 6 3 7 22
EVANSTON, Ill. (Sept. 15, 2012) – Mike Trumpy ran for 106 yards with a late touchdown and Northwestern beat Boston College, 22-13.
Jeff Budzien tied a school record with fi ve fi eld goals and the Wildcats (3-0) made it three wins over three BCS teams to start the season
even though they didn’t reach the end zone until the closing minutes. They downed a punt at the 1 to pin Boston College (1-2) against the
goal line and took over on the Eagles’ 44 with 2:35 left in the game after they went three-and-out. Kain Colter threw for 144 yards and ran
for 66, while Trevor Siemian threw for 123 yards. Venric Mark ran for 77 yards but spent the fourth quarter on the sideline limping with an
undisclosed lower body injury. Chase Rettig came up big for Boston College, completing 24 of 44 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown,
but the Eagles fell short. That led to a 19-yarder by Budzien to make it 15-10 late in the third, but again, the fi eld goal came after a missed
opportunity. This time, Colter overthrew a wide open Christian Jones in the end zone on second down at the 6 before getting stopped on a
4-yard run. Nate Freese pulled Boston College within two with a 34-yard fi eld goal in the opening seconds of the fourth.

BOSTON COLLEGE DEBUTS
Seven Boston College freshmen have seen action through the team’s fi rst three games of 2012 – TE • Dan Crimmins,
LB Steven Daniels, TE Mike Giacone, WR Harrison Jackson, DB Bryce Jones, LB Tim Joy, DB Justin Simmons.
Five full-time coaches – off ensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach • Doug Martin (Oak Ridge, Tenn.), off ensive line/
running game coordinator Jim Bollman (Ashtabula, Ohio), running backs/special teams coach Sean Desai (Shel-
ton, Conn.), wide receivers coach Aaron Smith (West Point, N.Y.) and assistant special teams/assistant defensive
line coach Al Washington (Columbus, Ohio) – each coached in their fi rst Boston College game on Sept. 1 against
Miami.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PIONEER HONORED
At halftime of the season-opening game against Miami, Boston College honored • Lou Montgomery of the class
of 1941 by retiring his jersey. He was the fi rst African-American football player to wear Boston College’s Maroon
and Gold. He was an exciting and highly skilled running back and a major off ensive contributor to the Eagles teams
that won 19 of 20 regular-season games in his junior and senior seasons and earned invitations to the 1940 Cotton
Bowl and the 1941 Sugar Bowl. Tragically, because of the severe and unjust racial segregation customs of that era,
Lou Montgomery was not allowed to participate in either of those post-season games or in regular-season games
against teams from the South. Rising above that unspeakable prejudice, Lou Montgomery never compromised his
own high principles, his undaunted spirit or his unwavering support of his teammates and fellow Boston College
students. His jersey is now permanently displayed on the southeast facade of Alumni Stadium, where is has been
added to the commemorative jerseys of Boston College’s top football legends.
DAVENPORT, JAVORSKI EARN SCHOLARSHIPS
Defensive back • Ted Davenport and running back Mike Javorski earned full scholarships, it was announced by
head coach Frank Spaziani on Wednesday, August 22. Davenport is a 6-foot-2, 209-pound product of Medway,
Mass. Javorski is a 5-foot-7, 165-pound product of LaGrande, Ill. and St. Ignatius Prep. Javorski is a biology major
and Davenport is a fi nance major who served as an orientation leader for the Boston College First-Year Experience
program during the summer months of 2012.
CLEARY, NOEL, PANTALE, RAMSEY ELECTED CAPTS.
Seniors • Emmett Cleary, Jim Noel, Chris Pantale and Kaleb Ramsey were named captains on August 6 by a
vote of their peers. Cleary, a 6-foot-7, 313-pound product of Arlington Heights, Ill., is a two-time All-Atlantic Coast
Conference Academic team honoree. Noel is a 6-foot-4, 200-pound safety from Everett, Mass., was awarded the
program's Jay McGillis Memorial Scholarship in April 2012. Pantale is a 6-foot-6, 255-pound tight end from Wayne,
N.J. who has 77 career receptions for 797 yards and fi ve touchdowns in the last three seasons. Pantale is expected
to miss several weeks after sustaining a foot injury during camp. Ramsey, the 6-foot-3, 302-pound defensive tackle
from Uniontown, Pa., was granted a medical hardship waiver following injury in the team's season-opening game
against Northwestern last fall.

THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ...
12 2012 BOSTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTES
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (AP) - Freshman Duke Johnson broke two long touchdown runs, rushing for 135 yards to lead
Miami to a 41-32 victory over Boston College.
Johnson scored from 54 and 56 yards out for the Hurricanes, and Stephen Morris threw for 207 yards and a touchdown
in the season opener for both teams. The schools also played each other in the 2011 finale, when BC beat the
Hurricanes in Miami for the first time since Doug Flutie’s famous desperation pass in 1984.
Chase Rettig led BC on two quick touchdown drives to open the game, scoring on Andre Williams’ 4-yard run on the
first drive of the game and then a 15-yard pass to Jake Sinkovec. But Miami tied it before the quarter was over, scoring
on Eduardo Clements’ 1-yard run and then, on the final play of the first, Denzel Perryman’s 41-yard interception
return.
After Nate Freese kicked a 26-yard field goal to give BC the lead again, Johnson broke loose from 54 yards out and
scored to make it 21-17. BC took the lead with two more field goals, but Miami’s Jake Wieclaw answered with one and
then Johnson broke another long one.
Rettig completed 32 of 51 passes for 441 yards and two touchdowns for BC, which led 14-0 after its first two
possessions. But Johnson’s second score made it 31-23, and then the Eagles fumbled the ball away on consecutive
drives to start the fourth quarter. That set up a field goal and touchdown to give Miami a 41-23 lead.
BC cut the deficit on Rettig’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Tahj Kimble, but it wasn’t enough. Late in the fourth quarter,
the Eagles came up just short of the goal line on a third-down pass to Spiffy Evans. With the clock below 2:30, Rettig
quickly lined up and tried to sneak it in but was stopped for no gain. The play was reviewed and upheld.
Miami took an intentional safety with 4 seconds left rather than punt from deep in its own end zone.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (AP) - Junior quarterback Chase Rettig threw three touchdown passes, and sophomore Spiffy
Evans caught one score and ran a punt back 82 yards for another as Boston College beat Maine 34-3. Junior place-
kicker Nate Freese booted two field goals, helping the Eagles rebound from a season-opening loss to Miami last week.
The loss was the season opener and the 1,000th game for Maine’s program. Brian Harvey had a 19-yard field goal for
the Black Bears. Rettig went 16 of 32 for 219 yards and no interceptions. Junior running back Rolandan Finch carried
17 times for 90 yards.
The longtime hockey rivals were locked in a surprisingly tight battle before the Eagles scored 17 points in the final
7:09 of the second quarter. Boston College broke it open with a field goal and two TDs late in the third. Maine’s
Marcus Wasilewski was 20 of 42 for 134 yards and two interceptions.
It was just the seventh meeting between the schools, with the first five coming before 1930. The Eagles outgained
the Black Bears by nearly 100 yards in the opening quarter, but fumbled it away twice and trailed 3-0 after one.
In the second, BC avoided turning the ball over, got its offense on track and marched 62 yards in nine plays with Rettig
capping the drive with a 3-yard TD toss to Evans to move ahead 7-3. Rettig completed a pair of passes for 27 yards,
moving the ball deep into Maine’s territory, before junior Andre Williams carried to the 3 to set up the score.
After the Black Bears gave the ball back to BC at its own 10 following a botched snap on a punt attempt, the Eagles
made it 14-3 on Rettig’s 9-yard scoring strike to Johnathan Coleman, who made a nice grab along the back line of the
end zone. Freese’s 39-yard field goal with 61 seconds left in the first half made it 17-3.
The Eagles outgained the Black Bears 229-65 in the first half. Midway into the third, BC safety Jim Noel picked off
Wasilewski’s pass at the Black Bears’ 18. Six plays later, Freese kicked a 20-yard field goal to make it 20-3.
Late in the quarter, Evans backpedaled to handle a long punt, bolted up the middle and raced untouched for the score,
making it 27-3.
The Eagles turned it into a rout when Rettig threw a 32-yard TD strike to Alex Amidon on the play after Manuel
Asprilla picked off a pass. In the opening quarter, BC marched down to Maine’s 14-yard line before Tahj Kimble
fumbled it diving toward the goal line. After a replay review, it was ruled that the ball hit the pylon and rolled into the
end zone, giving the Black Bears the ball on the 20.
Later in the quarter, Maine’s Darlos James recovered Finch’s fumble at the Eagles’ 10. The Black Bears were unable to
punch it into the end zone, though, getting stopped at the 2 before Harvey’s field goal.
It was similar to the final quarter of their opening week loss to Miami when the Eagles fumbled the ball away on their
first two possessions of the fourth.

14 2012 BOSTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTES
EVANSTON, ILL. (AP) - Mike Trumpy ran for 106 yards with a late touchdown, and Northwestern beat Boston College
22-13 on Saturday.
Jeff Budzien tied a school record with five field goals and the Wildcats (3-0) made it three wins over three BCS teams
to start the season even though they did not reach the end zone until the closing minutes.
They downed a punt at the one to pin Boston College (1-2) against the goal line and took over on the Eagles' 44 with
2:35 left in the game after they went three-and-out.
After going three quarters against Vanderbilt the previous week without a TD, Northwestern finally broke through in
this one when Trumpy broke up the middle for a 27-yard scoring run that made it 22-13 with 1:37 remaining.
Before that, Budzien's leg provided all the scoring. Northwestern wasted several big chances, particularly in the early
going, and had to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns. But with their kicker on target, the Wildcats led most of
the way to come out with the win hours after the school announced plans for a new lakefront athletics complex that
will include a facility for football.
Kain Colter threw for 144 yards and ran for 66, while Trevor Siemian threw for 123 yards. Venric Mark ran for 77 yards
but spent the fourth quarter on the sideline limping with an undisclosed lower body injury.
Chase Rettig came up big for Boston College, completing 24 of 44 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown, but the
Eagles fell short.
Budzien's 41-yarder at the end of the second quarter gave the Wildcats a 12-10 lead, but that came right after another
blown chance. A leaping Kyle Prater deflected a wobbly pass from Siemian in the end zone that probably should have
been caught anyway for a 23-yard TD.
Northwestern caught a break after Colter lost a fumble near midfield on its first possession of the third quarter.
Boston College took over at the Wildcats 45 and drove to the 5 before Rolandan Finch got stripped at the line by Brian
Arnfelt, with Chi Chi Ariguzo recovering the ball for Northwestern.
That led to a 19-yarder by Budzien to make it 15-10 late in the third, but again, the field goal came after a missed
opportunity. This time, Colter overthrew a wide open Christian Jones in the end zone on second down at the 6 before
getting stopped on a 4-yard run.
Nate Freese pulled Boston College within two with a 34-yard field goal in the opening seconds of the fourth.
