Boston College's Jahmin Muse Houses the Colgate INT | ACC Must See Moment

BOSTON (AP) Phil Jurkovec (WATCH:  College QB Phil Jurkovec Locked In Versus Colgate) threw for three touchdowns and 303 yards in a little over three quarters, leading Boston College to a 51-0 victory over Colgate on Saturday in the season opener for both schools.

Jurkovec, a 6-foot-5 redshirt junior who transferred from Notre Dame before last season, completed 16 of 24 passes with no interceptions. Last season, he threw for 2,558 yards, the most ever by a BC quarterback in his first 10 games.

After a sloppy first quarter, the Eagles took charge by scoring on their final three possessions of the second, taking a 27-0 edge into halftime.

Travis Levy had a 3-yard scoring run, and Jahmin Muse added a 22-yard INT return for a TD.

Colgate QB Grant Breneman was 9 of 16 for just 77 yards and was picked off twice.

Leading 7-0, Jurkovec hit 6-6 tight end Trae Barry, a graduate transfer from Jacksonville State, deep down the left sideline. Barry hurdled over defensive back Keshaun Dancy near the 5-yard line before taking it into the end zone for a 51-yard score.

On the next possession, Jurkovec threw a deep pass over the middle to Zay Flowers (WATCH: Boston College WR Zay Flowers Sensational Versus Colgate), who made a leaping grab in the end zone between two defenders for a 39-yard TD.

Jurkovec capped a nine-play, 89-yard march on the final drive of the half by lofting a 10-yard scoring pass to true freshman Jaden Williams.

Jurkovec ran for 43 yards around the left end on his last drive of the day, setting up Pat Garwo's 2-yard TD run early in the fourth.

It was the first-ever meeting between the schools.
