Rutgers (0-1) at Boston College (0-1) — Game Preview
Rutgers travels to Chestnut Hill to face Boston College at Alumni Stadium on September 11, 2026, with both programs looking to bounce back from season-opening losses. Neither team arrives ranked, but the Friday night window on ESPN2 gives each side a chance to find its footing before the schedule gets tougher.
Rutgers quarterback Dylan Lonergan completed 16 of 29 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in the opener but also threw three interceptions, and cleaning up that turnover margin will matter against a Boston College defense fronted by Christian Hudson, who already has a half-sack on the season.
Boston College will lean on running back Evan Dickens, who carried 11 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, to control the clock and limit Lonergan’s opportunities. Rutgers counters with running back Antwan Raymond, who added 14 carries for 42 yards, and linebacker Sean Allison, who already has 8 tackles patrolling the middle of the Scarlet Knights’ defense.

Players to Watch: Rutgers vs. Boston College
Rutgers
Dylan Lonergan — QB. Rutgers’ starting quarterback opened the season 16 of 29 for 242 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted three times, a turnover rate the Scarlet Knights need to correct on the road. A cleaner outing against Boston College would go a long way toward evening Rutgers’ record.
Antwan Raymond — RB. Raymond carried the ball 14 times for 42 yards in the opener, giving Rutgers a complementary ground option alongside Lonergan’s arm. He projects as a valuable outlet if Boston College’s defense pressures the passing game.
Sean Allison — LB. The Scarlet Knights’ leading tackler in Week 1, Allison racked up 8 tackles from his linebacker spot. Slowing Boston College’s run game will lean heavily on his ability to fill gaps and finish plays.
Boston College
Evan Dickens — RB. Dickens ran 11 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Boston College’s season opener, pacing the Eagles’ backfield. Expect another heavy workload as Boston College tries to shorten the game against Rutgers.
Christian Hudson — DL. Hudson already has a half-sack on the season from the defensive line, part of a front tasked with disrupting Lonergan’s rhythm. His pressure off the edge could be the difference in a matchup between two 0-1 teams.
