BOSTON (AP) — Dave Shinskie rebounded from an interception on the first play of the season by throwing touchdowns on consecutive first-quarter drives and Boston College — bolstered by the return of cancer-survivor Mark Herzlich — rolled past Weber State 38-20 on Saturday in the schools’ season opener.
Herzlich, a linebacker and the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference defensive player of the year, missed the 2009 season as he underwent treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
Boston College led 31-10 at halftime in the teams’ first-ever meeting. It’s the furthest east and north that Weber State has ever played.
Shinskie completed 10 of 20 passes for 185 yards with two interceptions and two touchdowns. Montel Harris carried 19 times for 115 yards and DeLeon Gause returned an interception 66 yards for a score for the Eagles.
