Ryan, Boston College host Bowling Green in non-conference game

Oct 6, 2007 - 10:46 AM Bowling Green (3-1) at No. 7 Boston College (5-0) 12:00 pm EDT

CHESTNUT HILL, Massachusetts (Ticker) -- Matt Ryan and Boston College are looking to continue their best start in more than 50 years.

Ryan leads the seventh-ranked Eagles into Saturday's non-conference matchup with Bowling Green at Alumni Stadium.

Boston College improved to 5-0 for the first time since 1954 with a 24-14 triumph over intrastate foe Massachusetts last weekend.

Andre Callender rushed for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Heisman Trophy candidate Ryan threw for 204 yards and a score for the Eagles, who struggled to put away the Football Championship Subdivision squad after taking a 17-0 lead into the break.

Bowling Green has won back-to-back games, improving to 3-1 on the campaign with a 41-21 home triumph over Western Kentucky last weekend.

Tyler Sheehan threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another TD for the Falcons, who scored the game's first 24 points and cruised thereafter.

The teams will be meeting for the first time.
