Chestnut Hill, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Tyler Murphy led a punishing Boston College ground attack with 191 yards and a touchdown, and an inspired Eagles team ended an 11-game losing streak against ranked opponents with a stunning 37-31 victory over ninth-ranked Southern California at Alumni Stadium. On a night they paid tribute to an alumnus killed while saving several lives during the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001, the Eagles churned out 452 rushing yards and scored 24 straight points at one stretch to record their first win over a top-25 foe since besting Florida State in 2009. Murphy, who managed just 54 passing yards on a 5-of-13 completion rate and was intercepted once, put the finishing touches on the upset by tearing off a 66- yard touchdown run that gave Boston College (2-1) a 37-24 lead with 3:30 remaining. Jon Hilliman had two of the Eagles five rushing touchdowns, while Boston Colleges fired-up defense sacked Cody Kessler five times and held USC to a mere 20 rushing yards. Kessler did throw for four touchdowns and completed 31-of-41 attempts for 317 yards, but was mostly held in check after the Trojans built a 17-6 lead less than a minute into the second quarter. Javorius Allen finished with 118 yards and a touchdown on nine catches for a USC (2-1) squad fresh off last weeks hard-earned win at defending Pac-12 champ Stanford. Nelson Agholor added 64 yards and a touchdown on nine grabs. The heavily favored Trojans appeared on their way to a rather effortless win after Allen took a screen pass 51 yards to the end zone to give his team a 17-6 advantage early in the second quarter. It would be the last big play produced by the USC offense for quite some time, however. The Trojans went three-and-out on their next four drives as Boston College closed out the first half with 14 unanswered points to forge ahead, with Hilliman starting the comeback with a 3-yard run that capped an 8-play, 75- yard march. The teams then traded punts until BCs Sherman Alston took a pitch on an end around and followed some strong downfield blocking en route to a momentum- shifting 54-yard touchdown that sent the Eagles ahead by a 20-17 count 1:27 prior to the intermission. Boston Colleges defense came up with another quick stop on USCs initial possession of the second half, inducing a punt that Alston took 22 yards into Trojans territory. The Eagles needed just five plays -- all runs -- to reach the end zone again, with Hilliman plowing in from a yard out for a 27-17 lead midway through the third quarter. USCs offense continued to sputter, punting the ball away on its next three trips. Murphy brooke loose for runs of 25 and 27 yards following the last of those punts, putting Joey Launceford in range for a 25-yard field goal that made it a 13-point game with 7:42 left. With the Trojans now nearing desperation mode, Kessler stepped up. The junior triggerman made good on 8-of-9 throws in engineering a 10-play, 75-yard jaunt that culminated in Agholors 10-yard touchdown reception that pulled USC within 30-24 with 4:32 to go. The Eagles, who donned their helmets, shoes and gloves with a red bandanna pattern in honor of Welles Crowther, a former BC lacrosse player and equities trader responsible for ushering several World Trade Center workers to safety before the South Tower collapsed, werent done fighting, however. Two plays after Agholors score, Murphy broke containment on a read option play and outraced the USC defense for a back-breaking 66-yard touchdown. Kesslers fourth TD strike of the day, a 14-yarder to Darreus Rogers, cut the lead to 37-31 with 1:18 left, but the Eagles recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt before running out the clock. Both defenses were strong early on, as the game began with a series of punts that resulted in the Trojans starting their third drive of the night at the BC 38. Kessler went 4-for-4 on a 6-play trek he ended with an 8-yard delivery to George Farmer that put USC up 7-0 just under nine minutes in. The Trojan defense then forced a third straight three-and-out, with J.R. Tavais sack of Murphy and Agholors 11-yard punt return setting up Andre Heidaris 52-yard field goal with 3:16 left in the opening quarter. Boston Colleges offense finally got untracked on its next possession, which Myles Willis began by ripping off a 52-yard run off left tackle to ignite a 7- play sequence that ended with Tyler Rouse scoring on an option pitch from Murphy on the first play of the second quarter. Launceford missed the extra point try. The 10-6 score lasted just 48 seconds, though, as Allen weaved his way down the right sideline while hauling in a short pass from Kessler on 3rd-and-12 to put USC back up by double digits.

The Oilers used a 27-save save shutout by Devan Dubnyk and a pair of goals by Smyth to beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 on Friday. Smyth, who also scored into an empty net with six seconds left, had a fortunate bounce to open the scoring in the first period. With Smyth stationed at the top of the goal crease, Ales Hemsky fired puck from the corner that hit Smyth in the chest and bounced past Calgarys Reto Berra. There was a lengthy video review but the goal was upheld. "When you get a goal like that, light the light and keep them at zero," said Dubnyk. "We did a good job, especially toward the end of game when they were pushing to get one, we didnt give them much." It was Smyths first goals in 14 games. "Smitty battled throughout the game tonight, I thought he was really working," said Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins. Less than three minutes before Smyths goal, it appeared Calgary had taken the first lead when Mark Giordano fired a shot through the pads of Dubnyk. However, as the Flames celebrated the goal, the cheers from the sell-out crowd of 19,289 quickly turned to boos when the goal was being waved off for incident contact with the goalie by Flames six-foot-five centre Joe Colborne. "Its a great call," said Dubnyk. "I know, obviously being here, nobody likes it, but it would have been an easy one for him to let go because it wasnt too noticeable, but he comes through the crease and spins me sideways on the original play. "If he hadnt of done that, then I wouldnt have been sprawling and stretching, and it wouldnt have gone under my arm." Colborne didnt see the play unfold in quite the same way. "To tell you the truth, I didnt even notice touching the goalie. I thought Gio made a really nice fake and because Dubynk was screened, he bit on it then needed to reset himself so he was kind of scrambling and Gio got off a good shot," Colborne said. "To get that first goal of the game was pretty big and were coming back to celebrate with the rest of our team and then you see them waving it off. Its frustrating but regardless, you have to score more than one goal ussually anyway so even if that one counted, we still have to go out and play the rest of the game.dddddddddddd" Dubnyk recorded his second shutout of the season and eighth of his career. "Its always fun to play here," said Dubnyk, who played his minor hockey in Calgary. "Ive lived a lot of years here and its always fun to win. This is the first shutout here, so its extra special." Edmonton (13-24-3), which won consecutive games for the first time in over a month, will go for three victories in a row Saturday night when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. Calgary (14-18-6) has split the first two games in its five-game home stand. Next up is the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. "The bottom line is we didnt play a very good game. We didnt give ourselves a chance to win. Heres one game that I didnt think we had our usual jump," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. Edmonton moves to within five points of the Flames in the Western Conference standings. "You have to give them credit, they are a hard-working team, but by no means are we going to lay down and be pushed over," Smyth said. "Were a team thats going to fight and claw and try and get ourselves bumping up in the standings, one game at a time and we did it tonight." It was the third meeting between the two provincial rivals and the third straight goaltending duel between Dubnyk and Berra. They had split the first two. Six minutes into the third period, Giordano nearly tied the game but had his shot from the point go off Dubnyks glove and then hit the crossbar. "We didnt get the bounces tonight but we werent good enough. We have to generate more and find ways to score," said Giordano. "For too long of periods of time, we were standing around and not moving our feet enough." Berra had 26 saves to fall to 5-9-2. All five of his wins have come in overtime or a shootout.
