Boston College will host Holy Cross at Alumni Stadium in the 2018 and 2020 seasons following a 32-year break in their longstanding football rivalry.
The teams met 82 times between 1896 and 1986. BC has faced Holy Cross more than any other opponent in school history and leads the series 48-31-3, including a 56-26 victory in 1986.
“This will be a renewal of one of the oldest and greatest traditions of college football in New England,” Boston College director of athletics Brad Bates said. “For many years, this was ‘the game’ for alumni and fans of both schools, and I am delighted that we are able to renew ‘ for at least two years ‘ this spirited and long-standing rivalry.”
