CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College’s postseason hopes will live for another week.

Patrick Towles passed for 183 yards and a touchdown in his final home game, Davon Jones added a rushing score and Boston College defeated UConn 30-0 on Saturday.

Eagles senior linebacker Matt Milano added a 19-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Huskies (3-8) started freshman Donovan Williams at quarterback for the second straight game in an attempt to jumpstart an offense that was averaging an FBS-worst 16.5 points per game. But UConn managed just 121 yards, with Williams throwing three interceptions.
