The Boston College–Holy Cross football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Boston College Eagles and Holy Cross Crusaders. [1]Though the rivalry has been largely dormant since the 1980s, it was once contested annually as a season-ending game that "determined the best team in New England", as one player recalled.
The Eagles captured the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy (emblematic of the 'Eastern championship'). Boston College won its first eight games of the season, climbing to No. 1 in the AP Poll, but lost to rival Holy Cross in the final game of the regular season. The result, however, was a stunning rout loss, 12–55.
Holy Cross was favored to win and, consistent with the scheme, were bet on to win by a margin greater than the seven-point spread.

Holy Cross enjoyed a football renaissance over the next decade under coaches Rick E. Carter (35–19–2) and especially Mark Duffner (60–5–1). In 1983, the team was No. 3 in the nation in I-AA under Carter. Under Duffner, Holy Cross became the nation's most successful I-AA program. There were 11–0 seasons in both 1987 and 1991.
