“It’s a wonderful feeling.”Brown threw for two touchdowns to help Boston College edge Northern Illinois 23-20 in a season opener on Friday night. Northern Illinois had a chance to tie it in the closing seconds, but Christian Hagan’s 39-yard field-goal attempt hit the crossbar. Boston College took a 13-10 lead to intermission after Brown connected with Walker in the final minute. The redshirt junior led all rushers with 99 yards and kept the Huskies’ first touchdown drive alive with a 60-yard keeper. Northern Illinois: The Huskies welcome FCS-member Eastern Illinois the same day.
