  "account": "Boston College triumphed 22-16 over Maine in a non-conference college football matchup on Saturday. Quarterback Evan Dickens helped the Eagles secure the victory with a 39-yard touchdown run and Mason McKenzie added a 31-yard scoring pass. The Black Bears' Eddie Buehler completed 22 of 32 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Despite being a nearly 40-point favorite, Boston College faltered in several critical moments, including failing to capitalize on multiple fourth-down opportunities. Coach Bill O'Brien acknowledged the need for improvement, especially on offense. Maine's Eddie Buehler completed the winning touchdown pass to Rick Laughlin with just 4 1/2 minutes remaining in the game.",
