On senior day, BC's final home game of the season, the Eagles beat NC State 38–21 and became bowl-eligible for the first time since 2010 due to a record-setting performance by the nation's leading rusher and Doak Walker candidate Andre Williams. After breaking the single-game rushing record the previous week at New Mexico State, Williams broke his own record by rushing for 339 yards on 42 carries, scoring 2 touchdowns. The single-game performance is also the ACC's single-game rushing record, breaking John Leach of Wake Forest's record of 329 yards in 1993. 339 yards was also the highest single-game performance by any FBS running back during the season. Williams also surpassed Mike Cloud's single-season BC record of 1,726 yards and put himself 385 yards shorts of BC's career rushing record owned by Montel Harris' 3,757 yards. Kicker Nate Freese also set a record, becoming the school's all-time leading scorer, with 299 points. The win tripled the previous season's win total and guaranteed at least a .500 record for the first time since 2010. After the game ended, the students and alumni rushed the field to celebrate with the team. The Boston Red Sox's 2013 World Series trophy was on display during the game as it toured various professional and collegiate teams in the Boston area.
