Conner runs for 214 yards, Pitt beats BC 30-20

BOSTON -- If James Conner complained about getting tired, imagine how the Boston College defense felt after trying to tackle the Pittsburgh running back during his 35-carry, 213-yard performance Friday night. A week after running for 153 yards and four touchdowns against Delaware of the FCS, Conner backed it up in the Panthers' Atlantic Coast Conference opener. The 250-pound sophomore accounted for more than half of Pitt's offense in a 30-20 victory over BC. "I like when I keep getting my number called," said Conner, who had a 9-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that put the game out of reach. "We wanted to send a message to the ACC. People wanted to see what I could do next, see if I can do it against a little better opponent." Chad Voytik completed 10 of 21 passes for 111 yards, connecting with Tyler Boyd for two touchdowns.
