1971 Boston College Eagles football team
The 1971 Boston College Eagles football team represented Boston College during the 1971 NCAA University Division football season. The Eagles were led by fourth-year head coach Joe Yukica and played their home games at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Boston College finished with a record of 9–2, but were not invited to a bowl game. The Eagles were passed up for a spot in the Peach Bowl in favor of five-loss Georgia Tech, partly due to the Eagles' reputation of having a slow, defense-heavy style of play.Schedule

The game against rival Holy Cross was moved at the last minute to the newly constructed Schaefer Stadium due to a heavy snowstorm making conditions unplayable at Fitton Field in Worcester.Personnel
