BOSTON — Boston College coach Jeff Hafley was trying to figure out how to stop Pittsburgh’s offense in a second overtime when he took a quick look and realized the game was over after the Panthers missed an extra-point attempt to give the Eagles a 31-30 win on Saturday night.

“I was getting ready to go back on defense again and glanced up from my sheet and saw it was wide right,” Hafley said. “I think I actually jumped up on that.”

Phil Jurkovec threw three touchdown passes to Zay Flowers — the last a 25-yarder in overtime — and ran for a score to lead BC (3-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

“I was super shocked,” Jurkovec said of the missed PAT. “I was surprised because the kicker made the 58 yarder.”

Jurkovec, a sophomore transfer from Notre Dame and a Pine-Richland High School graduate, was 19 of 35 for 358 yards passing as the Eagles rebounded from a frustrating close loss to then-No. 12 North Carolina. Flowers had six catches for 162 yards.

Kenny Pickett completed 25 of 48 passes for 266 yards for Pittsburgh (3-2, 2-2). He threw two TD passes, ran for a score, and then limped off the field late in the third quarter but returned in the next series to throw an interception.

On BC’s first possession in overtime, Jurkovec threw a strike down the middle to Flowers in the end zone on third-and-10.

“I knew I was going to get the 25-yarder,” Flowers said. “I had a feeling.”

Pitt answered in OT when Pickett hit Taysir Mack with a 3-yard TD pass, but Alex Kessman missed wide right on the PAT. Kessman had hit a 58-yard field goal with 40 seconds left in regulation. BC’s Aaron Boumerhi was wide left on a 52-yarder as time expired to force overtime.
