BC’s clutch, efficient senior-era QB who helped spark a bowl-run finish
In the 2004 season, Paul Peterson emerged as Boston College’s steady trigger man, finishing 12-2 as a starter and helping the Eagles win both the San Francisco Bowl and Continental Tire Bowl. He wasn’t just a stats guy—his calling card was composure, efficient decision-making, and leadership in big moments, which is why BC trusted him to steer the offense after a midseason change. He also added enough mobility to keep defenses honest, and multiple sources note his strong passing efficiency, bowl MVP impact, and team-first reputation.
