CHESTNUT HILL, Massachusetts (Ticker) -- Boston College escaped with a 30-29 victory over Baylor when Kyle Atteberry's extra point attempt after a touchdown in overtime sailed wide left.

Ced Washington rushed for 177 yards and three touchdowns, including a one-yard scoring run that gave Boston College the lead in overtime. McKinley Bowie's 83-yard interception return with 25 seconds left in the second quarter staked Baylor (0-1) to a 16-7 lead. The Eagles tied it in the third quarter on John Matich's 21-yard field goal and Washington's four-yard TD run.

But the Bears pulled even just a minute later on Alfred's 73-yard TD pass to Andra Fuller. Carlton Rowe's one-yard run put BC up 7-3 wiith 2:33 left in the first quarter. But Baylor wide receiver Lanny O'Steen recovered a fumble in the end to cap an eight-play, 80-yard drive that gave the Bears a 10-7 lead 5:21 into the second. Boston College rushed for 354 yards, while holding Baylor to just 129 on the ground. Tim Hasselbeck completed 13-of-29 passes for 101 yards.
