Cal finally won a close one.

After dropping four straight games by a combined nine points last season, the Bears opened ACC play with a 28-24 victory at Boston College Saturday when freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to tight end Mason Mini with 1:30 to play.

Cal (4-1, 1-0) didn’t clinch the victory until linebacker Luke Ferrelli intercepted a pass in the end zone with 15 seconds left, ending a promising threat by the Eagles (1-3, 0-1) at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

After back-to-back false start penalties against the Bears from the 1-yard line and an offsides flag against the Eagles, Cal finally ran the clock out when Sagapolutele took a knee.

Sagapolutele overcame an early interception and finished the game 22 for 34 for 254 yards
