BOSTON (The Associated Press) -

Boston College quarterbacks Justin Tuggle and Dave Shinskie each threw a first-quarter touchdown to lead the Eagles to a 34-7 win over Kent State on Saturday.

Tuggle and Shinskie rotated at quarterback in their audition for the starting job. The Eagles (2-0) posted their second straight lopsided victory after a 54-0 win against Northeastern last week.

Tuggle threw a 6-yard touchdown to Rich Gunnell to give Boston College a 31-0 lead in the third quarter. Gunnell, who finished with six catches for 114 yards, also caught a 21-yard score from Shinskie in the opening quarter.

Kent State backup quarterback Spencer Keith connected with Jon Simpson for a 4-yard score with 2:15 left in the game. The Golden Flashes' (1-1) score spoiled the Eagles' bid for consecutive season-opening shutouts for the first time since 1933.
