When coach Paul Kemp took over at Boston University in 1973, he inherited a team that finished 2–8 in 1972. The team improved to 3–8 in 1973. Kemp termed the 1974 season "Project Turnabout", and the team opened with three wins and one loss.[2] The team went 2–3–1 in its final four games, but still wound up with the program's first winning season since 1970.[1] Near the end of the season, coach Kemp said: "We're happy with our winning season. I think we're a pretty good team and we've been getting better in each game."[3]
Several Boston University players received post-season honors in 1974.
