Boston College game

[Crusty]

The more I look at this game the teams appear evenly matched. This appears to shape up as a real rock fight.
Looking at just ACC games:
Defense
Scoring Defense BC 4 (19.5 ppg) SU 8 (22.3 ppg)
Total Defense BC 4 - SU 6
Passing Defense BC 7 - SU 6
Rushing Defense BC 5 - SU 6

Offense
Scoring Offense BC 8 (21.5 ppg) - SU 13 (15.5 ppg)
Total Offense BC 10 - SU 13
Passing Offense BC 14 - SU 10
Rushing Offense BC 2 - SU 7

BC is very good at TOP because of their run preference. This game could come down to turnovers and TOP.
By November 29th, we could see a return of Terrel Hunt or even Austin Wilson. With AJ that might make three possible QB choices. It is anybody's guess who will be in the gun by then.

a few concerns. We give up on average 3 more points while scoring on average 6 less points, the game is away and will likely be cold, so a run heavy offense will be in good shape. the numbers will be more relevant in a few weeks when they will have faced Lousiville and FSU. Their QB scares the heck out of me with the track record we have against mobile QB's

I'd say this is a little skewed because we blew out Wake and they beat them 23-17. With that game and CMU we've proven we can blast bad teams… we've yet to beat anyone decent.

BC is pretty good team. This will be a big victory if they can pull it off over Thanksgiving weekend at Alumni.

I have watched every one of their games and they look much better than us against better teams. We look like we are constantly hanging on to keep the game close.

If their RB held onto that wheel route on the final drive, then they beat Clemson.

Injuries and incentive (bowl eligibility) could be big factors by the time the game rolls around.

BC is playing with 73 scholarship players right now. Addazzio is doing a great job there and will only get better. Impressive.

This will Be A Tough Away Game.

This will Be A Tough Away Game.

That's what Diamond Ferri said before the game.

Maybe it will be like the last time we closed a season in Chestnut Hill, and BC's starting QB was hurt the game before. If that happens, I really like our chances, because he is their offense. Their 3 games before us are @VT (at some point they have to win at home, right?), home vs Louisville, @ FSU. They might need that final game for their 6th win just like we do.
