Hey, you know that vaunted BC Defense?

[GoSU96]

It's giving up 40pts a game in conference games. SU is averaging 35. BC is giving up 190 yds per game on the ground against conference opponents.

They are also 124th in scoring 8 pts per game and total offense 232 yds in conference game in the country. Only Rutgers is worse.

In conference the average score is 8-40 and 232 offense to 407 defense yds.

For SU, even with the Lville beat down and hurricane influenced game it's not as skewed.

22-35 average score and 434 to 548 yds

their defense looks good because their offense is so bad. most teams score 17, shut it down, go home with a win.

they played two teams that can throw the ball and got demolished twice

they've lost 11 of last 12 against BCS teams i think?

as long as we dont have a turnover implosion and limit big plays to less than 5 we will be fine.

The ESPN fools (3 out of 4 of them) picked BC, and they have BC scoring a lot of points. Dino can mention that in the postgame victory speech

A big play for BC is a 12 yard completion.

As mentioned in another thread the weather is suppose to be ugly, 80% chance of rain and winds 25-40 mph. It did not go so well the last time we faced a team with a tough defense in bad conditions. We really need to win this game.

They didn't know.

It's not their fault.

I got light rain, 56 and 9mph wins for Chestnut Hill. I think it's still very much "could go in a few ways"...

BC's D is a fraud. They give up 407 yards per game vs P5 teams. Those games were against:

GA Tech averages 321 yards per game against P5 schools. Against BC (playing in Ireland) they only got 238 yards. So BC did a good job here, although it was the first game of the year.

VA Tech averages 402 yards per game against P5 schools. They had 476 against BC which is well above their average. A good D doesn't allow well above average.

Clemson averages 470 yards per game against the P5. They had 508 against BC, so again their D was worse than average.

A good D doesn't allow opponents to have above average performances on O. Even if weather is a factor, we only have to score 17 points to beat them. Their O is that bad. They average 231 yards per game vs the P5 which is the worst of any P5 school. In their last 12 games vs the P5 they have only reached 17 points in two games and average less than 10 ppg.

Worse than Rutgers is really, really hard to do. They should celebrate.

Wow. I just looked at the stats for the bc vs Vtech game. BC got absolutely crushed.

Man, I would love to win this game in convincing fashion heading into the bye week. Can't wait for this game.
