Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: Two teams going in very different directions and stunningly, it’s the opposite of what most people would thought would be the case when the schedule came out. The Huskies feel good coming off a bye and a 51-point performance against FIU two weeks ago. UConn is 4-2 and two wins from a third bowl bid in four years. Meanwhile, BC is reeling. The Eagles sit……

CHESTNUT HILL – There’s really not much more to say at this point. You are what your record says you are and right now, Boston College is a lifeless football team. With purple and orange taking over Alumni Stadium on Saturday night – although the BC student section did its part again, showing up in full force –  Clemson handed the Eagles a fifth straight loss, 41-10 in a game…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: Clemson may not be the Clemson we’ve all been accustomed to over the last decade or so, but the Tigers roll into Chestnut Hill on Saturday night for a prime time matchup coming off a blowout over Bill Belichick and UNC. Bill O’Brien and BC are reeling at 1-4 with four straight losses, but this could actually be the perfect spot for the Eagles to…

Image courtesy of BC Athletics There’s no sugarcoating it. It’s been ugly. There’s no denying that the BC football season has been the complete opposite of what many thought it would be just a couple months ago. The Eagles are 1-4, 0-3 in the ACC and could be on the verge of one of the poorer seasons in recent programs history. But, it’s also important to remember that these are…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: It took until October, but BC has its first noon kickoff of the season on Saturday when the Eagles visit Pitt for a near must-win game. BC is coming off back-to-back losses against Stanford and Cal with a bye weekend sandwiched in between. The Eagles are extremely banged up – particularly on defense – and are in danger of falling to 1-4 on the season. BC…

CHESTNUT HILL – Before BC can win games consistently, it has to learn how not to lose. Sounds a little like the local pro team. The Eagles fell at home 28-24 Saturday in front of 44,500 fans on Parent’s Weekend. But, it wasn’t just the loss that dropped BC to 1-3 overall and 0-2 in the ACC, it was how they lost. First, clinging to a 24-21 lead, BC gave…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: BC is in a must-win situation when they host Cal on Saturday afternoon. A week after the bye, BC sits at 1-2 and 0-1 in the ACC. The Eagles are on the road against Pitt next week before the gauntlet of their schedule begins with Clemson, SMU and Notre Dame all visiting Chestnut Hill. 1st Down: This team is awfully banged up right now. Not…

Image courtesy of The Mercury News Well, this certainly wasn’t what fans envisioned when the schedule came out. After three weeks, BC is 1-2 and searching for answers. The Eagles were double digit favorites heading into a game against Stanford late on Saturday night, but turnovers, missed opportunities and an inability to stop the run all added up to a rather stunning 30-20 loss. The Eagles entered the game banged…
