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…

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…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: Back in prime time. Boston College has the late game Saturday night at 10:30 on ACC Network. After last week’s wild one in East Lansing, this offense has a chance to put on another show for the rest of the country. More importantly, the Eagles can back on the right side of things heading into a now much-needed early bye week. First down: The defense -…

Image courtesy of BC Athletics Boston College had a chance to make a statement in prime time on Saturday night when the Eagles took on Michigan State on the road. BC did make a statement, going toe-to-toe with a good Big 10 opponent, putting up 40 points on offense. Unfortunately, the Eagles gave up two more points, losing 42-40 in a wild double overtime shootout. There’s reasons to be encouraged…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: It doesn’t get much bigger than prime time on NBC on a Saturday night. BC has a golden opportunity to show the country what type of team it is when the Eagles roll into Spartan Stadium to take on Michigan State. This is a rematch of the red bandanna game last season that BC won in some pretty brutal conditions. The Spartans are coming off a…

CHESTNUT HILL – As far as openers go, this was about as perfect as you can get if you’re a BC fan. There was a brief stretch early in the first half where fans got a bit restless, but other than that, it was smooth sailing in Chestnut Hill as the Eagles rolled to a 66-10 win. The buzz was around campus early with tailgates firing right around 10:15 a.m….

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: One of the most highly anticipated seasons for Boston College in a long time gets underway on Saturday when FCS Patriot League member Fordham visits Chestnut Hill for a 2:00 kickoff.

It’s go time. It’s a big year for BC when it comes to taking the next step. Is the program just destined for 6-6 or 7-5 for another decade? Or, is this finally the year the Eagles are able to break the eight-win threshold for the first time since 2009? Let’s take a position-by-position look at this year’s squad: Quarterbacks This one’s the easy one since it became official. I…
