CHESTNUT HILL- The Notre Dame Fighting Irish beat the Boston College 25-10 in a game that was a slog in the first half but ended up being a back and forth game in the second half with the Irish ultimately prevailing.
Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: The latest installment of the Holy War takes place this weekend and it might be one of the least-talked about versions of the rivalry in quite some time. BC enters at 1-7, losers of seven straight and decimated by injuries. Meanwhile, Notre Dame is 5-2, ranked 12th in the country and only a few wins away from locking up another spot in the College Football……
Image courtesy of Timothy D. Easley/AP Well, at least the Eagles covered. BC entered another prime time matchup with Louisville on Saturday night as 25.5-point underdogs. Vegas and the rest of the football-watching world expected the Cardinals to roll over the depleted Eagles. But, BC did its best to hang around with No. 19 Louisville. Unfortunately, turnovers and 319 yards given up on the ground – including multiple 60+ yard…
Kickoff: With six straight losses and a 1-6 record, things can’t really get much worse for BC. Although, they might this weekend. Louisville is currently a 25.5-point favorite for their prime time showdown on Saturday night. The Cardinals are 5-1, ranked 19th in the country and have the ACC Huddle crew on hand for the first time in program history, making the red and black the stars of the weekend…
Image courtesy of The Salem News St. John’s Prep head coach Brian St. Pierre was stressed out about missing a practice this past weekend. St. Pierre hadn’t missed one as the head coach of the program for 11 years now and never missed one as a player at BC or in the NFL, but he just couldn’t get out of this pesky little commitment… That ‘commitment’ was enjoying a weekend…
Image courtesy of UConn Athletics CHESTNUT HILL – UConn is no longer a program you can mock. The Huskies are for real and Jim Mora still isn’t getting enough credit. UConn strolled into Alumni Stadium on Saturday fully believing it could beat BC. After trailing by three at halftime, the Huskies dominated the second half en route to an impressive 38-23 victory over BC. Joe Fagnano was nearly unstoppable, going…
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…
Image courtesy of BC Athletics CHESTNUT HILL – For just over 11 minutes on Tuesday, Bill O’Brien stood in front of a camera and six reporters and passionately defended the struggling BC program. At 1-5 and losers of four straight, Boston College has been in a stunning tailspin with seemingly no way out. This weekend, a 4-2 UConn team comes to town with nothing to lose and everything to gain…
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…
