The Boston College Eagles kicked off fall camp on Friday and we spent the morning at practice. Here are my ten takeaways after visiting the Eagles. 1, Hafley has an edge to him: Head Coach Jeff Hafley is coaching with a chip on his shoulder. It was evident in practice and his post practice press conference. “The urgency has always been the same, but do I have a little bit…
Boston College kicks off training camp this morning and expectations are once again high for Jeff Hafley’s squad. Hafley is entering his third season at the helm and while last season was supposed to be the breakout season, the Eagles finished 6-6 thanks to an injury to quarterback Phil Jurkovec and inconsistent play. With a bevy of skill players back on in Jurkovec, wide receiver Zay Flowers and running back…

Thamel reported that there were $600,000 and $300,000 deals on the table had Flowers chosen to leave. As one of 14 children with a single parent, no…
Boston College held its annual Jay McGillis Spring Football game today at the Heights. The team split up into two teams, Team Boston and Team Eagles. The offensive starters were predominantly on Team Boston while many of the defensive starters were on Team Eagles. Team Boston ended up winning 22-10 but the second half saw players playing on both sides and a running clock. Here are five thoughts on todays…
As odd as it may seem, there are still some “firsts” to be had in the Jeff Hafley era. On Saturday morning at 11, the Eagles will have their first real spring game under Coach Hafley in what should be a very entertaining couple of hours that will also be airing live on ACC Network. We’ll be watching five things very closely, despite the Eagles keeping things pretty vanilla when…
It’s been a long time since a Boston College quarterback had this much hype around him in March. Phil Jurkovec is now entering his third season as the Eagles’ quarterback and it’s an enormous year for him and the team. Not only does Jurkovec have a chance to build a case for himself to be drafted high in the 2023 NFL Draft, but BC has legitimate ACC championship game hopes…
