Boston College: Hafley firmly behind offensive line despite early season struggles

September 13, 2022

Photo – @BCFootball Fans are a lot less patient than coaches. That’s why they’re fans. It’s no secret that the Boston College offensive line has struggled early this season. But, there are a bunch of factors going against the guys up front right now that many fans are just glossing over while immediately making outrageous statements about 18-20 year old kids. Youth and inexperience is at the forefront of the…

Boston College: Johnson & Lindstrom relied on each other while creating quite a bit of buzz for themselves at the NFL Combine

March 5, 2022

The NFL Combine is legitimately something guys prepare for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. This week can be intimidating, nerve-wracking and downright puke inducing for some guys. Many players that attend may never play a down in the NFL or be anything more than a lifelong practice squad guy, but this week is one of only a handful of times prospects can make…

The Eagles regular season record may have some national media members down on BC after a lackluster 2021 year based on preseason expectations, but that doesn’t mean people didn’t take notice of the stellar offensive line.

There’s no place like home. For the Eagles, the road trips are finally done, at least until they head to a bowl game. Starting with Florida State this weekend and then the season finale against Wake Forest on November 20th, BC won’t have to leave the comfy confines of home again for the remainder of the regular season. It may not seem like a huge deal, but for a team…

PHOTO: @BCfootball Friday night is about far more than ending a four game losing streak or trying to figure out who the quarterback should be for the remainder of the season. It’s for Welles Crowther. Virginia Tech visits for what should be an electric atmosphere and another red bandanna game. The jerseys already made one appearance for the UMass game on September 11th, but the official red bandanna game in…

It’s been 34 years since an SEC team took the field at Alumni Stadium. Leading up to the game with Missouri on Saturday, there has suddenly become quite a bit of intrigue surrounding the game far beyond the novelty factor.
