doldmoose34 said:I will second and third what Bernie and BSF said above. I like Chase but I think the years of getting the snot knocked out of him are catching up. That fumble and then the holding call on Amidon's reverse were killers but like in the other 3 losses this team didn't quit. We all know what would happen if one break went against us last year, coach sad sack would lead a team turtle
“We need to get more creative plays and we just played some of the best defenses in all of America,” Addazio said. “That will make us better. That will force us to get better. We are going to have a stronger resolve than we’ve ever had. “We are going to take the bye week and get rested and come back, work and get ourselves our fourth win. That’s what we are going to do, that’s how we are going to respect everybody’s effort right now.”
The Eagles offense won’t veer dramatically from the power running of tailback Andre Williams and the play-action passing of quarterback Chase Rettig. Those are among Addazio’s core football values, but he believes there is room for innovation and creativity within the structure. Addazio wants to add some fresh looks over the second half of the season, a slate that includes road games at UNC, New Mexico State, Maryland and Syracuse with home tilts against Virginia Tech and North Carolina State.
“We have to create a few more explosives, we have to go back and create more,” Addazio said. “We had a few here (Clemson), we had a few at Florida State and we need more.”

They could have the opportunity to do both of these things in the next two weeks of the schedule following the bye. UNC is struggling but I think it would count as a quality road win. The following week BC plays Virginia Tech at home, currently 19 and 20 in the polls.Captaincoop said:
Is that true? Wow.

You misspelled "bad team" that makes up for it by being horribly coached.BigMike said:
UNC is th VT is amediocreteam that does a good job closing games out, but they are not explosive at all. (just barely squeaked by both Marshall and East Carolina). BC gets a chance to catch them in a trap scenario (the week before the Critical Miami game)
Dave Stapleton said:Just a great effort yesterday. AW looks like a different back this year. He's hitting the gaps and has a burst that I didn't know he had.
Don Brown's defense is relentless. They still need some help at safety but they got consistent pressure yesterday and forced Thomas into turnovers. Thomas has the skills but made some very bad decisions under pressure.
You would think next week is a layup and then you need to find 1 more win among the final 3 to become bowl eligible.
They're going to cover.BoSoxFink said:What a joke that Vegas spread was. BC only up 20-17 at the half
berniecarbo1 said:Pretty even half. Both teams are 4/9 in 3rd down conversions, BC has about 40 more yards in total offense and lead by 3. If this was Syracuse or Maryland I would feel good. This is NMSU. This is not good at all.
Never mind cover, they may lose. They can't stop this NMSU powerhouse offenseDave Stapleton said:They're going to cover.
Dave Stapleton said:Nothing iffy with 6 wins. BC brings enough eyeballs that any bottom bowl would love to have them. Detroit is even a worst case possibility.
