Blowing out the Zoo gets you votes in the polls?Up to 28 in the AP poll, and 31 in the coaches. Holy Cross is a joke, but if they beat Wake in two weeks they probably crack the top 25 for the first time in too long.

Two words: Bowl Eligibility. Getting enough wins to get a bowl game is good for job security.He would rather play UMass and Holy Cross than go out and challenge national opponents. At least play an FCS opponent that gives out a full complement of scholarships. This is NOT a rivalry anymore. There is a reason they don’t play each other in football until Bates set up this shitstorm.
I think this game was good. The problem is we also play UMass and Temple in the same year.Play one and only one of these games and it's fine.This is a stupid game. The starting MLB for the Cross is playing special teams and gets blown up on the kickoff. BC is scoring at will.
Who in their right mind thinks this is a “good for New England game”? Oh ya, Dazzler.

I hope MJ has the presence of mind to pay HC to walk away from the game in 2 years. This does not excite the fan base. It sets the program back actually. Enough!
Agreed, which would be a huge help. Looks like Winston-Salem may see tropical storm level winds on Thursday.I'm no so sure this game is played at Wake on Thursday.
Probably have to decide at some point today. BC can't go down there if the game is not going to happen.Agreed, which would be a huge help. Looks like Winston-Salem may see tropical storm level winds on Thursday.
I presume they know what they're doing but moving the game up 2 hours doesn't seem like it makes a whole lot of sense. It's going to be a mess on Thursday and nobody will be going to that game.
Nobody even goes to good weather Saturday games at Wake. It's going to be a mess on Thursday and nobody will be going to that game.
I bet they move the game up even earlier on Thursday especially if the storm moves any further north."The league office, Boston College and Wake Forest will continue to monitor Hurricane Florence and make future adjustments as necessary."
Yes, they charter.When a program like BC travels, do they charter planes; therefore, they can get out of there at 10 or 11 PM? From what I can gather, they should be ok.
Good news, he doesn't have to be good when guys are wide open by 5-10 yards on bombs off play action every other drive because of Dillon, just serviceable enough.Brown is also not a good passer. Maybe we’re just spoiled with Brady but he almost missed the two TD passes to wide open guys and has thrown so many passes to wrong shoulders leading WRs to bad places. Luckily Wake sucks.
I think they can be 7-0 going into Miami. I also think that they can beat FSU on the road. Clemson will be tough, but it will be at home and could be the ABC night game if Clemson is undefeated and say BC is 8-1. Night games at BC can be interesting.Next 5 games are very winnable. We obviously won’t win them all but 4-1 is do-able. We’ll then lose all 3 of the Tech, Clemson, FSU gauntlet. And then we need to paste Syracuse at home. 8-4 sounds about right to me.
Yeah FSU is just abysmal this year. I am sure they will improve some, but it is a complete mess in Tallahassee.I think they can be 7-0 going into Miami.

The my need to improve special teams. 14 points on the punt team.I can't believe they gave up 34 points to that crap team
that's 35 points in 3 weeks, right?The my need to improve special teams. 14 points on the punt team.
Amen to that. On top of the punting debacles, I thought for sure the missed XP was going to haunt them.Imagine how good BC would be with better special teams and in-game coaching...
If the other teams play the run as much as WF did, Brown will be just fine. Takes exceptional talent in the defensive backfield to stay with everyone 1 on 1.Amen to that. On top of the punting debacles, I thought for sure the missed XP was going to haunt them.
As for the offense, Brown is far from perfect, but way better than what we've gotten from QB the past few years. Would love to see them throw a screen pass to Dillon every once in a while . . .
And we actually have some real athletes at WR for a change.If the other teams play the run as much as WF did, Brown will be just fine. Takes exceptional talent in the defensive backfield to stay with everyone 1 on 1.
Yup. It’ll never change. Too bad because Brown/Dillon is about as good of a QB/RB combo that we could ever expect to have.When Daz gets the hell out of the way and they're not stupid level predictable on offense, he's built the talent to be a very good team. God do I wish they would give him the Dabo Swinney treatment. Like literally his headset should have elevator music in it during games. He's roster built very well but his feel for in game management is so freaking bad....
Add in Smith/White at WR and Sweeney at TE and they are legit talented.Yup. It’ll never change. Too bad because Brown/Dillon is about as good of a QB/RB combo that we could ever expect to have.
