Guess we can feel BC pain with the OLine. We know what it’s like to not have the same five week end week out.

All I know is we struggled against them the last 2 years and this game between 2 huge games is a recipe for disaster if we don't play well.

Except they really stink this year? They lost to Rutgers? C’mon? Rutgers? This team is so much better than last years team and the year before was tough. Trevor was out from COVID and the ND game was lurking the following week. It was the ultimate trap game and Clemson played that way in the first half. The second half was amazing however the officials did their best to keep BC in that game.

I’ve never been one to criticize the officials, if this year I think we’ve been “hosed” by bad calls way more than our share. I hope this is a clean game from start to finish, and I hope we stomp BC in the process. Go Tigers!!!

1. They aren’t located in Boston proper, but in Chestnut Hill.***

while in grad school lived in newton,just down the road from the bc campus.drove by their stadium many times on the way downtown.returned years later(1982 or '83)for the game that flutie wound up beating us.went back for another(spiller's 1st yr?)and we lost that one.came to the conclusion that i was a jinx,so i won't go to another there and be reponsible for a loss.however,i've been to several DV games over the years,and we've won all of them.unfortunately just live too far away to go very often.thankfully get to see all games on tv.

I understand the jinx part … :-)

I went to a game at Georgia Tech in 2007 … we were favored, but lost. On the way out of the stadium I got a phone call from my youngest daughter and she said, “don’t worry, nobody is hurt, but I totaled the car.” Those definitely are not the words you want to hear.
The next game GaTech game I went to in Atlanta was in 2014 when Deshaun tore his ACL and Cole Stout threw 2 pick-6s and we lost by 22 points.
So… even though I could have easily gone to this year’s game at Mercedes-Benz, I opted out… and I’ll never go to another GaTech game in Atlanta.

1. They are horrible on offense. They have one weapon, Flowers. And, the OL is so horrible at protecting the QB that Flowers doesn't have time to run any deep route.
2. Their defense is only slightly better than their offense.

Unless we give up the short passes all game, sigh, again. But the blitzes were not as obvious last week so they didn't throw into them as much, or Leary sucks.
