Boston College Football opened ACC play Thursday night on the road against Wake Forest. For a BC team that is eyeing national relevance — and a national ranking — for the first time in a decade, this was a game the Eagles absolutely had to have. A loss to Wake Forest probably would have dropped BC out of the running for a national ranking for the rest of the season. A win would set the Eagles up for the possibility of a deep undefeated run and a climb up the rankings. In past years, this set up would only prove to be the perfect week for heartbreak.
