The Boston College secondary took a massive step up last season, a continued upward progress since Hafley’s arrival. After being ranked 122nd in pass defense before he came to the scene, 2021 resulted in the unit developing into the third best group in the nation in terms of passing yards allowed per game. Allowing only 173.5 passing yards per game, the Eagles was top in the ACC as well. They may have benefited from teams electing to run, but this unit is for real and likely (and fittingly) the best position group the Eagles boast.
