After opening the season with two crucial games in three weeks, Boston College hits a relatively easy skid in the middle of the season. While opponents pick up conference play and start battling in those tough, rugged physical games, the schedule eases for the Eagles with back-to-back games against lower-level competition.
It’s a good way to ease the grind before the team has to play Clemson in a nationally-televised game on Friday, October 7th. Prior to the Wagner game, the coaches will have three games of data on which to base decision-making, but they won’t really have a chance to work on mitigation in game situations.
