Boston College football has not had a good season overall, but the defense has done their job in keeping BC in almost every game. Today Eagles defensive coordinator Don Brown was rewarded when he was nominated for the Broyles Award given to the coordinator of the year.
Brown's defense has been stellar, ranking 1st in the country in terms of scoring, rushing, and 13th in passing. His defenses held FSU to 14 points, Notre Dame to 19, and Duke to 9. Even with the scores allowed, BC's defense was put in difficult situations time and time again, and continually bailed out the offense.
