Well, that wasn’t fun. Boston College’s offense struggled mightily again on Saturday, putting up 6 points (two field goals) in a 21-6 loss to Syracuse.
With that performance, BC now has just 40 points in 4 ACC games -10 per game - a level of futility that is distressingly close to the 2015 team, which scored 73 points in 8 games, for a grand total of about 9.12 points per game.
So things aren’t great, and as was made pretty clear on Saturday, they’re not great well beyond the Phil Jurkovec-sized hole at the quarterback position. BC’s offensive line continues to struggle, the defense remains prone to giving up big plays despite their own big play ability, and the offense was unable to punch in multiple opportunities inside Syracuse’s red zone, including getting stuffed from the 1 yard line on 3rd and 4th down in the fourth quarter.
