Biggest crowd of the year, but shy of the 40K mark
In our weekly Guess The Attendance thread, I guessed this week's attendance would be somewhere around 39,000, as did about 23% of voters in our poll. The final figure turned out to be 39,111 according to the box score - not as bad as some had feared earlier in the week, and better than the last two Friday night games, but falling short of the 40K+ crowds that BC drew for their two biggest home games last season, USC and Clemson.
I will say that from my vantage point in the upper deck, the crowd looked good, and I thought it was actually going to end up being over 40K - making me eat my words after lamenting the sky-high ticket prices BC charged for this game.
