There’s no other way to say it: This game was a collapse of monumental proportions for Boston College. And it was not remotely as close as the 30-13 final score would indicate.
After smashing through the Top 25 Glass Ceiling last week with a 3-0 start, everything that could go badly, did go badly against Purdue. Except special teams! Those were actually fine. Go figure. But all the hype surrounding the program has been promptly wasted away with this game. It wasn’t that we lost — it’s that we were so thoroughly non-competitive all the way back to when we lost the opening coin toss.
