College football experts all delivered preseason predictions about Boston College's potential superstar weapon. They all considered him a front-runner for major awards and all talked about how the ceiling of the season rested on his ability to create explosive plays. They had a near-unanimous opinion that even the Heisman Trophy was a possibility for his potential performance.
All of those experts proved right on Thursday night. Boston College does have that player. They just maybe didn't expect it to be quarterback Anthony Brown.
The redshirt sophomore quarterback went 16-of-25 passing for 304 yards and five touchdowns on Thursday, leading the Eagles past Wake Forest, 41-34, at BB&T Field.
