Midseason State of the Boston College Defense

Six games in and six more to go (at minimum). After a relatively positive review of the offense the other day, we move on to the defense. There’s no way of really sugarcoating it, Jeff Hafley’s defense has left a lot to be desired.

Opponents are scoring 31.7 points per game against. Passing, running it really hasn’t mattered. Opponents are scoring at will with explosive play after explosive play, BC is rated 98th with a 56.1% stop rate, a measurement indicating well, the collective stops defenses make, about on par with last season. Not good.
