One month ago this morning, Boston College football was 4-6, coming off yet another brutal loss to Florida State, and with just about everything feeling lost: BC had lost some recruiting battles and had a top recruit flip to Michigan.
Make no mistake: the problems that existed with this team and this administration a month ago still exist now. Everyone who watched this team closely this season knows that the progress reflected in the improvement from 3-9 to 6-6 was in many ways illusory.
But in college football, perception is reality. And the perception of the program now seems to point to some semblance of momentum.
