Boston College continues the ‘ramp up’ of its schedule this week with a matchup on Saturday against Temple.
Week 1 went pretty smoothly, with no real complaints after a 51-0 win.
Week 2? A little more treacherous, with a 45-28 win that heightened fears about some flaws on defense, featured some sloppy penalties, and also saw BC face health concerns with Phil Jurkovec and Zay Flowers knocked out of the game.
Week 3 will require a step up in performance, as Temple, while no powerhouse, is a step up in quality from UMass. Temple is #119 in the Sagarin rankings, compared to #196 for UMass and #244 for Colgate.
