We’re just two weeks in to the Boston College football season, and the mood is gloomy.
A disappointing home loss to Rutgers, followed by a poor offensive outing at Virginia Tech in which many of week 1’s issues seemed to get worse, and now the Eagles are 0-2, and a game against FCS Maine this weekend will provide no salve and answer no questions about whether this team is capable of bouncing back and at least cobbling together a bowl season.
There’s not much use in previewing or breaking down the Maine game; unlike in past seasons when the FCS game was the opener, this is no tune-up and first look; this is merely a delay in our ability to analyze how BC’s offensive line and running game may be able to find some improvement against quality opponents with Florida State looming in two weeks.
