Bad news for the Boston College football team ahead of its game vs. No. 18 Wake Forest on Saturday in Chestnut Hill.

BC head coach Jeff Hafley announced Wednesday that the Eagles are dealing with a flu outbreak and 15 players missed practice Wednesday because of the flu.

Hafley did not reveal who specifically is ill, but said they all tested negative for COVID-19, and he is hopeful they will be able to play against the Demon Deacons.

Obviously, this situation does not help Clemson, which needs BC to beat Wake Forest on Saturday — as well as North Carolina to beat No. 20 NC State on Friday in Raleigh — in order to win the Atlantic Division.
