Boston College Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Eagles miss from the ACC slate?

The Eagles miss Clemson. Start with that, and everything else is fine.

Every ACC team misses five other teams, and now playing NC State and North Carolina is a massive plus, too. It might seem like not playing Duke is a bad break, but that’s a potentially loaded team returning, and not playing Wake Forest is a good thing.

There’s no complaining about the teams off the schedule, and to make things even better …

Boston College Football Schedule What Really Matters

There aren’t two road games two weeks in a row. Army and Georgia Tech are back-to-back, but they’re spread out by a week off.

Overall, the road games are spread out over the season after starting out with three home games to open things up, and there’s no dealing with three road games in four weeks like several other ACC teams do.

Best of all …

Boston College Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

There are seven games against teams that didn’t go bowling last season, and UConn, Louisville, and Syracuse are more than manageable games against teams that got the extra date.

Basically, there’s no using the schedule as an excuse if this is another bad season.

There should be at least three wins built in if the Eagles are just okay – Northern Illinois, Holy Cross, and UConn – and at Army, at Georgia Tech, and Virginia need to account for at least two wins.

Get to six wins with this slate, Boston College.

Why Clemson Will Win

Boston College just doesn’t score enough.

It’s not shooting all that poorly lately, but it doesn’t have a whole lot of firepower to keep up any sort of pace.

The threes were falling in the win over Notre Dame, but there’s nothing to rely on from the outside. Worse yet, the defense isn’t strong enough to manufacture points when the offense isn’t on.

Yeah, the D will force takeaways, but it doesn’t transition the big plays into scores. All of that is a problem against a vice grip of a Clemson defense that’s the best in the ACC in field goal D. It’s okay at stoping the three, but overall its terrific at keeping teams from getting into any sort of a rhythm.

Why Boston College Will Win

Granted, part of it is Clemson’s ability to shoot, but there aren’t any second chance points happening in bunches. The team doesn’t do enough on the defensive glass, that great defense doesn’t force a lot of takeaways, and Boston College has to take advantage of both of that.

It has to end every Tiger possession fast. It has to move the ball around efficiently, and it has to eat up time. There isn’t the scoring pop to get up and down the floor with enough big things to matter, so this has to be about grinding out every possession.

Virginia Tech almost pulled off a win at Clemson by keeping the score lose, but …

What’s Going To Happen

It will take one good Clemson run to put this away. The defense will take care of the rest.

Boston College will struggle to hit 40% from the floor, there won’t be anything happening from three to keep up, and when things on both sides start to bog down, Clemson will hit its free throws, and Boston College won’t.

Why Syracuse Will Win

The Orange defensive line decimated by injuries gets a break this week – even though it’s been decent at doing its job lately.

The D allowed over 100 yards on the ground just once in the last four games and won’t have any issues this week against a Boston College offense that can’t/doesn’t run. It hasn’t hit 80 yards in the last six games, and now all the pressure is on the passing attack that’s hit-or-miss.

Emmett Morehead was on with 330 passing yards against both Duke and NC State, and then it all collapsed in the blowout loss to Notre Dame. For all of the team’s problems lately, the Syracuse pass defense has been terrific – throwing out last week’s loss to the pass-happy Wake Forest attack.

Long-winded thing short – the Orange D should be fine. But …

– Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why Boston College Will Win

The Syracuse offense has stalled.

It couldn’t get much of anything going against Pitt, crashed against Florida State, and last week against the Demon Deacons marked the first time since mid-October the team gained more than 300 yards.

The passing game has been off. getting Sean Tucker and the ground game working has been a problem, and Boston College needs to be able to rise up and stop all of it.

The Eagles are 0-7 when allowing offenses to connect on 56% of their passes, and they’re 3-1 when they hold down opposing passing attacks. Syracuse has hit 56% or fewer of their throws in each of the last four games, but …

– Week 13 College Football Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Syracuse doesn’t have too many problems with teams that can throw – the Wake Forest game last week aside. It has problems with teams that can run.

It’s 0-5 this season when allowing more than 150 yards on the ground and 6-0 when it allows fewer. Boston College has yet to run for 150 yards this season.

Boston College vs NC State Game Preview

Why Boston College Will Win

The Eagles at least played tough against Duke. They lost 38-31, but the passing game worked like it’s supposed to and it was the type of good, competitive battle they were supposed to be in all season long.

NC State might be in the hunt for a ten-win season and they might be fighting through some rough patches, but they struggled way too much in a 22-21 home win over a bad Virginia Tech, they’re not running well, and they’re not cranking up the offense.

BC might not be Wake Forest through the air, but it should be able to push for well over 250 yards and closer to 300, and …

– CFP Rankings: Think, Know, Believe

Why NC State Will Win

NC State isn’t pretty, but it’s effective.

Yeah, it struggled against Virginia Tech – and won. It struggled against East Carolina to start the season, Wake Forest last week, and had a fight against Florida State and won all three games.

More steady than sensational, it helped NC State to be able to limit the turnovers and mistakes over the last few games. It hasn’t turned the ball over in three weeks and has only turned the ball over multiple times twice so far this season.

It’s this simple; if Boston College doesn’t come up with at least three takeaways, it has no chance of winning this.

Boston College isn’t coming up with at least three takeaways. It only did that once all season, and that was against Maine.

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

The NC State defense has been amazing at bending without doing a lot of breaking. Boston College will come up with a few yards through the air, but it’s not going to convert drives into points.

Forget about any Eagle running game against this defense – be shocked if there are more than 60 yards. It’s NC State – it’s not going to run away and hide with this – but it’ll be in control.

Duke vs Boston College Game Preview

Why Duke Will Win

Boston College is having problems.

It’s one thing to not be able to do much against Clemson or Wake Forest, but getting thumped by UConn last week 13-3 was a low point.

What’s going wrong? The running game is easily the worst in the country, and the passing attack that’s supposed to make everything go isn’t doing enough to pick up the slack.

There are way too many turnovers, there aren’t enough takeaways, now the O is dealing with a Duke defense that hasn’t been too bad.

Boston College is 2-0 when throwing for 300 yards or more and 0-6 when it doesn’t. But …

– Breaking down the CFP Top 25 rankings

Why Boston College Will Win

The passing game should click. It might not go off for a bazillion yards, but it should get to at least 250 without a problem and it might just hit the 300-yard mark.

How did the struggling Eagles get by Louisville a few weeks ago? The passing game was good, the defense came up with one of its better performances of the season, and there’s a shot it goes off – Duke’s pass rush is just okay.

Duke needs its ground game to do well. It lost to North Carolina in a wild shootout – the rushing attack came close to 300 yards – but it won the other five games when it came up with 170 yards or more. Boston College has only allowed that many twice.

Here’s the problem …

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Turnvers.

Boston College is -8 in turnover margin, Duke is +14.

Duke doesn’t have a ton of talent, but the offense is good enough to get by however it needs to, and the takeaways are coming in bunches with eight against Miami last week and two more in every game but two.

Boston College doesn’t force enough takeaways to matter.
