Clemson vs Boston College Game Preview

Why Clemson Will Win

Oh, so NOW everyone is realizing that DJ Uiagalelei is a good quarterback.

He was plagued by dropped passes in the opener against Georgia Tech and wasn’t razor-sharp against Louisiana Tech, but he’s being careful with his throws – just one pick so far – and he’s accurate enough to keep the offense moving.

Clemson leads the ACC and is ninth in the nation in third down conversion percentage. Boston College isn’t.

The Eagles have no running game whatsoever, they’re not connecting on their third down tries at all, and both of those come from an offensive line that’s giving up play after play behind the line.

The Clemson defensive line hasn’t quite been the killer expected, but it’s about to have a huge day.

Why Boston College Will Win

So what is Boston College doing right?

Just when it seemed like the season was totally lost, the passing game clicked with Phil Jurkovec completing 18-of-21 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns in the 34-33 win over Louisville.

The parts are there to wing it all over the yard, and Jurkovec and WR Zay Flowers might actually be the best offensive players on the field, but now they need to do even more.

Clemson’s pass defense got ripped up by Sam Hartman and the Wake Forest offense, and it’s allowing way too many completions and downfield plays.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

Again, there’s NO running game from Boston College to worry about.

The Eagle pass rush is okay, but it won’t be that big a problem.

The BC D has forced one takeaway so far against FBS teams. the offense will give it away multiple times, and Clemson will come up with a good balance to get through this in a win-and-move-on sort of way.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Clemson vs Boston College Game Preview

Why Boston College Will Win

The offense keeps on rolling.

The Eagles had a far better running game than it did last year, managing to push through the problems after losing star QB Phil Jurkovec by running for 275 yards against Missouri in the 41-34 win last week.

The Eagles have been ultra-efficient, ranking third in the nation in third down conversions rolling at a 57% clip, there aren’t a slew of turnovers, and the O comes away with points on almost every trip inside the red zone.

It all starts with an offensive line that’s been fantastic in pass protection and gets the job done for the ground attack. Against a Clemson defensive front that’s hit by injuries – but still great – BC should be able to generate a bit of a push.

However …

– Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Clemson Will Win

The Clemson defense is still outstanding.

It gave up a few too many passing yards – 243 – in the overtime loss to NC State after allowing 212 to Georgia Tech. The run defense has done enough to get the job done.

Even with the injuries to Bryan Bresee – who’s out for the year with a torn ACL – and with Tyler Davis out with a torn bicep, the defensive front is still going to be a rock. Even with all of the problems, Clemson still leads the ACC in scoring D allowing 12 points per game.

Eventually the Clemson offense will work. There’s too much talent, too much firepower, and too many good parts to be this mediocre. Boston College doesn’t generate enough consistent pressure to matter.

What’s Going To Happen

Boston College had three easy games to warm up, and it passed the big test last week in the win over Missouri.

Can Clemson put together an air-tight, efficient performance after failing to do that on both sides of the ball against the first three FBS teams on the schedule?

Nope.

The Tiger offense will continue to stall and sputter, but the defense will once again save the day. Boston College will keep Clemson to under 300 yards, but DJ Uiagalelei will grind out two scoring drives to survive and get out with a tough win.

Why Boston College Will Win

Well hello, running game.

Boston College relied on Phil Jurkovec and the high-powered passing attack int href first five games, and then it committed to the ground game against Georgia Tech – and it worked.

It tried to run against Duke to start the season, and noting happened. It tried against Pitt, and it really didn’t happen. For the first time all year, BC finally hit the 100-yard mark, cranking out 264 yards.

Clemson’s defense has been incredible, but it’s possible to run a little bit against this group. BC won’t do that – it’ll try winning with Jurkovec – but at least it can give it a shot.

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Clemson Will Win

Here comes the pass rush.

Boston College hasn’t been great in pass protection – it’s part of the reason why the rushing numbers aren’t any good – and it allows way too many plays behind the line.

Clemson didn’t do much to get to the quarterback against Syracuse last week – bizarre, considering the Orange O line is totally miserable – but it’s been great at flying into the backfield on a regular basis. Get to Jurkovec, and it’s going to get ugly.

The Clemson offense continues to be a machine, having few problems scoring when it needs and wants to. There hasn’t been any stress, and that’s because the team is hitting on the big plays early on and coasting from there.

Except against Syracuse.

The Orange kept this interesting in the second half, but when it was time to end it, Clemson did.

What’s Going To Happen

And now everything just took a big turn with Trevor Lawrence testing positive for the coronavirus.

Clemson has a future superstar in DJ Uiagalelei waiting and ready to go, and the football team should be fine, but obviously the dynamic changes.

In a right-offense-right-coaching-right-quarterback-right-day sort of way, Boston College has a shot to pull off something quirky.

Clemson isn’t close to being a program that looks ahead, but the Notre Dame showdown is up next, and BC has enough of a passing attack to make this scary. No one has totally blowtorched the Eagle secondary, but generating the big plays down the field hasn’t been a problem.

One burst of first half points will do it for Clemson and the running game will take over, but it’ll still be at least a wee bit of a game in the third quarter.
