W - Sep. 1 - @ N. Illinois - Wade draws the start. BC practices the throw game and the no huddle and jumps out to an early 24-7 lead. Turtles ensue, but NIU doesn't have the firepower to catch up. Final - BC 31, NIU 14.
W - Sep. 9 - Wake Forest - Team jacked for first home game. Daz decides to crack the rock. Low scoring affair, Dillon breaks out with a long run to put it away. BC 24, Wake 14.
W - Sep. 16 - Notre Dame - Team riding high at 2-0 with ND at home. Wimbush still feeling the growing pains, under a ton of pressure from the BC pass rush, decides the game with a couple of ill-timed picks, one for 6. BC 31, ND 21
L - Sep. 23 - @ Clemson - Offense sputters against a top D. D keeps them in the game early as Clemson goes conservative with a new QB. Won't matter late as Clemson's DLine dominates an improved BC OLine and shuts down the running game. Clemson 28, BC 6.
W - Sep. 30 - C. Michigan - BC rounds out the MAC schedule with a conference clinching blowout. Throw game returns after an absence in Death Valley. BC 35, CMU 9.
W - Oct. 7 - VT - Second most important game of the season, at home. VPI limps in after a loss in a huge game at Lane versus Clemson. BC takes advantage and pounds the rock. Line looks good, Wade not asked to do much. Tight one, down to the wire. BC 24, VPI 21
L - Oct. 14 - @ Louisville - At 5-1, BC has a lot to play for at Louisville and in the top 25 for the first and only time this season. Won't matter. They a do a better job controlling Heisman, but not good enough. L'Ville 31, BC 14
W - Oct. 21 - @ UVa - BC bounces back on the road in a tougher game than it should be. Wade struggles, but the D clinches the win late. BC 17, UVA 13.
L - Oct. 27 - FSU - Undefeated FSU arrives at the Heights to just out of the polls BC under the lights in prime time. FSU makes a point, BC gets some late garbage. FSU 38, BC 17
W - Nov. 11 - NCST - NCSU at home is a win. BC 24, NCSU 14
W - Nov. 18 - UConn - Blowout city - BC 42, UConn 6
L - Nov. 25 - @ Syracuse - Biggest game of the year. 8-3 BC heads to the Dome to determine whether they end up with an excellent record or go 8-5. Cuse 21, BC 17
NOT
L - Music City Bowl vs. Tennessee - UT 35, BC 28

4th ANNUAL PRESEASON PREDICTION CONTEST

I kind of dropped the ball on the final standings last year. I'll try to update that before the season starts so we can get some cumulative standings for the first 3 years.

Anyway, here we go again!

W - Sep. 1 - @ N. Illinois
L - Sep. 9 - Wake Forest - Wake stacks the box on 1st and 2nd downs and the OL can't get things going. Brown has promising moments, but throws 3 INT's and looks flustered at times against an ACC defense.
L - Sep. 16 - Notre Dame - Press starts questioning Brown at QB. Daz becomes a thin skinned ass in the lead-up to the game. Defense plays well, but offense just can't going.
L - Sep. 23 - @ Clemson - Wade gets the start. Clemson's D makes BC's OL look bad. Wade gets injured.
W - Sep. 30 - C. Michigan - Brown fired up to take the reins again. Cupcake victory.
W - Oct. 7 - VT - Loeffler empties the bag of tricks and scores just enough at home, and a strong defensive effort decides the day. Brown has some highlight reel type plays. Daz emphasizes that it takes 5 full years to rebuild and starts talking about next year, when we're "rebuilt."
L - Oct. 14 - @ Louisville - Ugly
W - Oct. 21 - @ UVa - This feels like Wake in '15. Just ugly. But the defense absolutely shuts down UVa in the 2nd half, and BC barely pulls it out on a last minute FG.
L - Oct. 27 - FSU - Embarrassing
W - Nov. 11 - NCST - OL starts coming together. Defense stymies NCST and BC wins a gutsy one.
W - Nov. 18 - UConn - UConn is just bad at football. BC fans actually have fun at Fenway Park.
W - Nov. 25 - @ Syracuse - BC is dominant in this one on all sides of the ball. Offense looks like 1st half of the '16 Maryland game, defense is utterly dominant, and BC cruises to a fun end to the season. Brown's coming out party.

W - Toilet Bowl vs. Temple - BC just looks good and this is a fun one. OL looks good, Brown looks good, Landry has a huge day. Some optimism for 2018, but of course we still have yet to beat anyone with a pulse under Daz since USC...

Final Record: 8-5 (4-4)

You changed the prediction after the first game?

My edited prediction will come in a couple weeks. Stay tuned.

I definitely would change my prediction today based on what I saw Friday night. We may be a few seasons away from that 8 win season, although it is coming eventually.

you have been involved in the program long enough to know that other than 2 blips during the jags years, this team will always underperform.

assuming that we would have both a quarterback and an o-line is your own fault for being dumb. even if you had some hope after the spring game, once you heard about the o-line platooning and the inability to name a starting quartback you should have assumed another bowl pick'em season without bc involved

this fucking clown can't get fired fast enough for me

This is some serious millenial move-the-goalposts bullshit. Its hard to predict the specific set of stupidities that will result in this coach not winning more than six games, but its easy to predict that this coach isn't going to win more than six games. Stop the ballwashing and stand by your prediction!

If Wade were the QB, I would stand by my prediction, despite the OLine. After the Spring game, I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell that Brown would get the nod. I think the line's problems are fixable and maskable with a decent passer and a better RB. All of that assumes Wade would be a decent passer in real games, and that eventually Hilliman would get less reps, but that's what my prediction was based upon.

If your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle.

There's still time to adjust your picks for the Lambert Trophy Prediction Contest.

mod6A {l Wrote}:If your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle.

True.

I'd like to revise my predictions: we're going to lose to UConn.

Edited for Brown at QB, then edited again for Wade at QB.

Wake Forest was about as good as NIU. Bad. Wooford is northeast high school football bad.
