I didn't even realize that CBSSN was a channel but looks like 94 on Fios in my town.

The offense is a little choppy but BC wins 24-10.

This is a trickier spot for BC than we're probably giving them credit for.

[BCSUPERFAN22]

The line is up to 4, still don't see it being this close

[CowboyEagle22]

I wonder how many BC people made the trip. I was invited by some friends going to the game. There was a donor event of some sort last night. I took a pass as I hate traveling around holidays. That and the squeeze from the new AD is a little aggressive. I'll feel more generous if the product shows some improvement.

Supposedly Brown is going to start. He'll be nervous and make some mistakes, but I think we have enough muscle to win even if he is shaky.

I would be shocked if this were the case.

And I'd imagine about 10 BC fans made the trip.

Not sure if there will be a rotation or not but Brown is def starting

Today's Herald speculates that Brown will get the start, but they are not claiming to have a source that told them so.

Well this post was helpful

"You have to take your lumps with a new starting QB. Urban and I always used to say that 'for every rookie you are starting, you will have a loss... but, when it is the QB, you can count on 4.' Can't have those picks, but we'll work on it and hopefully the speed of the game will start to slow down for him as the season goes on. Much like last year where it took time for us to really learn how to win."

I just texted someone that they'll lose if they do this stupid 2 QB idea. Pick 1 and play 1 you just had 6 months to decide.

"You know... That's a heck of a team over there. They will make a run for their conference title. You know, the MAC winner last year was in a big time bowl. So, NIU is gunning for that. Also... Tough place to play. Not many Power 5 programs would agree to play them at their place. When they get a big program, it's like their SuperBowl. So... we got their best shot. But, that's why we schedule these tough out of conference games. You got to learn from them and get better for next week. We're a young team where players are still learning to play wih each other. It's a process. But, last year, we took our lumps early and then finished the year with 4 straight wins."

Bring back the 2ndQ Experiment!

[bcshater]

Bring back the 2ndQ Experiment!

Was this the TOB experiment with the 2nd string QB taking the snaps at the end of the half? Play one guy and stick with him.

Need to search and see if I have this game at the lake house I am at in Maine.

chuckling... chuckling...

You missed Walker dropping a 50 yard TD haha

[claver2010]

there have been actual holes for jon so that's nice

[eepstein0]

Gameplan is better. Execution of it stinks

[EagleNYC]

I really missed the unique anger of an unnecessary penalty that ruins everything.
