Go Eagles!

dillon didn't make the trip

Boston College will apparently be without its top offensive player for Saturday's game at No. 23 NC State.

According to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, running back AJ Dillon did not travel with the team to Raleigh, North Carolina. Dillon sustained an ankle injury during the third quarter of Boston College's 45-35 win over Temple last week. As of Wednesday, coach Steve Addazio said that Dillon was considered a game-time decision.

Boston College has not yet announced whether Dillon will play against the Wolfpack.

Losing Dillon would be a big blow for the Eagles' offense. The sophomore is third in the nation with 652 yards on the ground. If Dillon is indeed out, Boston College will likely use a committee approach to fill in the gaps.

where did I put my apple picking shoes

[Dick Rosenthal]

Going to head over to Burning Tree and play 18. Better way to spend the day.

[Los]

The optimist in me says this will force Daz and Loeffler to be more creative with playcalling and open up the offense a bit more.

The realist in me says we’re fucked.

[hansen]

My prediction:

OL steps up today & Levy, Glines, Bailey are enough to move the ball.
Brown is serviceable.
Ray and Allan have monster games.
Defense improves their tackling.
Loeffler actually calls plays.

BC wins

shut up Hansen

[MilitantEagle]

I blame Dillon’s injury on Daz and Loefler for overuse and predictability.

[mod6A]

I still like BC football.

Agreed. The number of carries he had in the second half was criminal.

Give Daz credit here. He was savvy enough to mislead that AJ “looked good” in limited practice.

[hansen]

BC wins the toss and elects to get the ball
Interesting decision

you can say that every game

you run a guy 40x per game into 9 man fronts, it's inevitable

[Supahfan99]

I like Glines.

edit - Brown just overthrew an easy TD.

[eepstein0]

Brown has to hit Smith there

[claver2010]

new faces in on D, mcduffie at LB and a white kid at safety where;s dennis?

edit: seems like they moved dennis down to nickel corner

[Darren6]

Denis is suspended for a half for the ejection last game, I believe

[claver2010]

the vanilla front 7 is not a good strategy

[hansen]

Need to hold them to 3 here

[eepstein0]

The DTs on this team are horrid.

[RegalBCeagle]

This team is not very good. Our D has been much worse than I had expected.

Not your best work

[Los]

First time AB has been mobile all season. I want to see a little more of that.

[eepstein0]

How is that not PI?

[claver2010]

that kid got rocked

[Los]

Special teams spark?

[MaxxPower325]

That second down call is why we will lose.

[Supahfan99]

Special teams spark?

LOL No. We've still got bad coaches and a bad QB.

[eepstein0]

If fairness to AB, Sweeney just ran a bad route there
