There is zero accountability for this either

How many times has BC lost games like HC just lost?

They deserved to lose. If Sluwka doesn’t stumble just a touch they are down 35-31. As for the fumble, they actually defended on that play well—only decent defensive play of the series.
Florida State could hang 80 on us next weekend.

Ignoring everything else, this is the thing that set me off. BC's offense has done well, defense not so much. A first down would have finished the game right there since HC has only 1 Time Out left. A punt would net roughly 30 yards. And then insult to injury, the 15-yard penalty on the play. Now the game will be on their line with their best players -- the QB, RB and top WR -- on the field instead of them watching from the sidelines.
Had they punted on the early 4th down in their own territory I would have hated that too since punting would have likely given HC the final possession while going for it either would keep the ball and kill most of the clock or in worst case still would likely ensure one more possession for BC before the end of the game. I'm amazed that they actually went for it there.
Now the weather delay has already gone so long it's killed a lot of the intensity of the game. Regardless, win or lose, that felt like a really bad decision.

Holy Cross is a quality FBS team. Their offense has a good OL, the receiver is legit, and the 5th year QB is excellent. As I type this, App State is giving UNC a game.
Castellanos looks real. He's got an arm to go along with the feet and made some pretty special throws (missed some too). The penalty was dumb (and he could have got hit with an even worse one.) For now, I'm calling it swag and I like having a QB with swag on an offense that was dreadful last year. If he keeps making dumb penalties, though, then it becomes immaturity and a whole different story.
The defense is a work in progress. The pass rush actually wasn't terrible, but we obviously don't have enough LB speed to clean up mobile QB's. The secondary (supposedly Hafley's strength) looked pretty good, but too many missed tackles.
Obviously the 10 penalties was not good, and some were pretty bad. That has to be cleaned up. The strangest one was the out of bounds play on the undressed bench guy. Not sure what he did. The worst was Okpala's for hands to the facemask which nullified a 3rd and 22, but it looked more like an accident than a dumb play.
The OL still needs time to gel, and its hard to say what today meant against an undersized HC DL, but I like what I saw and Robichaux looked good.
We probably get waxed by FSU, but hopefully we show out better than expected as the team comes together.
