I just wish we beat Delaware and Syracuse...now what game is listed as a loss now on our schedule?

Our defense will have trouble stopping Duke. We better hope for a nor’easter and 60 mph winds.

 

[Nameless]

man... is there a chance to get to 10 wins including the bowl???
I simply don't see us beating duke, unfortunately, but man if we can run the table otherwise, and then pull of the bowl win, how good would 10-3 look in our resume?

oh, to hope.

Duke will be tough but I don't count us out against them. We've been in every game this year and we will be at home. If we keep playing this way on offense I can't wait for that game

 

[3rdbass]

I can't help but think if we let Joe scramble weeks 1-3 we are undefeated.

Did you that cut move by Joe F. against that BC defender? I didn't think he had it in him. He really worked on this part of his game in the offseason.

 

[gsmooth]

Where be the Fagnano haters now? Dang. He was solid today.

Don't you know we should give Nick Evers the starting job for the rest of the season.

2. Joey F

End of the list.

Great gameplan by Sammis. I was really impressed with the pass protection. They OL lost 2 tackles last year and now look better than ever.

I would have laughed at the thought of JF in the NFL only a few weeks ago. But now that he is using his legs, he looks like a complete QB. He is making good decisions. I see him as an UFA now.

Bell knew how good JF would be with another year…smart move by him to use his last year of eligibility to play with a QB that he knows. Both are reaping the benefits of that decision. Other WRs and TEs with a nice game also. Not sure I remember one drop?

Edwards and Rosa played tough and were solid.

Defense is still shaky…but BC has a pretty good offense. It still feels like it’s too easy to run on this 3-3-5. But…linebackers are getting better every week. Parham had 14 tackles and 2 sacks…oh my.

Can’t wait to watch this team play their last 5 games. Let’s hope they came out of this healthy and will be ready to battle a decent Rice team coming off a bye week on the road.

 

[Waquoit]

Brings our record vs BCU to 2-13-2, but 2-1 in last three games.

I know I don't live in the past.

 

[BlueWolf25]

After the Delaware loss, I definitely didn’t think we would be sitting at 5-2. This team is finding their groove and Joe is a big reason why. My goodness he’s been outstanding these last two games

 

[Kembafan]

Where be the Fagnano haters now? Dang. He was solid today.

I dunno. He should be benched for some guy who we think maybe might someday be good.

(Just for the ppl who can’t read irony, I am joking. Joey Fantastic is making himself into a husky legend.)

Love the win, no matter who it is. Beating BC anytime is awesome, and this was awesome.

The team that kept us out of the ACC years ago gets some of what they deserve, and I'm glad Leahy got to see it.

from the bc interruption chat

"If the ACC were smart, they would dump Boston College and add UConn. UConn is much more serious about athletics than is BC. If UConn were in the ACC and BC were not, UConn would be a competitive ACC team within a couple of years, and their basketball program is obviously light years ahead of that of Boston College. Their women’s basketball program is nationally recognized, and even their baseball program is better than BC’s. BC is not serious about any sport other than probably hockey - and even in hockey, UConn is now competitive with them. Also, UConn is a state flagship University, and as such is much better positioned to be more of a player in FBS then is a relatively small private Catholic school like Boston College."

And I can tell you by living in Boston, Boston College is not even a blip of attention on the sports radar.

Let's give the receivers and O-line some credit. Or BC defense just sucked. We had all day to pass and receivers were wide open all day. It was pitch and catch all day.

Probably true with any city with professional teams.

I’m sure we will dial up something great. Look how well Brock did with 2 weeks of prep…

but but but - one of their slogans plastered everywhere is "for boston"??
BC simping for boston

We need play makers on defense badly. I think even the worst Edsall years at least had some playmakers

 

[ZooCougar]

NickDanger, you don't know about BCU? A few years ago maybe more of a decade. Someone said that he's going to Boston College University, it is still used..

It was actually the ACC. They didn’t even know the right name of the school they were inviting. They were an afterthought.

 

[UCan3]

I was there... BC had great stadium, polite fans but we took over their stadium- felt like a home game.

Their stadium fans lacked that football energy - felt like most came to socialize -which was fine for us!

that wasn't true for UConn fans..z

just remember when they visit us next year -their fans mostly friendly and hospitable

 

[gsmooth]

Don't think that's always the case. NYC loved St. John's last year and takes notice when UConn basketball does well. Seattle loves University of Washington football and LA loves USC football.

Shane Stafford...very good QB...

 

[MilliniumPrince]

BC fans were gracious as I was walking around after the game. They look defeated by this season. Their coach should invest in moving boxes if he doesn't finish strong

 

[coachRD]

Can we agree JF is quite excellent recently. Kid is on fire.

JF adding to his repertoire running smartly, without hesitation, and aggressively, has brought him to a whole other level.

I wonder if we had any shot at sneaking in the top 25 if we didn't blow those games. No sense in looking back though, win each game in front of them from now on.

UConn probably gets a vote here and there to be in the top 25. But we can't undo the losses. The more important thing they didn't allow those 2 losses to start a downward spiral into more losses. I can't prove this, but I feel like the Syracuse loss carried over to the Delaware game, at least for the defense it did.

We want to be New England’s team- Gene Defilippo.

 

[Kowalski]

If the Cuse game against BC this year is close, will Fran Brown make his team do post game wind sprints in front of everone? He should.

I think it definitely had an impact on the Delaware game. They had like a 97% chance of winning the Cuse game late before everything fell apart. That's tough to come back from mentally.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Countdown until the first person says "we just beat a bad team."

As if I care; still beats losing to bad teams.

Congrats to entire team and coaching staff. Especially HCJM
