I'm hoping this year is similar to DanO's freshman year where you saw them compete and hang around in a lot of games.
Was that the year BC fans were saying the UConn game was basically a controlled scrimmage? Man, they had some obnoxious fans
I do not know if BC is better than Utah State and there is no logic to saying I always pick UConn to win in the game day threads lol. I do know BC plays a much tougher schedule than Utah State typically and that impacts team record.
No we won't, and no, we won't.
Don’t forget, we won’t be playing BC at 5000ft. We’d played a Utah State team accustomed to playing at that altitude.
Solid team??? They have not had a winning season in the ACC conference in 13 or 14 years and they were 2-6 in conference last season. Why do you think they fired Addazio? Who was then fired by Colorado State two years later. That program is in a shambles,
I think it's too early to tell how good BC will be this year as they lost their entire starting OL from last year as well as their offensive coordinator.
Thanks, Captain Obvious. We've been through quite a few FCS games over the past debacle of a decade. I don't think Mora has them taking this lightly, but maybe you can give him a jingle and let him know.
Yup, all that is true. They still have been nowhere near as bad as UConn has been for years.
They are a shambles? They are 6-6, 6-5, 6-7, 7-5, and 7-6 over the last five years. We are 1-11, 0-0, 2-10, 1-11, and 3-9 in the same years. They have a losing record in the ACC? We lost Holy Cross and were within a hair of losing to Yale (our only win). We have to realize the hole we are digging out of at this point. Yes Mora improved the roster, the attitude, and the coaching, but we were not only behind in the race we had been lapped multiple times. That makes it a pretty big leap to think BC is still not way ahead of us.
Obviously you’re including cupcake opponents OUTSIDE of their conference schedule to get those past five won-lost records. Last year OOC they played Colgate, UMass, and Temple, yet finished 2-6 in conference. The results are similar in the other past four years you cite. They get creamed in conference almost every year, and that is why Addazio was canned. You have the nerve to sight for UConn a team from last year that was in complete disarray after Edsall was rightly fired mid season and with Spanos taking over. The only bright spot was when Benedict brought in Mazzone to call some plays.
That’s also true, but if last weeks game is any indication, I think you and Huskygrad are greatly selling UConn short against BC. You should wake up and realize that Mora has done a tremendous job so far.
Did you mean Attitude or Altitude? Just wondering.
They also lost their star QB for most of the season, hence the ACC struggles. THey were .500 in the ACC the previous 4 years, which is the definition of "solid." I think they're closer to a .500 ACC team than a 2 win ACC team given their track record. For a Northeast school you absolutely take .500 in a "southern" conference w/ a good chance at a bowl every year as a success.
16 wins and 16 losses over the previous 4 years in a weak football conference like the ACC is not my definition of “solid”.
We should be playing in such a WEAK conference.
I feel like I am dumping on my Huskies to back up an objective argument. I chose all of both teams games because then I’m not being selective as you are, but I’ll go there. Their OOC included UMass…we lost to UMass.
Well, relative to the SEC, Big 10, PAC 12 and even the Big 12, yes I agree, we should be playing in such a weak football conference.
