10 point dogs suggest to me that we have a legitimate chance in this game. I'd put our odds of winning at about 30% but that's pretty solid.

 

[HuskyNan]

A lil’ hand-wringing on Beacon Hill. LOL

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I think this game comes down to the final drive. Hopefully the buzz hasn’t worn off after the Ball St L and bye week

 

[noeynox]

Last chance for a win over a a P5, I think they'll be ready to go. I expect Mora to blitz the crap out of them. Their OL is a weak spot.

 

[Waquoit]

I think they should dissolve the program even if they win.

That's not far off from Sagarin, whom I think has BC at 68%.

 

[storrsroars]

I'm hoping to catch the NMst/UMass game. O/U is a mere 36. That's kinda like the playoff Yankees playing the playoff Yankees.

 

[gopher2]

This could be our best chance ever to beat BC. They are way down this year and if we can find a way to put about 27 on the board it just might be enough. I'm thinking a defensive or special teams TD might get us over the top. Of course they could wallop us again, but man I hope the players get super pumped for this one, take it to them from the get go, and keep pouring it on. However the noon-time kickoff is unfortunate. We always see to come out flat as sheet in games that start at noon. Hopefully this Saturday will be different.

Ruelas for the win. Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

 

[giddyup]

If we can pull a W on this one, it will be huge for the program.

Not to mention Chestnut Hill!

Damned straight this is a winnable game. Look at what BC has done this year and you will see they are equivalent to Ball State. At home UConn should win. Take the points. I smell a signature win approaching quickly.

 

[ktuck911]

This year's version of BCU turns the ball over. We definitely got a legit shot.

 

[HuskyNan]

Not to mention Chestnut Hill!

Who cares? Close enough.

SP+ sez BC 30-19 w/ 75% win probability:

USA Today Week 8 Misery Index:

-> Miserable but not miserable enough​

Boston College: There weren’t many feel-good stories during the makeshift 2020 season, but the Eagles emerged as a model of COVID-19 caution with zero positive tests while also going 6-5 in their first season under Jeff Hafley. But nobody has had much of a reason to think about Boston College since then. Though the Eagles had enough bad teams on their schedule in 2021 to get bowl eligible, 2022 has been highly unkind. The 2-5 Eagles aren’t just losing, they’re getting their doors blown off by the likes of Florida State (44-14), Clemson (31-3) and most recently Wake Forest (43-15). <-

 

[ktuck911]

Plain and simple brethren.... We protect our homefield, we go bowling... We need to go 3-1 the rest of the way to do that... If we're prepared to play the way we've been playing each and every week (save the Ball State 2nd half....I think we just ran out of gas)... we've been getting better, more disciplined (especially the D), we should take care of business... Let's Go Huskies! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!

If Houston plays, we have a realistic chance. Otherwise, you just have to play hard and hope everything breaks your way.

 

[SubbaBub]

1st half Zion vs Ball State, we win. 2nd half Zion or 2nd half defense, we lose.

We turn the ball over, we also lose.

 

[uconndogs]

From my standpoint BC has superior talent. They're down this season, but we still have a ways to go to level out the talent gap. I watched their game against Wake. They played very poorly, but they have some talent on both sides of the ball and that receiver they have can really run.

That all said, if we come out to play our Super Bowl and they come in looking to get the season done, it could be a very interesting game. I don't think that's out of the question. I have to believe Hafley's seat is getting warm and that can have a way of polluting the locker room.....one can hope!

Wasn’t that the case vs Utah State and Fresno State?

 

[uconndogs]

Wasn’t that the case vs Utah State and Fresno State?

FWIW, not to my eye. I think BC has better talent and is more physically imposing.
