The problem at BC is the OL and the running game. If you can't run the ball, the defense is going to focus on stopping the pass and blitzing the QB. Last 4 games BC rushing stats:

Stanford: 56 yards
Cal: 197 yards
Pitt: 27 yards
Clemson: 85 yards

Pitt and Clemson they were down after 15 minutes and almost had to abandon the run to get back into the game. Turbo Richards is a good running back.
 
Someone said BC thinks highly of themselves. That is an understatement! I was at a wedding the other day. The groom was a BC grad. His buddies were concerned about how they’ve become non-competitive. Several of them think they should consider dropping down to FCS and joining—wait for it—the Ivy League! I almost spit out my drink.

ivy league? oof.
the assumption that joining is an automatic yes, and would depend on THEM (BC) wanting it, is bold.

UConn has a better chance of getting an invite to the B1G at full share, in the summer of 2026, than this does of happening lol


yeah, we need to destroy them this weekend.

This is all over their fan site BC Interruption. Several fans talk about how they are equivalent to the Ivys. My favorite was something like "BC is Harvard during the week, Alabama on Saturdays." Totally delusional

I welcome BC to drop to FCS so a real program can take their place

"Defense is different man. Defense is you know, it's effort. It's athleticism. It's speed. It's violence"
Offense "I don't know why you wouldn't want to play in this system if you have a desire to go play at the next level
NFL Level Coaching
NFL Level Structure
NFL System"
 
I hate to bring this up but I'm advancing in age and memory isn't all that good.
Past couple of years, even as UConn has improved overall, did they not struggle first few series coming out of bye weeks?
Seems like us fans were up in a tizzy over both sides of the ball looking sluggish amd not firing on all cylinders.

You're not wrong. The last 2 years coming off the bye week UConn lost to Wake Forest and South Florida. In Mora's 1st year, UConn won coming off the bye week...the opponent was BCU, so in this case I hope history repeats itself vs. BCU (in terms of us winning).

Great stuff. There are also a lot of folks over there realizing that bcu needs a reality check and we agree. At the same time I don't think bcu is as bad as some claim. They played Berkely, Stanford and Mich St close. Not exactly murderers' row but P4 nevertheless. This would be a major victory for UConn. Be the ball. Go Huskies!!

Against Pitt, they ran 24 times and passed 30 times. Against Clemson, they ran 32 times and passed 29 times. They did not abandon the run.
