At the risk of saying something positive about BC football.   Prior to the death of independent eastern FB, BC was the legit northeast FB standard bearer, moreso than Syracuse and certainly New England FB.

That ended shortly after Flutie's pass landed safely in Phelan's arms.  The ND upsets were just that, upsets.  BC was nothing more than a plucky team in the national sense.

With the formation of BE FB, Miami and VT were the eastern powers defined through conference affiliation.  BC was an afterthought.   Solid middle pack program.  There ACC success showed how bad the ACC was in FB before 2003.  (Fsu and the lost sisters of the poor)

UConn's rise and BC's isolation flipped the programs.   In 2003 we had no hope of beating BC on a regular basis, today I think we'd win most.   BC's hope is that CR puts us back to the 20th century.

That remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure.  Good coach or not, BC's best days are behind them.
