Raiola is dropping dimes today

He’ll only get better. Rhule needs to get him some weapons.

Winning a bowl game as a true freshman. Not bad. Not bad.

He was battling injuries when the Bruins came to town. I think BC underestimated the Huskers.

on CDF/Ucla yet? Lol. You downplay/minimize Ucla win and prop up BC loss? Not sure 7-5 team would underestimate anyone in a Bowl game. Don't short sell O'Brien. He's a lot better than that, don't you think.

Lost starting QB Thomas Castellanos after he was benched. New QB Grayson James seems to be more of a game manager…not as dynamic at Castellanos, although Tommy TD was erratic at the time of benching. 2 key linemen did not play in today’s bowl game - Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku and OL Ozzy Trapilo. Ezeiruaku is a player that’s hard to replace. A BC buddy of mine texted me:

“Yep almost the whole offensive line were 2nd or 3rd stringers. The guy playing center never played center before…”

At least O’Brien got them to a bowl game this year…BC’s roster is not one that reeks of amazing talent.

NU’s Raiola > BC’s James and I would also say Castellanos.

As for UCLA and CDF, at least it’s a new start on offense. I hope the new offensive coaches can get the running game going. I can only hope as a fan at this point…and the program doesn’t go through its 6th coach in what, 25+ years…I guess that’s what happens when a administration won’t make the football program a significant priority of the university…both schools have had that as the same problem.

BC is trying to catch up after years of mediocrity in the ACC…at least BC women’s lacrosse is a powerhouse, lol!

No need to go into details. I'm just messing with you. I'm actually a bit fond of BC going back as an underdog program during Doug Flutie days.
