Boston College Daily Links: Finch Or Williams A "Game-Time Decision"

ACC Teleconference Tidbits, Oct. 26 (ACC Sports Journal)
Rolandan Finch had a very strong game (over 140 total yards rushing and receiving) last week, but that doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to start for Boston College against Maryland. Frank Spaziani said it would be a "game-time decision" whether Finch or Andre Williams - who has been working his way back form an ankle injury - would get the nod. Spaziani also noted that "no one loses their job because they are injured."

College Football’s Ten Most Surprising Teams of 2011 (The Big Lead)
Boston College’s offensive transition (99th against FBS) has been rough. Its defense predicted to carry them (84th in FBS) has been soft. Its schedule has been unforgiving. The result has been a disaster of a season. The Eagles are 0-6 against FBS teams. They needed two fumble returns for touchdowns to pull away from FCS UMass. The school’s best effort this season is either a 16-point loss to Virginia Tech or a seven-point defeat to a Persa-less Northwestern. Projected in the seven-win range, 3-9 is now the best realistic scenario.
