Top 10 ACC Football Matchups for the 2013 Season (Atlantic Coast Convos)
The newest installment in this actual rivalry (no quotations) gains some extra importance this season, since there’s a good chance it takes place the Friday after Thanksgiving — typically a premiere day for rivalries such as this one. Now, many outside of this matchup know/care very little about it, but hear me out: BC/Syracuse is an important one, and among the few lasting relics of the east coast independents era. The hate will return. This will be a fun time.
Q&A with Luke Kuechly (BCEagles.com)
I think the biggest adjustment on the field was the speed of the game. Guys have been around. In college you get a guy that's a third-year, fourth-year guy and maybe they didn't play their first couple of years so they've only got two years of experience. In the NFL, you've got a guy that's been playing for eight years - same position, same everything - so he's got it figured out. He knows where he's going, he knows how to get there, and he knows all the tricks. The speed of the game and the knowledge of guys are better.

Which is having a tremendous work ethic, pushing yourself beyond what you’ve done before, being accountable, and pushing your teammates. That’s what’s important right now.

ACC Power Rankings: Week of 1/14 (Streaking The Lawn)
At this early point in the season, BC has taken over frontrunner status in the race for ACC's worst team. Scoring doesn't seem to be the team's biggest issue, as sophomore Ryan Anderson has had a quietly strong season, but defense is. How could a team that was 344th least experienced last year (in terms of minutes played) still be 341st this season?! Doesn't anyone up there age?
