Boston College vs. Louisville: Final Thoughts And Predictions

Another week, another loss, another week of questions here at BC Interruption. Clemson imposed its will on Boston College on Saturday, and DeShaun Watson looked like a Heisman Candidate against the vaunted BC defense. Now it's time for Louisville, a team that has been very inconsistent this season. We all know what Boston College needs to improve on; the biggest question is, will they?

Big Questions

How will Boston College's defense do against Lamar Jackson, after struggling against a mobile QB last weekend? How many big plays does Mehdi Abdesmad have in him this week? Can the secondary play a full four quarters without letting up the big play like they did last weekend? How bad is the shoulder injury to Ty Schwab? On offense, what lessons did Jeff Smith learn playing against Clemson in a very hostile environment? Can Myles Willis continue to be the feature back or will the injury bug slow him down? Will Addazio continue to use Jordan Gowins? Sherman Alston, what should his role be on this team? Can the offensive line continue to improve? Can Smith find a way to get Thadd Smith and Elijah Robinson in the game? Mike Knoll looked solid last week, can he build on that?

Lingering Questions

Will the weather play a role in this game? Can Steve Addazio please not screw up the end of the half? Pretty please? What will Louisville do against a really good Boston College defense? If BC clamps down again, will the offense score enough points to win?

What To Drink During A Game That Hopefully Will Surprise Us

Space Cake - Clown Shoes. In honor of all of our fans that are not too happy with the state of the program, I give you Clown Shoes Brewery. Last weekend I went to a beer festival in Boston, and Clown Shoes had a stand there and their selections were all pretty delicious. This is a stiffy bo biffy beer, a Double IPA, which for you light beer drinkers is about 2 1/2 times the alcohol of a Bud Light. This is a slow sipping beer, something you don't want to guzzle, but really has a good complex flavor.

Gametime Song Of The Week

If you don't like my song choice, here is a YouTube Playlist of Joe Walsh

Master P - Make Em Say UGH!...Back in the late 90's there came a group of rappers, known as the No Limit Souljas. Led by Master P, a failed basketball player, the group made a whole bunch of crappy albums, mixed with a few really good songs like the one above. There was Mystikal, there was ummmm...Master P, there was that girl, and that guy. Didn't one of them kill a guy? Yeah, I don't know many of the Souljas. I just know this song, and the freaking awesome gold tank that was driven around on a basketball court like a drunk Dennis Rodman. If any of you wondered, this group basically doesn't exist anymore, but Master P is pretty rich. So that's cool.

BCI Staff Predictions and GPS

Grant and Joe are the only two picking the Eagles this week.

Jeff - 10-9 Louisville. Watching the game at home.

A.J - 17-10 Louisville. Look, I wanted to pick BC, but everytime I do I give the Eagles bad juju, so I'm going to throw my jinx at the Cardinals. Watching this game up at the cabin with the family, watching leaves change colors or whatever.

Grant - 17-6 BC. Getting beaten down into being more and more optimistic with every loss, because reasons. In Connecticut, simultaneously watching ALL OF THE HOCKEY.

Joe - 24-10 BC. There I said it. I'll be watching as much as I can at my parents' house in between work-related events.

Dan-  Louisville 20-17. It's a hard-earned 17 points and we see a couple of big plays along the way. I'll be watching this one while celebrating my wife's grandmother's 80th birthday.

Laura B - 17-10 Louisville. I will (as usual) be checking in on the game via Twitter.

Arthur - 14-13 Louisville. I'll be trying to figure out what to do on a weekend without baseball. You know, because the Mets won the National League. #lgm

I guess I'll have just woken up and made my way over to my couch to watch.

Coach - Louisville 17 BC 13. I changed the pick three times before submitting it. Really on the fence because I think BC could pull this one off, but Louisville has played well at home and the passing game will make a difference. Location: Sequestered as I am every Saturday between noon and midnight.
