BC’s BEST CHANCE TO WIN

Well it’s a shame Harold Landry won’t be able to cap off his senior year with a proper send-off, but the Eagles have played very well without him for most of the season. Iowa’s two best players are by far Josh Jackson (CB) and Josey Jewell (LB). The two unanimous All-Americans are major reasons this defense is ranked 19th in points allowed. Jackson is going to lock-down whichever receiver he’s tasked with, and throwing his way is ill advised. Meanwhile Jewell will probably be the toughest linebacker AJ Dillon has faced since he took over the starting role. Darius Wade will not only have to limit mistakes but also make downfield plays to keep the defense off of Dillon’s back. Meanwhile, BC’s front seven should hold as long as they can keep Akrum Wadley between the tackles. If Wadley can get outside like he did against Ohio State, he could give BC nightmares.

Everyone expects this to be a grind it out kind of win between two hard-nosed football teams, so it will likely end up being a 52-49 shootout where both quarterbacks throw for 400+ yards.
