On Saturday, as two teams, Boston College and Florida State, play a game we’ll remember a man who put the team first, when there was much more than a game at stake. Boston College will be honoring the memory of Welles Crowther, a BC alum who gave his life on September 11^th, saving at least a dozen people from the south tower of the World Trade Center. BC will also be honoring other members of the BC community for exemplifying the school’s motto of Men and Women for others.

BC’s Best Chance to Win

More play action passes and win the battle in the trenches.

BC put up a school record 691 yards of offense last week against Syracuse and it’s no surprise most of it came on the ground. However, the two plays that really broke the game wide open were the long touchdowns passes to Kobay White and Zay Flowers. Both plays were play action passes. BC will be smart to lean on the run again as, not only are the Seminoles surrendering 154.7 yards per game and 3.7 yards per rush, but it will provide more opportunities for big plays down the field. With BC’s methodical style of offense that doesn’t usually produce a lot of points, any chance they have to grab a quick 7 points, could put the score out of reach. Like BC, much of Florida State’s offense goes through their running back Cam Akers but a big lead would put the pressure on the shoulders of James Blackman and his struggling offensive line.

Speaking of that offensive line, this is a unit that BC can take advantage of. Florida State’s biggest problem over the past few seasons has been their offensive line and BC’s defensive line has shown brief flashes of improvement over the last few games. This is a very winnable game for the Eagles, but a dangerous one, as you can never be quite sure which Florida State team you’re going to get: talented and athletic or incompetent and unfocused.

I expect the Eagles to be locked in and focused, as they almost always are for the Red Bandanna game.
