Hey, Did You Know BC Has A Young Team? Don’t Worry, You’ll Be Reminded

Welcome to the YouthMeter! Time to check the tape and see how many references there were in Steve Addazio’s most recent press conferences about BC being a young team, or how many freshmen or sophomores are in the lineup.

September 21 ACC Conference Call:

Young Team: 1
#1: I know what I saw this week, and we're a young team, we're going to make some mistakes, but we really do have some ability.

Young (without “team”): 3
#1: I think the young guys in that environment got a little flustered

#2: This young offensive line has got to really come together.

#3: We had some -- we had a hard time with some of the young receivers in man coverage.

Freshmen/sophomores: 2

#1: We're playing 11 freshmen and sophomores on offense, and in that environment under those conditions, that wasn't the best situation to be in.

#2: We're playing a couple of true freshmen and true sophomores who have a limited number of starts under their belts

September 19 Weekly Press Conference

Young Team: 2

#1: And that’s critically important when you’re developing a football team, let alone a young football team.

#2: When you’re in that kind of home field, you get a little bit of an advantage. And it can sway a young football team.

Young (without “Team): 5

#1: We had the young guys scrimmaging out there in full pads and our players were encouraging them and rolling.

#2: We’re pretty young and sometimes you do too much of that, and you’re doing things that you don’t have enough reps at

#3: It’s pretty easy: we’re young up front and we’re not handling well right now some of the things that are going on.

#4: We’re too young. We’ve got to just stay in a groove and get better.

#5: But when you have a young offensive line, you want all those reps.

Freshmen/sophomores:

Zero!
