**ABOVE AVERAGE PLAY ON:
Boston College -7 (EZ 27-7 WINNER!)
-Oh Boy, it seems that the whole world and all its ancestors are on this UCONN team who frankly to me, is good, but they really havent done enough, in my opinion, to back them against a consistantly solid Big East team like BC...In fact, BC since the start of the new millenium has been the most consist team winning all of its post season bowl games in the last 4 seasons something no other school can claim...Still, this team gets no respect from year to year mainly due to there playing in the shadows of Miami and Va Tech...Well, these two schools have since departed to the ACC Conf and now BC has the opportunity to shine a little brighter and take their program to the Top of the Big East Conf...Today is their first step to doing just that...
Now many publications have picked BC to finish behind this UCONN team in the Big East and I think this is not sitting to good with BC after what they have proven to do the last 4 seasons...Not to mention, that BC is also 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS vs UCONN the last 3 years, and have outscored them by an average of 34-11...
BC has been able to take care of the Huskies because of their ability to pound the ball behind that huge O-Line and behind some solid defensive play...Tonight, I see not much of a different style of play by BC which will lead to another win both SU and ATS vs UCONN...
UCONN's Offense behind QB Orlovsky is solid, as he is one of the best QB's in the Big East this year, if not the best...and this Offense does return 9 starters from last years team...QB Orlovsky has also thrown 61 TD passes, only second to Hawaii's Timmy Chang...and he has averaged 336 ypg (67%) with a 6-3 ratio...But, on the opposite end, BC's QB Peterson though only averaging 167 ypg, did complete 65% of his attempts and with a 4-1 ratio...
BC this season returns 5 starters on Offense, and they will need to replace All Big East RB in Derrick Knight and three of their Big Uglies up front...but like every year, they always seem to come up with another solid RB, as well as, another huge formidable Big Uglies Unit, which has become a trademark of this Golden Eagle squad so I am not to worried about last seasons departures...In fact, this year BC redshirt Freshman RB Callender, who had a storied HS career is expect to create big things of his own....BC will also have the advantage of having two capable QB's in Peterson and Porter to run the show and they will be deep in the WR area as they return 4 of their top 5 WRs from last season...Coach O'Brien is from the ranks of the NFL so he knows the value of the play action pass and having capable WR corp to throw to is very much a positive advantage to have at his disposal...
As for this BC defense...they return 6 starters from last season, but they will possess the Big East's best secondaries and they showed their athleticism in last weeks win over Penn St as they came up with 4 ints against the Nittany Lions Offense...This is a solid positive for BC in this one as UCONN will depend mainly on the arm of QB Orlovsky to get them the win...If the Golden Eagles can hold this UCONN team to continue its poor 3.4 ypr which they have averaged in their last two games vs Duke and Murray ST...and play stuffing run defense like they did holding Penn St to just 73 yards on the ground, which I think they can...I say that QB Ovlovsky and this UCONN team will meet their first taste of defeat and be sent right down to the pack of the overrated...
BC has the decided advantage over this UCONN team on both sides of the ball, but especially on the defensive side and that should be huge in this one as they are also at home tonight...UCONN dominates the Golden Eagles on the basketball court, but it is the other way around on the gridiron as BC has not lost to the Huskies yet and has a record of 9-0-2 over them...Tonight the Golden Eagles roll over their nearby rival again and get another solid Eagle win to start the Big East Conf race...Go Eagles!
-Ok Gang...lets start this weekend off to another positive start...I may be up later with this Saturday's card, so check back later if interested...Until then, lets do some damage with this BAD BOY...Good luck to All and LETS GO GET EM!...ALOHA CC.
