Despite all the potential for a trap game, I am not worried about our matchup with Army. Let's hope it is a nice solid victory. If the game doesn't go our way, readers venting their frustration in this post should be entertaining. Leave your thoughts and comments below.

Here are my thoughts on our game and a couple others.
http://saturdayblitz.com/2012/10/06/thoughts-three-predictions-florida-texas-boston-college/
What is the BC crowd like at the game?
Classic white on white.
Not a great first series.
Well that was dumb
It'd be nice to see Noel have a good game. Hasn't really been effective yet this season.
Why are we playing bend don't break against a run team?
Glad to see that Spaziani and McGovern had the team ready.
If we don't score on this drive, I'll be surprised.
Dudeck getting it done.
How is Army pressuring Rettig?
Rettig trying to force it because it was free play???
BJK,
on the sack, we got in our own way. Williams pushed the guard away.
Georgia Tech is going to kill us with this O.
Our defense is emotionless.
TWO fumbles by Army and neither recovered.
I really hate our defensive "strategy". And the lack of execution.
Our defense can't stop army.
Pathetic.
Just crazy that the defense sucks this bad
There was a blatant hold on that run. I'm not saying Army wasn't going to score, or that our D was going to stop them, but a hold there nonetheless.
Atl, you're right. GaTech running the option will be like a hot knife through butter. To be fair to butter, our defense will probably give more easily.
When I go to Atlanta in a couple of weeks, I am considering not wearing my school colors - just regular clothes.
How pathetic is that?
This is the worst BC defense since the mid-90's.
Horrible!
Rettig is not very accurate today
How many points do you think Stony Brook would put up against this D?
BJK,
I'd still wear the colors. Solidarity is even more important in trying times.
Eagleboston,
I agree. Looks all out of sorts today.
Where's Spiffy? Not that I really care if he's playing or not, just interesting that he's not our return man. *scratches chin*
PS: I know this has been addressed before, but why are the "I'm not a robot" characters so goddamn hard? I'm on attempt #3. I think I got this one though....
Of course you are right, Ben, but I am just expressing my total frustration and embarrassment.
Meanwhile, kudos to Army.
As an Army veteran, I am proud of them and their traditions.
Go BC - wake up, for crying out loud.
Hey are the weird colors of the computer generated first down, line of scrimmage, and seemingly arbitrary "every 20 yard" line giving anyone else fits?
What has happened to Noel this year?
Darn lucky on that play.
BJK... the Spaz funk is contagious.
Wow!!! That makes me feel better.
Williams doing his best to break the Spaz funk.
That's got to be a school record for longest TD run.
An SEC defender would have run him down.
What was our longest TD run in history? Troy Stradford 95 yards against Maryland in the mid-80"s?
That will help our rushing stats. :-)
OK. Lets go now.
Rettig just comes out and throws a TD to Amidon. Make it happen
Absolute gift but good play by Edibali.
God, Amidon is good.
Big,
Army had two fumbles earlier that BC had and lost. It is evening out.
Nice timeout! Love how Spaz acts mad after his ridiculous timeout calls.
Yeaaaah.
Jesus that play seemingly works every time. Love it.
I knew that Amidon would be good as he matured, but this is tremendous.
I thought originally that as teams concentrated on Larmond, Swigert and Pantale, etc., Amidon would sneak some long ones.
That he is our primary threat and go-to guy is a great story.
Alex is hard-working, smart - and very fast! He is a great story for Boston College and a credit to his school and family.
anyone know what radio station this is on in boston? checked 680, 850, and 98.5...no dice.
Most triple option teams really struggle coming from behind. Also, I think Rettig and company will at least score 2 more TD's.
I take back my comment about an SEC defender running down Williams. He ran an 11.88 100 with pads!
Ry, it's on WEEI.
Our O-Line is having big trouble with guys 100 pounds lighter.
Is Bollman as bad as Devine?
Look at Army with the hurry up. Weird that we don't have that in our gameplan. We're up aren't we?
William set an ACCrecord
Old record
ACC all-time record. Longest run
98 yards Steve Adkins Maryland v Clemson, Nov 18, 1978
So THIS is why Spaz saves his timeouts... in case the other team out aggressives us and goes for the field goal at the end of the half....
Stupid giving up FG
I........Despise.........Spaz.
I am going to try to find out how many spaz teams have given up scores right before the half.
Someone needs to do an analysis of how many games a Spaz-coached team has given up a score right before half. I'm guessing it is at least 8.
I guess that someone will be ATL. The current guess is 8. Any others?
Rettig sacked 4 times in the 1st half.
Out of what, 43 coached games? I'm going to go with 18.
This defense really pisses me off
I.......Hate........Spaz!
We shouldn't have to be struggling against ARMY. Ridiculous.
Allowing 6.2 yards per rush against winless ARmy.
McGovern needs to be relieved of his duties, if not fired now.
If we lose this game, Spaziani needs to be fired before arriving back in Boston.
Do it by phone, Fr. Leahy.
I can understand why Spaz's defenses would have trouble against the triple option. He was only on the staff at Navy and played the military academies with regularity at UVA and BC. Has faced Georgia Tech in conference and played Navy in a Bowl. This is practically brand new to him. He just needs more time.
ATL,
You have me laughing. I'm depressed about our D, but you got me laughing.
Army is an 0-4 team
Losing to Stony Brrok, Wake, North 'll, and SD St.
And today, so far, a better football team than BC
Nonetheless I feel momentum swinginging our way Rey soon
*way
20 yard punt, fuq you Spaz
I don't like punting there. Even if we pinned them. This looks like it will be a shoot out. Need points on every drive.
Net 20 yards on punt. dumb
Poor special teams play.
Blah blah blah
Terrible defense, but good hustle by Edebali to save the TD.
Jim Noel injured...the BC defense is hoping he can't return.
This team is post gambling scandal bad. They are just awful and I don't understand why most people thought we would crush Army, we have zero talent and always have trouble with the option. We will win zero ACC games.
We should just run out the 3rd quarter....free timeout!!
If Army is getting to Chase like this I can only imagine what FSU will do.
FSU could also put 70 pts on us if they really wanted too.
Chase Rettig is starting to look like...ehh...Chase Rettig.
Wow. There isn't much to say.
This is a worst case scenario at this point.
Boston College must wait and hope for Army to beat itself.
Peanut,
Rettig's been sacked five times today. I would say the o-line is looking like the o-line. I would pissed if I were Rettig.
Al Golden can't arrive soon enough.
We will give up over 500 yards Army, if not 600 yards
They have 423 now. With a quarter to go
I am embarrassed for them
Ben, I'd be pissed too if I was playing like this. I see your point, but his passes/reads the last 2 quarters are looking like the old Rettig. Hopefully he turns it around in the 4th.
I'm not looking forward to GaTech.
Here is why this coaching staff needs to be eliminated - in the past 2 games, the BC offense has scored a ton of points in the first half, but struggled mightily in the 2nd. The other teams have made adjustments against the BC offense, but Spaz and Company have failed to do so.
Army has 3 players with over 100 yds rushing.
I don't want to hear inexperience against the option. How much experience did Stony Brook, Wake, and Northern IL have?
Army wants the game. BC does not.
The announcer just mentioned BC's "inexperience" - (in Spaziani's 4th year.)
Shall we discuss the absence of second half adjustments?
Let's see if we have any guts at all from this point forward.
Army has 400 yds of rushing, lol
McGovern hasn't made a 2nd half adjustment all year, as far as I know.
Jack
McGovern hasn't made a 2nd half adjustment all CAREER as far as I know.
McGovern needs to be fired as I mentioned above.
Do Army guys tire?
Yeah, I didn't think so either
touche Mod, touche.
Is it bad to hope for a loss and mid-season firing? Yeah...right? Hm....right?
This is pathetic. If Army wins, I'm not going to be able to show my face for weeks.
Amidon-don, Amidon-don, baby!
Now back to our D and the aristry of Mr. McGovern.
Not
Now McGovern's D will save the game.
Great play to put us ahead.
Maybe would should have considered a funny kickoff with that 15 yard advantage - but no go. A squibbly ground ball, maybe force a fumble.
As of right now, BC's opponents have had 251 one offensive plays in the last 3 games. Truly, truly pathetic.
the way Rositano slumped was not good. He looked like he got knocked out.
How tired is our defense?
Yup. Real tired.
Rositano is concussed. Worst thing about this sport and what will lead to its downfall as soon as the lawyers flood in with lawsuits.
Did you hear what Spaz told the announcers regarding Asprilla. I think he thinks he's being charming when he throws the players under the bus.
Spaz= Dick
Even if BC wins, Army totally outplayed us. They should be up by 10 or more right now. We are one of the worst teams in FBS.
Let them score.
They will score with no time left.
radio announcers saying boo is the new AD
At least Spaz is using all his timeouts here. He did something right this game.
Way to let 5 seconds tick off the clock before taking the last timeout Spaz. You deadbeat.
As Montel Harris breaks off a 35 yard TD run to seal it for Temple. Over 100 yards on the day. Good for him. But please, someone kill me if we lose this game.
Good stop for the Defense. Sylvia is a mess and makes plenty of mistakes, but he's tough.
McGovern is one lucky guy.
Game not over yet.
What did Meter say on air regarding Corrigan? I am watching the TV broadcast.
Watch Army get the ball back and score with no time left. Playing to lose again with this offensive series.
Taking the ball out of Rettigs hands?
Even the announcers are calling spaz a pussy.
I don't understand taking the delay penalty there at all. You take 1 more second off the clock and give up 4 more yards. Ridiculous.
We deserve to lose this game. Do you believe the play calling, penalty and lousy punt?
Spaz is more incompetent than the umpire who screwed the Braves yesterday. WTF is he doing?! Fuck you Spaz. Fuck you.
YES!!
This is a classic shit bag game from Spaz
Not a surprise with how many snaps out D has been on the field...
Still. Freaking. Speechless.
Good bye Spaziani.
It cannot happen fast enough.
Congratulations Army.
Your first job, Corrigan is to fire Spaziani. He is a disgrace.
Meter was just saying to expect a big announcement Tursday. He highlighted Corrigan's work at Duke and ND as well as his father's connection with the ACC.
I..........Loathe..........Spaz!!!!!
"Loathe" isn't a strong enough word. This is disgusting.
I hope this cause Spaz and McGovern to be fired Monday morning
Congratulations Army.
Spaziani needs to be relieved of his job before he gets back to Boston.
The 2 year extension granted by GDF needs to be investigated as a crime against Boston College. Our lawyers should contest it, and BC should not give this guy a dime.
I'm serious. It is blatant fraud, and Napoleon is probably getting a kickback.
The only good thing to come of this debacle is that it just about guarantees Spaz will be gone.
For the love of God is there not a backup goalie on the soccer team who can punt.
But thinking why would he want to play for Spaz instead of Kelly on a winning team
BC did get on the front page of foxnews.com for good reasons.
