A new season starts against an old foe. However, now UMass is FBS we can call it the "Battle of the Bay State." If the season is going to be special, it starts today. Leave your comments and thoughts below.

Let's go, Eagles!
Very happy with the Super Fan turnout.
FYI, ESPN3 has come a long way. The feed looks great.
I agree. Much better picture. Thank God we live in the 20 teens!
Good first defensive drive. I would like to see more pressure though.
I was just saying the same. I've spent a lot of the past couple years watching BC on my laptop. It's improved drastically. Maybe we will too and move off the Ocho and onto TV haha.
Damn penalties. Absolute drive killer.
Not a bad first drive. It shows that there are plenty of big holes for Murphy to run through.
Penalties kill as always but Murphy has looked pretty decent so far.
I see the defense has made zero progress since last year.
There is the first sack we need.
Murphy really does change the whole offense.
Aside from the penalties, the offense looked good.
nice moves by Willis
And Rouse!
Killer penalties, but moving the ball well. Need a few more wrinkles in the red zone too.
Playing with fire. Can't put the ball in the end zone year after year.
Bentancourt is killing us!
Umass is one play away from giving us all heartbreak. We have been inside the 30 3 times and have just 6 points to show for it.
Come on guys
Defense has been really shaky too
What the hell has happened to the discipline of this team? They have more penalties in the first half than they had in several games last season.
Don't we need to go to the air here? Time is ticking.
Murphy forced that pass.
I guess that is why we don't go to the air. I like Murphy's running, but all of his throws have been shitty.
The really bad feelings are starting to get stronger.
We should just blitz every play. He can't handle it.
We were lucky to get away without letting them score.
And even more penalties.
I f&^%$ hate that rule. It is a double penalty and that cost is the Northwestern game 2 years ago.
It's a good rule so you can't cheat in that situation. You can't just take a penalty to stop the clock and get a free TO. BC is just really stupid to commit those penalties with under a minute left.
Ugly, ugly, ugly first half. Even if we survive this one, I have grave concerns about the Pitt game
There is a lot to like about the first half. The score is not one of them.
Are we back in the Spaz era again? Terrible, terrible half of football.
Pitt is good but they are like us.
would Spaz have ever started a drive from his own 30 w 1:18 remaining? Then gone for it on 4 & 2 on same? Or have a QB of his QB rush for 92 yrds? Let's keep some perspective, good brother. There was plenty of good and plenty of bad in that half. Not sure it reveals a whole lot about the remainder of the season. But one things for sure: Daz ain't Spaz.
We need a good drive to start game. Letting them hang around.
I need to edit my earlier comments about the defense. They only allowed 84 yards in the first half. That's pretty darn good.
That was obviously said in jest but thanks for your input
Memo to the OC named Ryan Day: your game plan is dull, predictable and ineffective. Please loosen it up.
Is this game on tv in Boston?
Even these crappy announcers have criticized the play calling for being too predictable. This Bama game is tempting to watch instead.
Happy my "Smart TV" picks up game nicely
The game is not on TV. And to make matters worse, the Notre Dame Alumni Association is watching the ND/Rice game at a bar right below my office. Every time ND scores, they blast that stupid fight song.
Is the Ryan Day "grind it out" approach the plan for second half?
Alston!!! Get him the ball!
OK inside the 30 again....no penalties!
Go for it!
I love our running game, but we might want to toss in a pass on 1st or 2nd down just to keep them guessing.
Why no play action??
TD !
That was a good drive. We just need to throw a bit more.
Awesome, now we have some breathing room. Time of possession is 35 minutes to 9 minutes.
Andre may be gone but the running game has not missed a beat. We just have multiple backs instead of just one. We are up to 259 yards rushing.
Now I feel better. I think Murphy can carry an offense.
Let me add another difference: Halftime adjustments #DazNotSpaz
Whelp just when you thought BC had the game in the bag
Well, when you blitz, it's gonna burn you at times. Let's hope that is not a momentum changer and the offense can put together another long drive.
Was the TD the result of Brown gamble. Keyed was blitzing. DBS cheating forward. Seemed like it
Plenty of guys are going to be wide open if we run like we do. Nice throw and catch.
Yay Bordner! Good job. The TD at Turtle speed. Ha!
I am not worried about losing this game, but I really think a stop is important on this drive. Need to set a tone for the season.
Mod, I believe a linebacker was blitzing on the UMass TD. I could be wrong, but at any rate, you subtract that play and the defense has played well. I'm a little concerned about the pass defense, especially when we go against ACC talent, but I'm hoping they can get better as the season progresses.
I think you have to give the offense a lot of credit. When Williams, the right guard, went down, that could have been tragic but they plugged in Kramer and did not miss a beat.
Yes Keyes blitzing
In a game like this Murphy needs to be careful. Don't get hurt in a game that is already over.
There goes Wade's redshirt.
