In-game comments post: Maine

Don't take this game lightly! Maine beat a FBS team last year (ok, it was only UMass). But this will be a good test for our team's focus and maturity. Are they ready to compete every week? Can they handle the comedown off of the USC win? Let's hope so. Leave your thoughts and comments on the game below.

Those there: how full are the stands?

eagleboston said...

Looks like many no shows. Must be a lot of people trying to hit the Cape one last time.

eagleboston said...

Defense has to defend another short field.

eagleboston said...

Student section looks pretty full

ATL_eagle said...

Is anyone else's espn3 feed really delayed.

eagleboston said...

Wow, lucky they did not call 17 for pass interference.

eagleboston said...

Why are we passing?

eagleboston said...

Again, why are we passing?

ATL_eagle said...

This is the type of start I worried about.

ATL_eagle said...

Can the Defensive Line play offense for us this week? They seem to be the only ones that came to play.

eagleboston said...

Classic letdown game here.

No need to panic, but this team needs to get their heads right.

eagleboston said...

That TD is on Connor. There was no reason for him to reach over and grab the facemask. Need to clean up the penalties before ACC play.

eagleboston said...

Sherm is your playmaker and he has yet to touch the ball

eagleboston said...

One of my biggest pet peeves is when receivers run routes on 3rd down short of the sticks. We need to pick up this first down.

eagleboston said...

Spaz would never have gone for it there. Great call by Daz

eagleboston said...

Sherm!!!!!

eagleboston said...

Need to clean up these penalties!!

eagleboston said...

Not happy about the 3 but we just need to keep plugging away with the run. Maine is definitely going to wear down.

eagleboston said...

Wow, that QB is a big boy.

ATL_eagle said...

That is more like it.

eagleboston said...

Murphy is the best at faking handoffs of anyone!

ATL_eagle said...

Murphy keeping it should be our whole offense the rest of the game.

eagleboston said...

Is that his longest TD run of the season?

eagleboston said...

The lack of a passing game is killing BC. Cannot go into ACC play without a single threat in the passing game.

ATL_eagle said...

I understand passing to keep Maine honest, but I think we should run until we have a firm lead.

eagleboston said...

Where is the safety???

ATL_eagle said...

The ESPN3 feed is terrible I am way behind.

eagleboston said...

This team lost to Bryant. The horror!

ATL_eagle said...

My fear now is that guys will start pressing and trying to do too much. Just need one nice drive.

eagleboston said...

Tied with Maine deep in the second quarter. Meanwhile, a horrible Iowa team is hanging with Pitt. I'm really concerned about this BC team. The good news is we are young and will improve with each game. The bad news is we have no passing ability and our defensive backs are the worst I have seen at BC in a long time.

eagleboston said...

I agree ATL. Don't be pretty. Just keep pounding the football. Feed Sherm a few times and try to get up by 7.

eagleboston said...

They have pretty much shut down Hilliman today.

Danny Boy said...

I'm not sure why Willis isn't getting more touches. He really seems like the most explosive RB that we have. Certainly compared to rouse.

eagleboston said...

How does Bordner get so wide open?

There is the cushion we need. Nice drive.

Ouch, missed extra point. Boy, do we miss Freese.

ATL_eagle said...

The Bordner TD shows how wide open guys can be when the other team is so focused on our running.

ATL_eagle said...

The missed PAT is scary.

eagleboston said...

Danny, I agree. BC has the luxury of several backs and I think you need to go with who has the hot hand. That was Hilliman last week. Seems to be Willis today. Although Sherm had 2 nice runs in the first and has not received the ball since.

eagleboston said...

Maine got away with block in the back on that QB run for the first down.

eagleboston said...

Another sack by Josh!!!

ATL_eagle said...

We need points on this drive.

eagleboston said...

I love Sherm!!!!!!

eagleboston said...

OK, a minute left. Wish we had those timeouts we burned.

eagleboston said...

Phillips needs to haul that in.

Danny Boy said...

I guess I just don't understand using Rouse. He's like a poor man's Willis. I don't like running Alston exclusively out of the backfield, but it's clear we need to find more ways to get the ball into his hands.

JBQ said...

That facemask by 90 was hard to take.

eagleboston said...

Dammit, we are so thin at O-line.

eagleboston said...

Pitt just lost to Iowa. Bad loss for the ACC and leaves me very concerned that BC is not going to fare well in ACC play.

eagleboston said...

3 for 3 on 4th down today.

eagleboston said...

Maine is getting tired.

eagleboston said...

OK, let's clear the starters and put in the scrubs.

eagleboston said...

Va Tech-Georgia Tech is n awesome game. GT trying to score the winning field goal.

Danny Boy said...

Definitely time to bring in Wade. Give the kid some reps.

eagleboston said...

Va Tech loses 2 straight at home. Wow!

eagleboston said...

We better not see Murphy the rest of the game.

Thanks, Daz, for bringing back O-line U!

eagleboston said...

It's also nice to see so many sacks after the dearth of sacks in the Spaz era.

eagleboston said...

Johnson having a nice game.

eagleboston said...

Wade's first pass was nice.

eagleboston said...

First 4th down BC did not convert.

eagleboston said...

Don't rest on Colorado State. They are fully capable of coming into Chestnut Hill and beating the Eagles.
