The oddsmakers don't like our chances and last year's game wasn't fun. But under the lights at Alumni could mean a whole different vibe. Let's make it a good one. Leave your thoughts and comments below.

ACC busy making a joke of itself this week already
OK, Thomas...let's see in the ACC: Miami's winning, NC State, too, also Duke, UVA a winner, GTech winning, Pitt & 'Cuse too...That's a joke? ... Who's left?
Oh, yes. The Eagles of BC... Hope you have them losing, too, cuz then we got a winner coming! Always Believe in BC? Why not? Those other jokes are winning... ob la di, ob la da. Go Eagles!!! Beat those Trojans!
Mmason--I believe Thomas is referring to the ranked ACC teams so far: bad losses by Louisville and Va Tech.
And that doesn't include the pathetic Ga Tech performance either.
Yeah mmason is obviously 3 sheets to the wind already, but that statement was made when VA Tech was down 21, Pitt was down 16(to FIU), and GT was in a dog fight with Georgia Southern. And then Louisville lost.
GO BC!
Rainy but seems like a good crowd - USC has a strong contingent here.
7:50pm and 5K in the stands.
In all seriousness - our fans suck with this late arriving s*%t.
Paul Johnson needs to go.
Up 35-10 at half, down 38-35 with two min left, late TD to win.
Ga Southern's first year as FBS. They should've beaten NCSU.
High school offense not good for recruiting.
ACC is minor league football.
More USC fans than Boston fans for the run out.
What's up with the end zone seats?
Great play call on 3rd down. Or not so much.
Big Jack, if what you say is correct, that is very disappointing. I don't remember this lack of support back in the 80's but maybe my memory is hazy.
USC gets the lucky bounce that BC never seems to get.
You can't run outside on this USC defense.
Nice drop.
My God, we have recruited receivers that can't catch a pass right in their hands. The horror!
That one miss is a game changer and may cost us 7 points. Frustrating!
Yeah, nice downfield block. Cheaters.
Would be nice to have WR who can catch.
This is all on Callinan. Unacceptable!
I think the defense has been playing very well but you can;t expect them to defend a short field.
Much better tackling, though.
No skill outside.
Put in Flutie! He has the "it" factor.
We're are in big trouble. Our ball control offense is not designed for the comeback. It does not help that the offense can't get one first down.
Keep running inside
Hillman is a stud.
Smash mouth!!! I love it!
SC cheerleaders. They always win.
Leave it to us to miss the Xp.
Classic, every time I go negative, we score.
Keep pounding inside.
Darn, missed PAT. Boy do we miss Freese.
Always the best in college.
Another short field. Killing BC!
#89 really blew containment on the kick off
Out coached on the screen.
Great call.
That was way too easy. BC looks like it's stuck in quicksand.
That's a dagger. You think you are back in it, shitty kick-off coverage, then a quick TD. Ouch.
Their 55 schollies are worth 155 of ours.
Like the up tempo.
Just let Murphy run all day. He's the only guy fast enough.
Running right at them.
Gotta get the def to make a play, huh?
The defense is so much better when they are not forced to defend a short field.
Don't like timeouts coming out of a timeout.
Would prefer to keep running right at them.
They can't have depth with the sanctions. Can't hear the tube, sure they've mentioned that.
CT, they are talking about it every 2 minutes.
Ok. Thanks.
We needed to get a first down on that drive. Got to wear these guys down, but now they get much-needed rest.
Dropped passes are crushing us!
Wow. Now that's bad.
My kingdom for a decent WR.
Murphy is just not a passer. He really makes BC a one-dimensional team.
But, this one is on Bordner. Another score before then half will be devestating
Call a timeout so we can get the ball back.
Can Josh Bordner just take a seat on the bench and never get into the game again?
Big stop. Nice. Def is a thousand times better.
Good tackling. Amazing what the other team's uniforms will do.
Speed is good.
The Sherminator!!!!
Wow Alston is fast. Where has he been so far?
Wow, this is such a better feeling than last
year.
They do need to find more ways to get the ball to Sherm.
Damn, I wish we didn't waste that timeout coming out of a timeout.
Very impressed with play-calling and execution.
Tackling, too.
Good coaching.
Go for it. WTF?
Get two yds and spike it.
Kicking game is atrocious.
Wow. Conservative.
We're crushing them with the run.
Why is BC kicking a long field goal in the rain on third down with 19 seconds left?!? Anyone could see that coming, esp. after the freebie.
Hate the call. Play to win.
Otherwise, good half.
Get the ball to Sherm and Murphy.
What the hell is Daz talking about? It was 3rd and 2; a first down stops the clock! 19 seconds is enough for at least 2 plays with a FG attempt.
Idk what will happen but this is the most fun I have had at a game in Alumni since pre Spaziani for sure.
Don't like this no receiver nonsense at all. Have to keep USC honest somewhat.
Noi matter what the outcome, I can't believe I didm;t follow the old motto under cowboy Jack -- Always Believe in BC.
I'm hoping USC starts to wear down. Defense playing awesome!
I'm pretty surprised that USC hasn't started throwing the ball down the field. BC's secondary is pretty bad, and USC has the athletes to get open. It's like Sark never even scouted BC's first two games.
BC defense went away from what worked and only sent 4 that entire drive. Fun times. Typical BC though.
More zone option please!
USC gets a star defensive player back for the second half.
Although, why wouldn't BC go for 2 even after the penalty? No difference between a 12 and 13 point lead at this point. BC needed that 14 point lead. Really odd decisions by Daz today.
Man, I'm still nervous.
This is killing me.....damned miss extra point.
Which begs the question, why the hell did they not try for 2 again?
Offense needs to stay loose. Get just 1 first down and game is over.
436 yards to 20. Wow!!!!!!!
Is this the same team that played Pitt?
I was at that '88 game. Brutal.
Red Bandana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats ATL, for calling this game.
Where does this fit in BC history? Certainly the biggest game since Ryan's comeback at Va Tech, but I think this might be even bigger than that.
Huge, huge win for the program.
Pitt is way better than people think.
I will gladly eat my earlier prediction. This zone option needs to be utilized prominently going forward.
I appreciate all the comments. I kept off of the blog and twitter in order not to jinx us.
As I said at 5:39: ALWAYS BELIEVE IN BC...
The Murph is legit, the line is a Force, the special teams are amazing and the defense grew up. These are kids who learned and coaches who prepared. BC finally has a team that doesn't back down or play soft. Go Eagles! Great Day for Boston College!
(Oh, and ,Thomas -- better watch your mouth, boy. This is BC. Have some respect. Don't post on the ACC when you don't know what you're talking about. Who's a joke now, Tommy? Wait--You wouldn't be Tommy Trojan, would you?)
That was one of the biggest one week turn-arounds that I can remember.
That was coaching.
Any Daz disbelievers now? Tackling is about attitude. Day took advantage of what Murphy does best. Hilliman is the future.
At the risk of hyperbole, and knowing that Stanford game took its toll, this is a program builder. Recruit. Recruit. Recruit.
Imagine if this QB could throw. Imagine if we had any WRs who scared people.
Not especially talented defensively, but it's amazing what good tackling can do. And we got more pressure on the QB than my Falcons have gotten in two seasons!
We have the blueprint for the year. Stay ahead of down and distance.
Thank goodness USC cheated with Reggie Bush.
Didn't see Pat Haden on the field this week. Can he play defensive tackle?
One more thing before my last beer.
Speed.
It kills.
Please. Recruit. More.
Mmason, ignoring the fact that the ACC did get pushed around most of the day and then bashing me for commenting about it is silly at best, classless and ignorant at worst. As a BC alum, I'm as happy as you are we sent the Trojans on a 6 hour flight back home with a L.
Enjoy those post victory margaritas!
