Plus BC had a few big leads this year that they tried to sit on so they didn't bring much pressure (CSU, Va Tech, even Penn St).

That was a heart breaking game.eagle1331https://www.blogger.com/profile/13479214563300900733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57093505484606112782015-01-16T10:38:56.670-05:002015-01-16T10:38:56.670-05:00Ohliger may have had trouble kicking, but the guy ...Ohliger may have had trouble kicking, but the guy could run.<br /><br />I was at the Bowl victory in Charlotte over UNC - kicker Ryan Ohliger took a fake field goal into the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown run that sealed Boston College's 37-24 victory over North Carolina in the Continental Tire Bowl.......<br /><br />My biggest disappointment was the Penn State bowl game - just like last year, we weren't ready defensively, and our offensive game plan was very curious at times.<br /><br />The loss was on the coaches for sure.<br /><br />Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-19593928996983516952015-01-16T10:32:19.969-05:002015-01-16T10:32:19.969-05:00Thomas - I think it was Ohliger - not sure of the ...Thomas - I think it was Ohliger - not sure of the spelling.<br /><br />Ryan Ohlinger or Ohliger.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-25904371355275686062015-01-16T10:24:54.061-05:002015-01-16T10:24:54.061-05:00OSU, the national champs had two common opponents ...OSU, the national champs had two common opponents with BC. Both teams played Penn. St. to overtime. BC beat VT at Blacksburg and OSU lost at home. Shows BC is on the same level as the champs. Atl is right about the Pitt game. They played 13 games this year. They were in 12 of them. Pitt got about 300 yards rushing. Take that away and BC probably has the top rush defense in the land. The Pitt contest was a short week. UMass played a tough game and BC's top O-lineman was knocked out. Pitt had a cakewalk with Delaware but BC's tackling was the worst of the year. 2. The kicking game in football is similar to foul shooting in b-ball. It should be routine but if you are ineffective in that area close games are often lost that shouldn't have been. In the State super bowl Lucas Denis caught a TD and had a pick six. He also held on extra points. Having a defensive player be the holder may be a better idea than an offensive one. They can be on the sidelines taking practice snaps prior to the kick. The d gave up 300 yards or so per game this year. Last year it was over 400. It was much improved. 3. The tv ratings for the playoffs( Rose, Sugar and title game) were strong. About 90 million for those three. Add in the other 35 bowls and about 200 million viewers watched. Why is college football post season worth 600 million dollars for 200 million viewers and MLB gets $1.5 billion a year for fewer viewers? Congress has to look at this disparity.NEDofSavinHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337433376275407168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-90333296842293004972015-01-16T08:29:17.746-05:002015-01-16T08:29:17.746-05:00Who was the kicker before Aponavicius that was ter...Who was the kicker before Aponavicius that was terrible and also got into trouble off the field?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738249202468643946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-68233401776222923372015-01-16T07:19:15.204-05:002015-01-16T07:19:15.204-05:00I think you have to add inability to catch a pass....I think you have to add inability to catch a pass.
