Wade was billed as a dual threat but I don't think he's a runner at all IMOmarcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648614693947738061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-52572032536149970802016-10-07T10:54:43.574-04:002016-10-07T10:54:43.574-04:00JBQ - Wade didn't even get the chance to run a...JBQ - Wade didn't even get the chance to run away, I don't think. He got completely bulldozed in my recollection, but I get your point.<br /><br />If Towles can't do it early, I'd like to see Wade.<br /><br />In my memory, Penn State has put 50 up on us twice at Alumni Stadium. Once in my senior year (50 to 28) Flutie's sophomore year (52 to 17) when he threw for 520 yards, but we couldn't get it into the end zone. Obviously we ouldn't stop Penn State that day.<br /><br />Will Clemson surpass 52?<br /><br />Syracuse and VT have put up 40+ points at Alumni, and I'm sure others may have as well. But 50?<br /><br />I'm hoping it doesn't happen tonight.<br /><br />Go BC - shock us all and give the defense something to work with.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-8979850594887507442016-10-07T09:23:36.718-04:002016-10-07T09:23:36.718-04:00@EL MIZ: Wade is 5 ft 11, 190 or so and Towles is ...@EL MIZ: Wade is 5 ft 11, 190 or so and Towles is 6 ft 5, 250. There's your answer. Wade already broke his leg running away from a sack.

"STEVE ADDA...Innovation to win by Daz. Nope.<br /><br />"STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, <b>we absolutely believe at Boston College that you need to run the football to win</b> <i>[said the man who can't win]</i>. But what we like to do is establish some consistency on offense, and we've been throwing the ball more this year [<i>and have really sucked at that</i>] than we have in the past with more balance. We'd like to continue that. Obviously the goal is to keep our defense off [<i> gee, steve, really??</i>] the field and stay on the field and score some points because if you don't it could be a long night for you <i>[Ya think Daz?</i>]. However we can create some time of possession, I think that's the operative word right there. We'd like to create time of possession <i>[no, steve, create f'ing points for Pete's Sake]</i>."mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-86255203708255234492016-10-06T14:10:17.536-04:002016-10-06T14:10:17.536-04:00I've got this feeling that BC is going to wipe...I've got this feeling that BC is going to wipe the board with Clemson.The whisper about campus is that Addazio has seen the light and had decided to go for broke. The team members are astonished at the wide open game plan he had developed. It is based on the defense stepping up and stuffing Clemson's quarterback in much the same way that Louisville did for a while last week and playing a Brady-type offense with the tight end and wide receivers being hit with short passes and having them pick up big yardage after the catch.Apparently Rick Pitino is so upset at what happened to his team he flew up to Boston and spent time with Addazio helping him develop this plan. Pitono is still hoping to play in the championship game and the road to do that is to have Clemson lose. The Pitino/Addazio meeting is hush-hush since it breaks all sorts of ACC rules so it is best my source said to keep it quiet so I ask you not to spread it around.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be nice if all that was true? baldysheehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206103666610247439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-23612955013998996392016-10-06T13:54:37.323-04:002016-10-06T13:54:37.323-04:0048 - 6 Clemson over BC.

It's a fiasco.<br /><br />Nonetheless, Daz crows how this is an improvement over the VT game, especially for his "young" team. One player takes to Twitter to call Daz a "jackass" - he is found out and dismissed. <br /><br />Daz wins the "Baghdad Bob" award for self-delusion.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-15045743978406503372016-10-06T13:43:49.610-04:002016-10-06T13:43:49.610-04:00I hope to see ...

Darius Wade get a shot this week. <br /><br />Towles has been a total disappointment. 50% completions, doesn't play like a 5th year. we get two more seasons of Wade, he's looked good in limited time, and he's been in the program now for almost 3 full calendar years (he grayshirted, so he was on campus January 2014) - i find it hard to believe he couldn't be as good as Towles. hopefully we give him a shot in a non-garbage time situation and he proves up to the challenge.<br /><br />will also be interesting to see if the fan support comes back - the second half of last week's game reminded me of a BC Rugby scrimmage being held at Alumni that I once attended. Clemson always travels well, it could turn into a de facto home game if our fans leave in droves (or don't show up at all). Thanks to Bates and Daz for captaining this sinking ship!EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.com
