It is the last game of the year and a chance for Addazio to get to eight wins. The weather is freezing. The opponent is old school and we are playing in Yankee Stadium. Let's do this!

Next to BC, Iowa is the team I have viewed the most. I wish I were in a sports bar in Des Moines proudly wearing the BC colors, but I am visiting family in North Carolina.
Iowa is eerily similar to BC. They recruit 2 and 3 stars, coach them up and put more players than they should into the NFL.
BC’s Dillon gets all of the press, but Akrum Woolley is a very dangerous back. I’m a little concerned about BC’s depleted defense.
Stanley is a big, imposing QB. you cannot just rush 4 against him. You need to blitz.
The Iowa linebackers are exceptional. BC is going to have to be more balanced to keep them off balance.
Iowa, like BC, will slip tight ends put for passes. BC needs to be aware of this.
Will Yankee Stadium turn to the west and wave to the kids at Iowa Children’s Hospital at the end of the 1st quarter? That wold be a cool recognition of the best new tradition in college football.
Go Eagles! Eagles are tougher than hawks.
Like I said earlier. Less than two picks and we win.
Good stop. Bad QB. But still. Good stop.
Holding them to a field goal was huge there.
Good return as consistently by Walker. He has been a bright spot all year. Let's see if Wade can overcome his mistake.
That away, Wade!
Nice pass. Need that to loosen up for Dillon
Icy
Why aren’t the Eagles wearing cleats?
Nice little drive. Good punt. Field sucks. Northern bowls are dumb.
I was just going to ask the same, it looks like our skill position players have no cleats or turf shoes. They are slipping all over the place
D
Good enough
Kurt Frenez in a hoodie in 17 degrees is 2017 example of Bowie Kuhn in the World Series
Look it up kids
Lady on tv saying BC is trying various shoes. Hope the find the right ones.
Did Daz just burn Lewis’ redshirt ? I don’t remember him playing earlier.... could be the best #11 receiver since Bucky Godbolt
Omg!
Dillons unbelievable!
BC is winning the line of scrimmage. Great drive!!!
Stop their run we'll be ok.
Or that.
😬
They got a back too!
Woodley is dangerous. You have to stop him or BC will lose.
Wadley. Damn spell check
That’s a BS call!
Booger is right, keep that flag in your pocket
Big 10 crew?
Sucker pass
Referees are what we pay to see, right?
Like watching the Falcons-Saints game.
Absurd.
They’re 3 point favorites. Hmm!
They did the wave. Love it!
solid blocking on that smith run
Did Dillon get hurt?
The slipping just makes it dumb.
Wow! BC doesn’t do that! Go Eagles 🦅
Me like!!!
Finally a bounce going our way.
We are definitely the better team on both sides of the ball. Let’s just hope the field conditions and refs do not become bigger factors in this game. Then it may require Daz to perform some strategery....and we know how that usually goes.....
Good sack
contributions from lots of guys
Beltzers down.
These announcers are brilliant
Our B defense is better than their A offense.
Touched a Hawkeye and another guy touched it from end zone as I saw it.
Looks good; keep your feet; great run
Just learned a good BC fried’s wife has Parkinson’s disease. Prayers
Their O-line is about as good as Booger McFarland is as a booth analyst.
God bless her ‘66
We usually miss into that endzone.
why rush?
Why no time out pre kick. ?
Stupid - kid needs not rush
BC seems to be slipping more than Iowa.
Wrong cleats/shoes??
Dominating but we are only up by 7. I said this would come down to a field goal. Hope it is not that miss by Lichtenberg that decides the game.
Answer: Daz is a natural meat head
Why the rush? Evens SA was confused.. Special team coach has to do better.
Their 10 points were a gift. Let that D continue to dominate their O line. Give Dillon the rock.
Even*
What are the linemen wearing?
Maybe they should put on the kinda cleats I wore in HS.
Should have used the TO. Thanks for not swearing coach
BC needs to put Iowa away early in the 3rd. The conditions are just begging for one team to break the other's spirit.
Right Bill we need a stop right off the bat
Please Daz this is a winnable game, don’t screw this up
It’s about 22 degrees now and forecast to get in the teens. So score first and often early.
Looks like a small crowd. Not surprising in this weather. I did not drive the 6 miles from Fort Lee.
For some reason my comments are being deleted. Perishtheeagle
I guess they have shoe problems too
This is way too tight. BC is letting Iowa hang close and Wadley or Fant will blow this game open. Really needed that field goal at the end of the half and the bs touchdown off the unsportsmanlike penalty may come back to haunt the Eagles.
Defense is playing great. But I worry about the depth.
Oh, oh, Wadley getting hot.
Oh, boy. Not good
Oops
Sadly is great too.
Wadley
So much for domination. We did not capitalize at critical points and now they have all of the momentum. Offense needs to answer.
Ugh.
Our defense is too depleted. Is Beltzer out for the game?
Nice throw. We're ok.
I think Iowa has their game plan figured out and adjustments made? Can Addazio do the same?
Has he ever?
Iowa is not good. But that 3rd down run is all u need to know.
Really poor play calling on that last drive.
Ferentz completely out-coached Addazio at half
That was a much needed stop by the D.
No. we're ok. This is our 2nd string defense. And they're still better.
The offense is just flat
The staff has no confidence throwing the ball downfield.
Even when he easily has the better talent, the Daz struggles. Only he could have a 6-1 lead in yards at the half and be in a close game.
Btw, Nice use of his last TO at end of half.
Daz will now make pre4th Q adjustments. Not.
Garbage 3rd quarter
BC does not have the better talent. These teams are even.
Why would they throw a screen pass in front of the Outlaw Josey Jewel? That is just plain stupid.
Disagree. We are playing frosh lbs.
Forget Dillon. Wadley is the beast now.
CT, they have 3 O-linemen out.
Surprised Iowa passed on 2nd down. We have not been able to stop the run
Ok. What does BC have defensively?
Pretty impressed actually.
Oh and Wade.
Great, this could be the game-winning field goal. Time to pray to my deceased son. He got us a win versus Louisville in football and Duke in basketball.
Watching this, I'm actually pretty optimistic for next yr. wow. The field stinks. Backup QB. Backup defense.
Forest. Trees.
CT-I agree. The defense is playing well all things considered. The offense has stalled out. That is the issue here. Also kick off coverage has been uncharacteristicly horrible.
Sweeney!
is that Bucky effen Dent over Jim Reid's shoulder in the booth? Not a good vibe
sweeney having a big game
What is with all of the false starts today?
This is going to OT again, isn't it?
Pick 6. Coming.
This game could come down to Lichtenberg’s miss before half. Frustrating!
Problem with this game is if BC wins it will reinforce Dazzoloser to play not to lose instead of playing to win
Finally called a hold on Iowa.
Great D there!
Let’s kill that clock with 6
Yards are 378-158 and it's a tie game..
Ok D your time
Bad
Fumble. Big gain
Ugggghhh
Damn, I guess my son was an Iowa fan.
And quick TD.
Oh my
O no!
Too bad our QB can’t throw like that
Wasn’t wade’s “fumble” a forward pass?
Yeah. Wade is simple. There is no reason for this game to be close. Except. QB.
Next yr should be pretty good. See ya then.
Problem with this game is if BC wins it will reinforce Dazzoloser to play not to lose instead of playing to win
Of all the bad play calling we’ve seen from the BC offense over the last few years I’ve never seen it as bad as it is tonight. It’s truly unbelievable. It’s a bowl game you have nothing to lose why not take some chances and actually try and win the game? Instead handoff 1st and 2nd down when it’s not working and put yourself in 3rd and long where the whole world knows you are going to pass. Truly unbelievable..and for the record Lindstrom is a piece of garbage. He has gotten continually beat over his career yet for whatever reason he continues to get hyped..what an absolute abortion this game has been...
Really pissed about that unsportsmanlike call in the first half. Credit Iowa for making adjustments and staying in the game. Credit Addazio for giving it away with stupid 2nd half play calls.
Outscored 17-3 in 2H. Par for the course for the worst coach in the country. He is what he is after five long years, but some stooges on this board still cling to the irrational hope he will somehow, at age 58, figure it all out.
The unsportsmanlike call was an embargo all those who call themselves a referree. If that was a penalty than the same penalty should have been called against the Iowa receiver who caught the long pass in the 3rd Qtr when he stood up and made the first down signal in close proximity to the defender. How always that any different?
Embarrassment
You are right I hate to say
3 minutes to go and you are running right at Jewel? Stupid!
Hey Daz...note to self in case you haven’t noticed, the run isn’t working.
ABSOLUTELY unbelievable
Hey Daz..another note..there is only 1:42 left
game. see you next season
Ha. Horrible.
Possible to Fire Daz after this debacle?
The party’s over. 😌
Crap!
Dillon has slipped on the logo at midfield all game. And he hands it to him there with less than two minutes to go so he can slip again
I was trying to give Daz the benefit of the doubt after this season but tonight has sealed it for me. What an absolute disgrace. This game shouldn’t have been close....
Not another team in football runs 3/5 plays down 7 with less than two minutes to go. Only fan base in America that equates going 7-6 with a bunch of wins over shitty teams with winning the Rose Bowl.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Addazio era at BC in a nutshell.
Outcoached. Clown show got to go.
Total yds..BC 386 and Iowa 198..great game Daz! Unfreakingbelivable
I don't even understand why I invest so much energy into watching sports.
I need to reevaluate my life.
Dillon saved Daz this year..he’s the only reason he will still have a job unfortunately
Imagine being one of the suckers who spent good money to go freeze their ass off to watch this idiot coach?
I feel bad for Wade. Not good. But loyal.
My brother, who is an Iowa State fan just said Addazio is the worst game day coach he’s ever seen.
I'm done. Gonna watch another team until Dazzoloser is gone
Will be interesting to see how many of those early commits back out after watching this debacle...
Unknown, it will be a long wait. He’ll retire from BC after another five to ten long years.
So, so painful....
Let’s see what happens with a HEALTHY Jon Baker, a HEALTHY Connor Strachan, a HEALTHY AB.
Remind me how many ACC games did bc win a few years back.
Dazoshit reverted to his old timid ways (two runs up the middle and a dropped pass) and we lost. Sound and look familiar?
That’s all great but with the same HC...you will still get what you got tonight..
Idiot like Speedie are why the administration laughs at real fans who demand BC at least try to live up to its motto, ever to excel.
That game was lost purely due to being out-coached. 100%
Blah blah blah. I’m an idiot. Big f’n deal.
Yeah. I'm a cynic. But if we stay healthy, we'll be good. Wade cost us. We'll be good next yr.
Winnable game that became a typical loss. Daz did not do much to help the cause but the game really turned on four factors:
1. Two picks off deflections
2. Fumble during late drive
3. Dillon having issues with footing while Wadley having success
4. Wade ok but clearly not difference maker
There is certainly a reason for more optimism next year. BC should win all of their non-conference games so an 8-4 season should be the minimum expectation.
As in, “It will be beautiful”, right?
One person cost us. It wasn’t Wade.
Like I said. If Dillon survives his 40 carries and Wade throws less than 2 ints we win. Neither one happened.
TGS is a dumb bitch.
Never to excel!
The 9:57 comment is stupid. Just like the commenter.
