Rettig will be the next. The focus on the running/option game will leave us with NO QUARTERBACK for the forseeable future.<br /><br />This years team has less talent than last seasons. New coaches.

Spaziani didn't even TRY to win games. the guy was an utter joke and a disgrace.<br /><br />we aren't the most talented the team in the ACC. but we do have enough talent to scrape by and get some W's. Rettig is decent, Amidson is one of the better WRs in the ACC, and i think the freshman RBs (willis and Rouse) are going to open a lot of eyes.<br /><br />Defense literally could not be worse than it was last year. Brown has been good at turning units around the fly. again, there is some talent there (the LB corps is above average, the DBs are average at least, the Line i'm worried about).<br /><br />Knucklehad - the "pipeline to the NFL" for prostyle QBs is ridiculous.<br /><br />Tim Hasselbeck was a 3rd stringer who has less than 100 career completions in the NFL. Quinton Porter never attempted a pass in the NFL.<br /><br />Matt Hasselbeck had a nice NFL career and made a super bowl, and matty ice has really made a name for himself. that's it.<br /><br />BC athletics = O-Line U and hockey.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50422770960458218782013-08-01T09:03:11.755-04:002013-08-01T09:03:11.755-04:00We have some juice on Wall Street to.

We probably win three - very optimistic.<br /><br />Next season Addazio will have some of his own players. However, the QB play will be poor with Rettig gone.<br /><br />You are looking at 2015 as the first year where a 500 record is anywhere near possible(not impressed with the new QB recruits). With NO QB looking for a 500 record may be more realistic in 2016.<br /><br />I think Addazio hampered the program by saying he wants to focus on the run. Boston College is known for 2.5 things: 1)Its Law School, 2) Offensive Lineman going to the NFL and 2.5) Being a pipeline to the NFL of Pro-style QB's.
