Preview & Prediction: Boston College Football vs Stanford
Can Lonergan stay hot? Despite the loss on Saturday, Dylan Lonergan put up some crazy passing stats: 34/45 passing, 390 yards, and 4 TDs with no INTs. For his first ever start against a real team, and on the road no less, it was a very impressive performance. But can he keep it up as the season marches on? I think he can, but he’ll need to prove it. Especially given the mediocre state of the BC rushing attack.
The BC defense needs to not be Swiss cheese. And they need to make their tackles. Stanford quarterback Ben Gulbranson is a step down in talent from what BC faced in Aidan Chiles of Michigan State, and he especially is not as mobile as Chiles. So if the Eagles can hunker down and stop the run, they should have a better outcome than what we saw last weekend.
