Boston College Eagles

Boston College finished out their last year in the Big East with a couple of poor performances.  They lost the outright Big East conference title, followed by a very poor showing against Syracuse in their bowl game.  This season the Eagles could very well be in for a rude awakening in the more competitive and talent-rich ACC.  BC returns 14 starters in all from last year’s team (7 on both sides of the ball), but with a much weaker schedule of opponents last season this team put up some pretty mediocre numbers.  To contend in the ACC they are going to have to put together more of a consistent effort on offense, which may be easier said than done with new faces at quarterback as well as their #1 & #2 wide receivers.  Defensively they will likely be weak against the pass once again with new faces in the secondary, which will spell nothing but trouble for this team in the pass-heavy ACC.

Boston College, unlike Miami last year, will have some growing pains coming into this talented ACC field.  They open up their ACC schedule at home against Miami followed immediately by a trip to Clemson to battle the Tigers.  In the long run it was probably a good move for this team to make a move to the more publicized conference, but for the Eagles in 2005 it could be a very long season.  They may compete for the second or third spot in the Atlantic Division of the conference, but anything more than that would be considered miraculous.
