The Eagles head coach spoke on preparation ahead of the team’s game against the Tigers.
The No. 24 Boston College Eagles football team has started preparations for its Week 3 game against the No. 6 Missouri Tigers in Columbia, Mo.
O’BRIEN: That’s great man, awesome. 24. That’s fantastic. Nah, I think it’s great for BC but really that’s really not our focus at all. It’s really about one day at a time, trying to get better, really. This is what I say to the team. Every day I go into the team meeting, ‘Can we get better today? Can we be better today than we were yesterday?’ You only have a few choices right, you either get better, you stay the same, or you get worse. So, we’ve got to continue to try and get better every day.
O’BRIEN: Yeah, no question. Not going to really get into what I'm scouting for, but they're a really good team. Offensively, very, very good offensive line, very athletic, tough quarterback, Brady Cook, very, very good player. Can throw and run. Two really good running backs and very, very good at wide receiver. I'd say at least three or four of their wide receivers will play in the NFL. So we got a big challenge ahead of us, big, big challenge.
O’BRIEN: Yeah, big time challenge, he's really good. He can run all the routes. Got good size, good speed, great hands, big time challenge. They have other guys too that are very challenging. So it's going to be, I mean, it's the best team we've played, no question about it, probably best team we played, BC-wise in a couple years, to be honest with you. So yes, it’s gonna be a big challenge. These guys will bring good energy. Our guys are good.
O’BRIEN: Yeah, no, it's a great point. This program's won, like you said. I mean, it's not like this program's never won. This program's won before. We've only won two games so my approach to these guys is like, you know what, look at the end of the day, it's pretty cool to walk around campus and your fellow students say, “hey, great game on Saturday.” I get that. I'm totally all about that. I understand that.
