Spoiler alert - a lot, as the Eagles move to 4-2 while boosting UVA to its first 2-0 start in ACC play since 2019.
Make no mistake about it - Boston College looked its worst all season in Saturday's ACC loss to Virginia. The Eagles fell 24-14 in the roadFrom quarterback play to allowing the comeback victory, Boston College has a lot to clean up this week as the team gets a short bye before its next contest. So, what exactly went wrong for BC on the road?Thomas Castellanos has been rock steady in the time he's seen for Boston College thus far, but that script was the first to flip on Saturday.
For first year head coach Bill O'Brien's offense to run smoothly, the signal caller has to be on point duty, and that didn't happen on Saturday. Boston College's last four drives all ended in a turnover one way or another, and that can't happen.Speaking of O'Brien's offense, the run game stayed on the bus. BC finished with just 65 yards on the ground, which comes in at even less than the 68 yards the team managed in its only earlier loss against Missouri.
In both of the Eagles' losses this season, the squad fell short of the century mark as a team on the ground. That mark is a pivotal point for the O'Brien offense which becomes one dimmensional without that threat.Time after time, this Boston College team has emerged from the locker room at the halftime break a different team. O'Brien has spoken to the media several times about getting his team off to a better start, and that looked to be the case on Saturday after BC went up 14-0.
