This won’t be a long post, because there isn’t much to add. Boston College hadn’t won an ACC football game since November 29, 2014. Saturday they beat NC State 21-14 in an embarrassing home loss for the Wolfpack. I’m not taking anything away from BC. Those players could have quit long ago, but they didn’t. …

Virginia vs Louisville was probably the one of the best under the radar games I’ve seen all year. Virginia for several years has been one of the worst ACC football programs.

Sunday night should have been one of the best games of the year. Arizona and Seattle was a playoff caliber matchup. The game itself was everything currently wrong with the NFL. It was a 6-6 abomination of a game. There was almost not any vertical passing game, zero TDs, and no offense. It was a …
