Very true

Nothing at the 33 mark. Damn you're a moron.

maybe that was 33 seconds if you are on dial-up....

I didn't see Wake Forest-BC, but somehow, I think I saw that game last year. I feel your pain, BC fans.

Where did hedge go after that fuck up? Pussy.

BC is wasting the most perfect defensive unit they have ever had. What a waste.

BC currently at #3 defensively in the S&P rankings (opponent adjusted advanced stats).

Clemson at #10 offensively so something's gonna give tomorrow (hopefully defense > offense).

#1 defense my ass. 261 yards given up before half-time?

Hey look. BC actually played somebody.

What happened to that once in a lifetime defense IB? Hell, what happened to IB?

ESPN's headline does recognize the better defense on the field Saturday...

"Louisville's defense stifles Boston College 17-14"

I knew they lost to some shitty team. Just couldn't remember who.

S&P Defense: Boston College #2
FEI Defense: Boston College #4
NCAA Total Defense: Boston College #2

Wins: Maine, Howard, NIU

Losses: FSU, Duke, Wake, Clemson, Louisville

So much for defense

What's so hard to understand, especially for a fucking Gator fan?

Elite defense, horrible offense. Was 4-8 so long ago that you've forgotten it?

Nope.

By the way, S&P and FEI are opponent-adjusted, meaning that if you perform well against a good offense you get much more of a bump than performing well against a poor offense. So yes, their wins have come against bad teams (except NIU, they're above average) but even in their losses, their defense has performed quite well. I was wrong about BC - they've turned out to be much better defensively than I thought. And while I think Clemson and maybe UF have a better overall defense due to better athletes at almost every position, BC schemes very well, tackles well, and rarely gets caught out of position.

And plays cupcakes.

IB's prediction continues to play out strong, as BC has the #1 defense in NCAA total defense statistics (#3 in FEI, #2 in S&P). What is the most remarkable part of that stat is that they are getting absolutely no help from the other side of the ball, as their offense ranks DEAD LAST in NCAA total offense (3rd worst in FEI, 4th worst in S&P).

UF had a similar situation a couple of years ago but I can't remember ever seeing such a discrepancy between the two units - it's possible that it has never happened before.
