Five Takeaways from Boston College's Opening Loss to Cincy
- Boston College's offense took too long to get going against Cincinnati, with early play-calling reduced largely to Evan Dickens and Mason McKenzie runs before Cincinnati stopped respecting the pass.
- Michael Crounse's center injury is viewed as a major problem because backup centers struggled in camp and DJ Williams had issues in the second half.
- Boston College's special teams were called a mess after a costly punt bounce, a missed 35-yard field goal by Luca Lombardo, and punts rolling into the end zone.
- Boston College's defense missed projected key players Onye Nwosisi and Syair Torrence, battled for stretches, but eventually wore down because the offense could not sustain drives.
- The review warned Boston College could face another long season if it loses to Rutgers next Friday after an emphatic opening loss.
