Boston College suffered their second consecutive loss last week when they took on Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons would be the only team to score during the game, finishing the match in a 3-0 outcome. The game brought things into perspective when it comes to the Eagles’ gameplay, with quarterback, Troy Flutie fumbling the ball with under two minutes left, and kicker, Colton Lichtenberg missing two field-goal attempts from 26 and 31 yards. And while Boston College gained 270 yards to Wake Forest’s 142, it still wasn’t enough to secure them a victory.
The Eagles’ 2015 season has been up and down so far, and ball reception has been spread out fairly widely across the roster. Thadd Smith has claimed five for 141 yards, while Charlie Callinan has taken six for 105 yards, with both players scoring single touchdowns. Jeff Smith has carried 38 for 257 yards and claimed three rushing touchdowns in the process, and Tyler Rouse has carried 54 for 240 yards and recorded five touchdowns altogether. Boston College now need to work together as a strong cohesive unit to put up a decent enough fight against Clemson.
Speaking of which, the Tigers managed to secure their fifth consecutive victory of the 2015 season last week, finishing their game against Georgia Tech’s Yellow Jackets with a 43-24 score. Quarterback, Deshaun Watson threw his most yards this season along with two touchdowns to tight end, Jordan Leggett. Number nine running back, Wayne Gallman provided his third consecutive 100-yard game and two rushing touchdowns, while Clemson’s defence line held Georgia Tech to their fewest rushing yards for some time.
In reference to Watson, he has completed 89 passes of his 129 attempts for 990 yards and recorded 11 touchdowns so far this season. Gallman has carried 89 so far this season for 536 yards and five touchdowns, while Watson has carried 45 for 202 yards and a single touchdown. Receptions have been claimed by Artavis Scott mainly, with 29 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Kicker, Greg Huegel has earned 21 extra points for Clemson as well as making six field goals.

The Eagles are playing great defense but will it be enough against the Tigers? We don’t think so. Clemson has also played very strong defense and in our opinion are superior to anything Boston College has gone up against this year. That doesn’t bode well for an offense that has averaged six points per game in their last four. The home team managed 20 and 24 points against Louisville and Notre Dame two very good defenses and that same number should get them the cover here. It’s a big line so don’t load up on this.
