Boston College returns home after having just scored 33 points on a Bud Foster defense — the name may have carried more weight in the past than it does now, but it is still a respected unit against which the Eagles moved the ball. Louisville, on the other hand, has been more stout on that side, even though it did not look as such in the second half against Florida State last week, when the Cardinals allowed 35 points en route to a 42-31 defeat.
Just how full will Boston College’s hands be with Todd Grantham’s defense?
