Bobby Wolford, John Johnson featured ahead of bout with Louisville
As the team prepares for Saturday afternoon's matchup with the Cardinals of Louisville, much of the news surrounding Boston College is in regards to how the team can rebound from their loss to No. 5 Clemson this past weekend.
One of those stories is how junior DB John Johnson, like so many others at his position, have to turn the page and move onto the next play, regardless of previous results. Michael Vega of the Boston Globe reports on that, in addition to how BC can build off hard-fought loss to Clemson.
In the Boston Herald, Rich Thompson writes how BC's use of Bobby Wolford at fullback, a position that is often an archaic semi-slilled backfield appendage that lacks relevance in the age of spead offenses and sing-back sets, could be key to Saturday's game with Louisville.
Andrea Adelson of ESPN discusses how 2015 has changed from "Year of the QB" to "Year of the Defense", a result of 10 ACC teams being ranked in the top-40 for total defense in the nation, led by the Eagles at No. 1.
And Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com writes that the injuries to Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Vick puts former Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy in a perfect position to see NFL action.
