Mehdi Abdesmad and the familiarity DC Don Brown Has With Wake Forest's Dave Clawson

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - In today's news involving Boston College Athletics, the focus is on one Eagle who is dominating at defensive end through the first five games of his senior season, and how his build gives him an advantage over opposing offenses.

Eric Avidon of the MetroWest Daily News writes how senior DL Mehdi Abdesmad is a unique force for the BC defense, and the value he provides to a Boston College team that is ranked among the best in several defensive categories.

Additionally, Michael Vega of the Boston Globe discusses how when Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson takes the field at Alumni Stadium on Saturday, he will be quite familiar with the one of the coaches across the sidelines, as he has previously coached against defensive coordinator Don Brown several times in the past.

The Eagles take on Wake Forest at Alumni Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 10, as part of homecoming celebrations at Boston College. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.
