Who will WIN this matchup?

Connecticut Huskies (3-7)

@ Boston College Eagles (4-6)

 

• The line for this game is Boston College by 8 points.

• Boston College and Connecticut are plummeting down the stretch and will try to salvage something from their remaining games, beginning with a showdown in Chestnut Hill, Mass. on Saturday. The Eagles snapped a long ACC losing streak at North Carolina State last month but then dropped consecutive games to Louisville and Florida State by a combined margin of 97-14.

Towles has minus-41 yards rushing in the last three games after gaining 283 in the first seven contests.

• The Eagles have some quarterback issues of their own, as graduate transfer Patrick Towles is coming off a dismal showing (3-of-11, 29 yards) versus Florida State. He has one TD, three interceptions and has completed 48.1 percent of his passes over the last four games, and backup Darius Wade will continue to get a few reps according to Addazio. The Eagles rank last in the country in total offense with 295.5 yards per game.

• Thomas has at least 100 yards receiving in seven of his 10 games.

• Towles has minus-41 yards rushing in the last three games after gaining 283 in the first seven contests.

• Former BC great and current Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have his jersey retired at halftime.
