Rutgers +7 at BC

Question

Should BC be laying this many to any P5 team? Yes, they get their QB back- but 102nd in overall O production back and their OL is a mess. Under seems to be a play here too, but a TD in a spot where Rutgers should be up feels like a lot. BC also has night game @ VT next week, while Rutgers is hosting Wagner..

Thoughts?

I like RU &#x2B;7. Well coached team, will come out prepared for BC. See what they did to MSU a few years ago. Similar spot here it would seem.

Jurkovich and a deadly receiver at night in a home game &#x2026;. Plus Rutgers lost their main weapon Pacheco.. something tell me to stay off this game though

@MLMaverick&#xA; Not that it matters a ton- but it&#x2019;s a 12p kick &#xA;can&#x2019;t get over Bc starting 5 new OL. If the Rutgers DL is even decent, it could be a long day for the BC O

@SatNightFever05&#xA; Well, I certainly wouldn&#x27;t bet the other way.

I think the BC D projects pretty well too .. lotta guys back this year on a coverage unit that wasn't bad and believe they were even a little banged up part of the season .. they really had a bad draw losing a key DL pre-ssn LY, can't remember how they did but it was definitely not an idea situation .. they get the injured guy back and defense looks like a strength .. I'd say Rutgers O should move from totally discombobulated to somewhat functional with the new QB but rather see how they do vs a D that doesn't project as a dud ..

The other thing I'd watch is Rutgers was reallllly tough up front last year .. Mich tried to bow up on em and it was a dogfight in the trenches .. same w Cuse and Ill .. 3 solid running teams struggled.. lose some of the starters up front but the bups all played should be okay, new DC shouldn't tinker w a good thing.. should def tinker w the pass coverage because the secondary could just get buuuurned down field big .. anyone with a few passing proclivities had a field day .. OSU, Mich St, even Wisco, MD .. Mich didn't pass much, harbaugh wanted the dog fight and got it .. and the passing made the running a bit easier like Mich St for a bunch of those teams .. D held under 300 yds in 6 games .. otherwise lotta 500 yd games ... I doubt those secondary problems are patched up totally, could see Jerko get pressure thru that bad OL but he's also capable of making space w his legs .. might see him burn the D w his WR's a few times ..

Think this is a good game see where these two are at .. BC OL gets a test from Rut's DL for sure .. Rut's DB's gunna get tested too ... lot of uncertainties hovering over some clear strengths, weaknesses last year ..
