Boston College football is now roughly four full weeks into having Dennis Grosel as its starting quarterback. The first few weeks went well enough with the Eagles pulling out solid wins over UMass, Temple, and Missouri — UMass and Temple because those teams are bad, and Missouri because the BC offense was able to run up and down the field with impunity.
But with the Eagles facing their toughest matchup of the year, it was arguably the first time Boston College really needed to scheme their offensive game plan around their quarterback. Instead of looking like we’ve had weeks to plan for the moment, it looked like Grosel was plugged in mid-game with the team still expecting a pro-style deep threat under center.
