That was about all you could hope to see out of Boston College in game one against an FCS opponent. A big number on offense, a shutout on defense, and there’s your successful scrimmage. Certainly not a perfect day, but not one you’re going to find too much to complain about.
Nonetheless, after a dominating opening drive to go up 7-0, the Eagles kind of sputtered a bit for the rest of the first quarter and into the second. Back to back BC punts after just 4 and 3 plays respectively kept the Raiders in it down a score, and Colgate’s stifling of the much-ballyhooed Boson College offense started to raise an eyebrow or two.
