Sometimes summarizing a defeat is as easy as stating the obvious.
Boston College did almost everything right in its game against Wake Forest on Saturday. The offense was electric, piling over 500 yards. The defense surrendered chunk plays, but held its opponent to field goals instead of touchdowns in key spots. Each side committed expected mistakes, but it helped morph the game into a well-rounded, equal push between two very good teams.
The Sunday morning headlines won't scream about a back-and-forth, tough, physical football game, however. They instead will talk about the two opportunities laying a defeat at BC's doorstop.
