With ESPN’s College GameDay setting up shop in the Dust Bowl, and a primetime national spotlight aimed at their showdown with the #2 ranked Clemson Tigers, Boston College was brimming with excitement. Turns out Desmond Howard was a false prophet, and Clemson is in another class altogether.
Already facing a tall task against the imposing Tigers defense, BC starting QB Anthony Brown suffered a game ending injury in the first quarter, after he was thrown to the turf by defensive lineman Christian Wilkins. The offense looked very out of sorts with backup EJ Perry at the helm, managing a measly 23 yards of offense in the first half, and 113 for the game.
