Sometimes it just isn’t your year. Setbacks outside of your control pile up, while your team fails to make many breaks for itself on the field, and the season spirals. That’s been the story for Jeff Hafley and Boston College in 2022, as the Eagles sit at 2-7, ruined by injuries.
The alarm bells were there in Week 1, when the Eagles dropped a home game to Rutgers. That was a worrying omen for a potentially difficult year ahead, and that was when the team was about as healthy as it was going to get. It’s been almost all bad news since.
