BC Plays it Conservative Against Kent State


Boston College played one of the cleanest games in memory this evening after recording neither a penalty nor a turnover in the season opener against an upstart Kent State team.

Although Chris Crane had only modest success in the passing game, he made no mistakes and the BC defense was up to the task in limiting Kent State's option offense.

The Eagles held on for the shut out - 21-0.

Though they play in the little regarded Mid-American Conference, Kent State gave BC a handful with senior QB Julian Edelman and one of the nation's smallest, and most underrated running backs (and the nation's leading returning rusher) in Eugene Jarvis.

Despite a few bold predictions, the BC offense (vanilla as it was) proved to be too strong for an undermanned and over-matched Golden Flash squad.
