BC-UCF Preview

After the frustrating loss to Georgia Tech, the post-game analysis, and the week off, the BC Eagles are ready to move forward and get back on the field. They will have that opportunity tomorrow afternoon at 1 in Alumni Stadium as Boston College welcomes the University of Central Florida for it's first ever visit to Chestnut Hill.

Among some of the more important things to look for in tomorrow's contest will be:

• Chris Crane's ability to improve and make the necessary decisions to move the offense and manage the game - especially in the red zone.

• With Alex Albright out for the season, and an already thin BC pass rush, watch for Defensive End Austin GIles, who will be starting in place of Albright. While we will certainly miss the pass rushing ability of Albright, Giles sounds like he is up for the challenge.

• As mentioned below, cornerback Deleon Gause will likely see only limited playing time due to his high ankle sprain, an injury which can linger for weeks. True freshman Donnie Fletcher will get the nod in place of Gause at corner for at least some of the game.

• While Boston College is looking at this game as a must win, UCF players are also looking at the BC game as one of their biggest of the season.

• As we saw in the Georgia Tech game, the BC defense sometimes has trouble stopping an athletic QB on the run. This week, the defense will face an equally difficult task in defending UCF signal caller Michael Greco, who is also very mobile.
