CRANE GOES DOWN, BC WINS

Boston College continued their improbable run to the ACC Championship game, surviving turnovers, special teeams miscues, and an unfortunate end to Chris Crane's BC career.

Coming on in relief, Dominique Davis was hapless for much of the second half, until he led BC on a 70 yard game winning TD drive with less than a minute remaining in regulation. BC held on for the 24-21 win and a shot at beating Maryland and an ACC Chapionship game bid.


SHOCK AND AWE
Although he came through in the end, Davis said he was "shocked and overwhelmed" when Crane went down.


HITING HIS STRIDE
Steve Aponavicius was 3 for 3 against Wake Forest and has made his last 4 field goals in a row.



MANCHILD
Not since the days of Craig Smith, the original manchild, has Boston College seen such a dominant performer as Mark Herzlich was for the Eales on Saturday. Led by Herzlich, who had two picks including one for a score, the defense held Wake Forest to 191 yards of total offense and nine first downs.

Dood, Danya Abrahms is the original manchild.

Here's a melancoloy article from 1997 about his post-BC career: http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/sports/1997/11/09/1997-11-09_the_missed_bank_shot.html
