Every team makes mistakes. It’s part of the game. But when the game is as close as Saturday’s was, the mistakes that seem tiny, even irrelevant at some points, build up quickly.
Notebook on BC football's Saturday loss by @mstefanoudakis1:
bcheights.com/222206/sports/…
BC suffered its first loss of the season yesterday night in a nail-biter ultimately decided by a failed two-point conversion attempt.
My story about the game, plus what Coach O'Brien had to say about his team's loss:
BC suffered its first loss of the season yesterday night in a nail-biter ultimately decided by a failed two-point conversion attempt.
My story about the game, plus what Coach O'Brien had to say about his team's loss:
“We had the guy tackled a couple times, missed tackles, let the guy break free, avoided the wrong way. We gotta go back to work. That’s kind of what I’m saying—a lot of positives, but then the negatives are why we lost the game."
-O'Brien
“I think we need to run the ball better. I’m not blaming the offensive line, but I’m just saying overall we have to still be able to run the ball better. We’re not going to be able to throw the ball ... 55, 60 times a game. I don’t think that’s a recipe for winning."
-O'Brien
Chiles completes the game-winning pass to Omari Kelly and MSU beats BC 42–40 to put the Eagles at .500 two games into the season.
Full story and quotes from O'Brien to come.
Turbo Richards runs it in from eight yards for another BC touchdown. The two-point conversion is no good as Lonergan's pass to Bond is smacked away.
40–34 BC
Chiles is up and seems to be walking on his own to the sideline. If BC doesn't score, though, and the game head to overtime, we'll see if Chiles is more limited than he has been.
