Boston College vs NC State Game Preview
Why Boston College Will Win
The Eagles at least played tough against Duke. They lost 38-31, but the passing game worked like it’s supposed to and it was the type of good, competitive battle they were supposed to be in all season long.
NC State might be in the hunt for a ten-win season and they might be fighting through some rough patches, but they struggled way too much in a 22-21 home win over a bad Virginia Tech, they’re not running well, and they’re not cranking up the offense.

More steady than sensational, it helped NC State to be able to limit the turnovers and mistakes over the last few games. It hasn’t turned the ball over in three weeks and has only turned the ball over multiple times twice so far this season.
It’s this simple; if Boston College doesn’t come up with at least three takeaways, it has no chance of winning this.
Boston College isn’t coming up with at least three takeaways. It only did that once all season, and that was against Maine.

What’s Going To Happen
The NC State defense has been amazing at bending without doing a lot of breaking. Boston College will come up with a few yards through the air, but it’s not going to convert drives into points.
Forget about any Eagle running game against this defense – be shocked if there are more than 60 yards. It’s NC State – it’s not going to run away and hide with this – but it’ll be in control.
