Consistency and identity, two words that define Boston College and its head coach Steve Addazio. You know they are going to play hard, and not beat themselves. However, you also know they are limited.

Prediction: 6-6, 3-5 ACC

They will beat the teams they are better than, split against the teams they are even with, and lose to the teams that are better than they are. They will take a step back this season because they are so inexperienced on defense, and don’t have an offense that can out score people. That will be reflected in their record this season.
