Boston College flukes of 84 by Herschel Nissenson East a despite the successes of last season a National championship for a 5 ranking for Boston College they apparently must prove it All Over again against each other in thursday nights third an Nual Kickoff classic at giants a solid performance by both teams May silence the critics who claim both schools played Over their Heads in in my own we dont have to prove says by coach la veil whose cougars Are Only 10 in the 1985 associated press preseason but i in All it last years criticism is still out there Are in who still feel strongly about what happened to us last theres nothing i can do about that was last year and this year is this there Are enough enough pressures in getting a team put together without having the added responsibility about what happened the year when you emerge onto the National scene that happened to us just within the last year or two anything you can do to win a key game like this would enhance your As the teams arrived Edwards said that last years a 2014 upset of was probably the most significant game we Ever had because it was the first time we played in the East and Pitt had a High preseason ranking the win helped propel the cougars to a 6 ranking after their third it really helps to play in the in 1979 we were undefeated during the Reg ular season and barely cracked the top 10 Edwards Boston College coach Jack Bicknell credited the first two games in 1982 Doug flutes Sophomore year with putting the eagles on the we went Down to Texas and really snuck up on them and beat them Good 3816 on it was Jackie Sherrills Home opener and we really did get after them pretty Jackie knew about us because he had been at but in sure those Texas people were sur the very next week we were in death Valley against the defending National we were Down came Back and went ahead 1714 and ended up tying the game that was a key game because our kids knew they could go into that kind of environment and play we have a very Good record in other Peoples but despite three years of including last years 102 record and Cotton bowl Boston College int even in the preseason top i dont think you can appear in a fairly Short period of time and then be painted on everybody mind that you Are really Bicknell theres some doubt whether were theres doubt in my mind whether were what Bicknell also understands is the reason for Boston colleges drop the departure of major College foot balls career pass yardage and total of sense Bicknell said Boston colleges absence from the preseason rankings surprised me a Little i dont necessarily agree with i dont know whats going to Hap but i know we ended up fifth in the country last year and weve got a lot of players i dont know How you can go from pretty Good to not even being men but i guess there Are a lot of other Good teams
