What to Know

Boston College will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. The Boston College Eagles and the Miami (FL) Hurricanes will face off in an ACC battle at 12:00 p.m. ET at Alumni Stadium. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Boston College scored first but ultimately less than Pittsburgh in their matchup last Thursday. They took a 24-16 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Panthers. Boston College has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, who contributed ten in total. All those points came courtesy of Liam Connor: he added nine points with three field goals, and another on an extra-point kick.

Meanwhile, Miami (FL)'s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They fell 38-31 to Louisville. That's two games in a row now that Miami (FL) has lost by exactly seven points.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Mark Fletcher Jr., who rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. Fletcher Jr. was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 54 yards. Another player making a difference was Xavier Restrepo, who picked up 193 receiving yards and a touchdown.

The losses dropped Boston College to 6-5 and Pittsburgh to 3-8.

Friday's game might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. The Eagles have been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 197.5 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like the Hurricanes struggle in that department as they've been averaging 170.8 per game. It's looking like Friday's match might have some serious battles in the trenches.
