GET OFF THE FREAKING LEDGE.

I don't make too many posts about football, since I'm hardly a football expert, and there are plenty of other BC bloggers out there who have far more insightful things to say about the sport than I do.

But everyone on Planet Maroon & Gold who's lining up to jump off the Tobin this morning - you all know who you are - needs to get a grip. 

One week, we beat Virginia Tech, and everyone's booking their tickets to the Orange Bowl; now people are asking if we're going to win another game all year. 

Let me remind you of a few scores this year:

UVA lost to UConn, 45-10 & lost to Duke, 31-1

UVA beat Maryland, 31-0, & beat UNC 16-13

Wake Forest won @ FSU, 12-3

Wake Forest lost to Maryland, 26-0

Maryland lost to Middle Tennessee, and beat Clemson

I really don't think I need to go any further. The ACC is a volatile league this year. There is lots of parity and on any given week, any league team can beat any other league team. Period. Anyone who thought BC was going to run the table after VT was taking too many hits from the bong.

It was also BC's first game without Brian Toal, who is pretty important, last I checked; that's obviously going to be an adjustment for the defense.

And anyone who thinks Davis (or, for that matter, Matt Ryan) would have won us yesterday's game really ought to email me and share whatever it is you're smoking.

If you're looking to 'assign blame,' let's ask why Logan is asking Crane to throw the ball 40 times a game, often into traffic and double coverage, when we all know that Crane is woefully inconsistent and prone to interceptions. 

This is our situation, currently: we are a good team, with very good run defense and an inconsistent but occasionally good offense. Neither of our quarterbacks are good, but Chris Crane is clearly the starter. Davis should get some snaps. BC will very likely win a few more big games this year; we'll also very likely lose a few. At the end of the year, we'll be solid. Now get off the ledge.
