Demon Deacons -2 vs. Eagles

After winning two straight over Notre Dame and previously ranked Florida State, Boston College may be rightfully upset by not claiming a spot in the Top 25. Last week the Eagles dominated much of the game in Tallahassee as they bested the Seminoles 27-17. The week before, they thoroughly dominated the Fighting Irish, shutting them out at home. It will remain to be seen if a win over a fading Wake Forest team will put them in the polls prior to their last game of the season against Maryland. Perhaps they may want to stay out of the Top 25 when they face the Terrapins who are 4-0 against ranked teams this season.

Either way, they must get past the Demon Deacons before they can state their case. Boston College (7-3, 3-3) has had an inconsistent year this season, especially in the ACC. A lot of that inconsistency can be attributed to their struggling offense, which does rank above 55th in any offensive category and rank 99th in total yards and 100th in passing. Chris Crane has had an uneven year under center for the Eagles by throwing for 1687 yards with 10 touchdowns against 13 interceptions.

Riley Skinner has had a more consistent year for Wake Forest by throwing for 1882 yards with 11 touchdowns and only five interceptions. Last week in Wake Forest's inexcusable 21-17 loss to last place North Carolina State, Skinner went 21 for 33 for 176 yards with a touchdown and one interception. The Demon Deacons Achilles Heel has been their ground game which has yet to catch on this season by averaging only 211 yards per contest.

Wake Forest leads the series three games to two, but Boston College has won two of the last three, including last year's 38-28 win in Massachusetts. The Eagles have yet to win in Winston-Salem.
