This should be an interesting offensive show.
Boston College is taking a mini-break from the ACC season before going on the road to face Virginia and Virginia Tech, but it can’t just go through the motions.
A chance is there for a big season after the wins over Florida State and Michigan State, but a loss here would derail the fun.
Western Kentucky has a high-powered passing game, but it had to grind it out in a wonderful win over a Toledo team that destroyed Mississippi State the week before. The Conference USA season kicks in full force next week against UTEP.
Sep 21, 2024; Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, USA; Boston College Eagles running back Treshaun Ward (0) scores a touchdown against the Michigan State Spartans during the second half at Alumni Stadium.

Boston College vs Western Kentucky: Who Will Win
Will the offense keep moving with BC staring QB Thomas Castellanos out? Grayson James will get the start, but all that means is that the Eagles will run even more, and it'll work.
The first WKU game was against Alabama, who averaged over seven yards per pop and ran for six scores.
It won’t be that bad, but Boston College will control the game throughout by keeping it simple. Run 45 times, be good on third downs, and move on.
