Lonergan gets picked twice but Schiano leaves him in. We score late and it doesn’t look as bad as it is.

Hate to be negative but…we are going to lose to BC.
Not because they are good, but because we are not good!

Prediction. Going to be a lot of bad football played that day. Two sorry teams. Anything can happen.
Two sorry teams. BCU has a better coach. That will be the difference. BCU in a pillow fight 21-14
My prediction:
Surace will start the game and will lead the team to a double digit victory.
Schiano does have an opportunity to save face a bit with Lonergan coming out of the last game and supposedly suffering some sort of injury.

If the offensive line performs the way it did vs. U Mass it won't matter who is the quarterback.
The same is true if the defense is as non-violent as it was last Thursday.
Schiano teams suck against QB-centric offenses.
Against Cinncy, Mackenzie of BC was personally responsible for 75% (35 pass, 20 run) of their 73 plays and 78% of their yardage (301 of 388).
By comparison, Watson of UMass was only responsible for 44% (22 pass, 6 run) of their 63 plays and 60% of their yardage (237 of 397) against us.
if we don’t contain their QB, and/or force him into making bad throws, we will lose to BC, unless we can somehow win in a shootout with fewer turnovers.

BC humiliates Rutgers, and Zinn will be forced to make a decision.
I hope she has Brian Kelly's number on speed-dial if BC pulls a UMassacre
I can't even fathom a guess. I can absolutely see us winning or losing.
Who plays QB? Are we going to use our best weapon for more than 2 quarters? Is the line play going to revert to the mean? Is the defense really that bad? Will we take less than 7 penalties? Are we walking into an emotional buzz saw?
If they lose, I'm resigned to what this program is right now.
If they win, I'll be even more annoyed about UMass.

Originally I had

RU 13
but now with Schiano starting Surace, my confidence has gone up, so I will update my prediction:
