Following NC State’s 30-21 win over Wake Forest Wake Forest 30-21 loss Wake Forest Head Coach Dave Clawson had this to say!

It’s a good football team, it’s a touch environment it’s really good old veteran defense. They started a freshman quarterback but the rest of the unit is good players. They’ve got a veteran 0-Line they’ve got veteran offensive skill. He played well, but they didn’t ask him to win the game.

Boston College lost to another triangle team on Friday in Duke 38-31 who became bowl eligible for inaugural time under their Head Coach Mike Elko.

Boston College was playing without starting quarterback Phil Jrovec with back up quarterback Emmett Morehead.

Why?

Phil Jurkovec status for tonight’s game is uncertain as he left Saturday’s 13-3 loss at Uconn with a leg injury. Though, this season Phil Jurkovec has had a mediocre season completing 59.5 % of passes thrown 11 touchdowns, 8 interceptions.Boston College Head Coach Jeff Hafley said Phil Jurkovec would play if his undisclosed condition by game time. Though, there is a possibility that Emmett Morehead would get his first career start.

Boston College Head Coach Jeff Hafley had this to say about Boston College starting quarterback situation!

It’s hard because there are limited reps as it is this late in the season and the starter has to get most of them. Obviously with Phil out Emmett got reps , which is helpful in case he does need to play.

“According to Rich Thompson’s article on bostonherald.com”

NC State has been playing without their starting quarterback in Devin Leary who is out for remainder of season with torn pectoral muscle.

Kickoff is set for 3:30pm from Carter Finley Stadium!

The game is going to be televised on ACC Network!
