It's amazing that Boston College won as many games as it did last year with a one-dimensional offense that finished #115 in the nation in passing. And this offense is taking a step back this season. The UNDER is 37-15-1 in the Eagles' last 53 road games. Star RB Andre Williams is gone, as are quarterback Chase Rettig, receiver Alex Amidon and both starting tackles. The UNDER is 20-6 in the Eagles' last 26 non-conference games, plus 4-0 UNDER the total against the MAC. They face a UMass Minutemen team that was a joke on offense in 2013, ranking #114 in passing, #106 in rushing while averaging just 11.7 points. And would you believe that offense was a no-huddle, spread attack? New coach Mark Whipple steps in with a new playbook and a lot of work to do, which will take time. UMass is on a 9-3 run UNDER the total, and 4-0 UNDER in non-conference games. Take the UNDER.
