Boston College is off to a strong start, although the competition hasn't been great, the Eagles have scored 96 points in their first two games against Colgate and Massachusetts. Dennis Grosel will start again at quarterback as Phil Jurkovec is out with a hand injury. Grosel is fully capable as he threw for 199 yards on 11 of 14 passes and a touchdown with no picks against Massachusetts, and last year he tied the school record of 520 passing yards by none other than Doug Flutie when filling in for Jurkovec against Virginia. Temple comes off a 1-6 season and lost its opener 61-14 at Rutgers before beating Akron, 45-24, last week. Justin Lynch completed 19 of 23 for 245 yards, and Randle Jones caught seven passes for 170 yards and two TDs. Boston College is a huge step up in competition, though, and the Eagles have covered four of their past five following an ATS loss. The Owls are 0-4 ATS their last four home games and 3-7 ATS their past 10 games overall. The Eagles are laying a lot fewer points than the past two weeks. Take Boston College.
