QUICK LANE BOWL - There is one key point in this game. Maryland has scored big vs. poor defensive teams. Maryland's schedule included six games vs. FBS series teams that each gave up 24 points per game or more, and the Terrapins averaged 36 ppg. They also played five games vs. teams that allowed fewer than 24 ppg and they averaged 6.2 ppg. That is a huge difference. Boston College has a very good defense, but was not good vs. strong offensive teams. The Eagles allowed 50.5 ppg to Virginia Tech, Louisville,Clemson, and Florida State. They allowed 13.3 ppg in all other games. The picture here is Maryland was 0-5 vs. good defenses, and 6-1 vs. poor ones. The Eagles were 0-4 vs. elite offenses, but 6-2 otherwise. It looks pretty clear that BC has the edge. Play on Boston College.
