BC’s ground attack offset Syracuse’s vaunted passing game led by quarterback Kyle McCord, an Ohio State transfer who is among the national leaders in key statistical categories. McCord completed 31-for-48 for 392 yards and two touchdowns.

That’s a dangerous trend against an inconsistent Syracuse offense that undoubtedly has a lot of weapons. The Orange have underused running back LeQuint Allen, but he should find success against a Boston College front allowing 4.1 yards per run.
