Hunter Long Returns

After a scary injury two weeks ago that caused him to leave on a cart, former Boston College tight end Hunter Long returned to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. The third round pick finished the game with one reception for four yards, but the fact that he was back was big news in itself.

Locked on Boston College- Alliance Dream Matches

On Friday, Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic tweeted out that the "alliance" between the ACC/Big Ten and Pac 12 could be finalized in the next week. If that was to happen the three conferences would have scheduling ramifications moving forward. Boston College would be on the block to get scheduled games against both conferences. Who would we like to see the Eagles play? We give our top five.

But there are also a few teams we aren't that interested in scheduling, we will give you that list too.

Additionally we talk about COVID-19 protocols for college football for this upcoming season, look at how that could impact Boston College. Talk recruiting news for the Eagles, including big weekends for '22 commits CJ Clinkscales, Alex Broome and Cam Barfield. All of that and more!
