BOSTON COLLEGE Head Coach: Steve Addazio
2012 Record: 2-10 (1-7) Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Off Coord: Ryan Day Founded: 1863
OFFENSE: Boston College has been in steady decline
over recent seasons. After finishing an abysmal 2-10 last season, Coach Frank Spaziani is out and new head coach Steve Addazio is in. He will need to do some serious motivating to get this offense clicking again, and his players will need to rise to the occasion. Senior quarterback Chase Rettig has been a good but not great quarterback over his past three seasons at BC. Senior running back Andre Williams, who showed massive potential as a freshman but never really developed, will now be the featured back. Top receivers Alex Amidon and Johnathan Coleman will return for their senior seasons and will lead the receiving corps. Amidon had over a thousand yards receiving last season and appears to be the Eagles greatest offensive threat heading into the 2013 season. Senior Ian White, who missed the last three games of 2012, will return to lead an offensive line that gave up 36 sacks.
DEFENSE: Boston College has been known for hav-
ing great production out of its linebackers, with alumni that include Luke Kuechly and Mark Herzlich. This season should be no different as the linebacker position is far and away the best defensive unit. Seniors Steele Divitto and Kevin Pierre-Louis will be the leaders of this defense and the primary playmakers. After missing significant time over the past two seasons, senior defensive tackle Kaleb Ramsey will slide into his starting position to strengthen up the interior. On the outside is Kasim Edebali; the senior defensive end had 7.5 tackles for loss last season and 59 tackles total. Junior safety Al Louis-Jean will return after missing all of last season. Louis-Jean is a playmaker who can provide leadership and a strong presence for this defensive backfield. Spencer Rosatino is a corner to keep an eye on; he had three interceptions last season and came on strong towards the end of the year. 2013 SCHEDULE Aug 31 Villanova Sep 6 Wake Forest Sep 14 @USC Sep 28 Florida St. Oct 5 Army Oct 12 @Clemson Oct 26 @North Carolina Nov 2 Virginia Tech Nov 9 @New Mexico St. Nov 16 N.

NEWCOMERS RB Myles Willis, Willis, a converted quarterback is one of the better athletes in this recruiting class. DB John Johnson, A zone specialist, Johnson is a fast safety who will see some early playing time with the Eagles. DT Tevin Montgomery, A large defensive tackle at 295 pounds, Montgomery will help fortify the defensive line.
