WEEK # 1 “You can only make a first impression once”
#0 Boston College Eagles (1-0)	vs.	#125 Kentucky Wildcats
coach Wayne U.		Coach Joe S.
63		9
BOXSCORE
GAME SUMMARY:
Coach Joe Smith brought the Kentucky Wildcats into BC to try to pull the upset over coach Unruh's Eagles.  Such hopes however were quickly quashed! Boston College opened the game impressively scoring touchdowns each of the first five times they had the ball.  On their sixth possession, they missed a field goal before adding another td on their seventh possession to take a 42-0 lead into the halftime locker room. In the third quarter, the Wildcats were able to break into the scoring column with a 45 yard field goal but Boston College extended the lead after three quarters to 49-3. In the fourth quarter, Kentucky was able to score their one and only td but failed on the 2 pt conversion and Boston College tallied 2 more td's to make the final 63-9 Boston College. Despite only scoring nine points, Kentucky played pretty well on offense and actually gained more first downs and had more time of possession than the Eagles.  Part of this can be attributed to Boston College's excellent special teams play which included 2 punt returns for tds.  Kentucky's defense on the other hand was completely shredded despite coach Smith's excellent defensive play-calling efforts.  Boston College had a balanced but powerful rushing attack with 3 backs gaining over 80 yards and combining for 347 yards on 29 carries (12.0 yds per carry), and passed for another 162 yards for total offensive production of 509 yards and punted only twice.

GAME SUMMARY:
This one was all Gators from the get go.  The first team was pulled after scoring on their first drive of the second half as Florida wins 45-3.  The first team would have scored TD's on all drives, except a holding call erased one just before the half (with :01 left on the clock) making the Gators settle for a FG.  The second team did nothing to help out the score.  The lone PV A&M points came after Gavin Dickey threw a late INT deep in Gator territory which allowed PV A&M to kick get off the schnyde.....
