Dillon is as good of a runner as you'll find in college football and he'll be running behind a veteran offensive line. The passing game is still a concern, but as long as it isn't completely nonexistent the offense should be able to find a way to move the chains. BC always seems to be good on defense. They lost mega-star DE Harold Landry but return Zach Allen on the other side of the line as well as ballhawking safety Lukas Denis. Connor Strachan returns from injury to lead the LB corps while John Lamont and Kevin Bletzer are both breakout candidates. My Golden Eagles record prediction: 9-3. I think BC will make some noise when they beat Miami and start the season 9-0 with A.J. Dillon Heisman hype in full swing a playoff talk creeping up. A disappointing 0-3 finish will leave a bad taste in fans' mouths, but this would still be a successful season for the Golden Eagles and a huge building block for the future of this program.

With that said, they've got some excellent component parts on their defense (Zach Allen, Lukas Denis, Will Harris, Isaac Yiadom, John Lamot) to have a near-2015 quality defense; and this time potentially an offense to match. They have one of the best RB's in the ACC now with AJ Dillon, a quarterback who is now a sophomore instead of a freshman (this typifies improvement), return their entire receiving core group, and might have one of the best OL's in the ACC this year as well. Last year they ranked right around 100th in offensive S&P+, but I think that leap can be massive in 2019. A top-20ish defense with a top-40ish offense should be able to sneak their way into a top-25 overall ranking.
