After a 4-8 campaign in 2011, BC is looking forward to what is ahead for the Eagles and on Monday they got a slight glimpse of what the future holds.
The ACC released the 2012 football schedule and BC is preparing for a challenging road from the start, as a visit from Miami is up first on the schedule on Sept. 1. The Eagles are surely anticipating to pick up where they left off in 2011, after dropping the Hurricanes 24-17 in a Thanksgiving weekend trip to cap off the rough season.
BC also can also expect visits from Maine (9/8) and Clemson (9/29), with a trip to play Northwestern on Sept. 15 stuck in between. Frank Spaziani and the Eagles will then head out on a three-game road-trip to take on Army (10/6), Florida State (10/13) and Georgia Tech (10/20), before making their way back to Chestnut Hill for a visit from ACC-rival Maryland on Oct. 27.
The Eagles will then take a trip to Wake Forest (11/3) before a much-anticipated homestand that features longtime rival Notre Dame (11/10) and Virginia tech (11/17).
BC finishes off the year paying a visit to former coach Tom O'Brien and North Carolina State before hopefully earning a trip to the ACC championship game on Dec. 1.
This season could be challenging for BC without All-American and expected first round draft pick Luke Kuechly, but the Eagles remain optomistic and are returning a number of offensive and defensive starters from 2011.
