Last season the tigers lost there opening ACC game to a good boston college. So this year the tigers had planned to return the favor at there place. Boston College was coming off a 31-28 OT win vs Florida State so fans were quite excited this could be a battle for the Atlantic Division. Things started out quite good with a 45 yard touchdown pas to james davis that was originally a 5 yard pass to the flat. Then a screen play was taken 77 yards by Aaron Kelly for a touchdown. All this happened in the first q. The Tigers never looked back except WR Jacoby Ford looking back to see who was trying to catch him from behind(but was 35 yards away) on his 57 yard touchdown catch. The tigers handidly beat the eagles 49-3.

The one problem the tigers fased today was injuries. C.J. Spiller was hurt in the 1rst q with a bruised chest and was out for the game. Rolb Nick Watkins intercepted a ball in the endzone and preceded to run it out to the 25 yard line when he was blidsided on the tackle in the 2nd. He had a mild concussion and was out for the game. DE Ricky Sapp left the game with a bruised sternum once the game started getting out of hand. The most dissapointing loss was injury to prized starting cornerback Luke Griffin. Griffin was the number 1 cornerback in the country out of North Carolina this past season. He was also a juco recruit. Since C.J. Gaddis jumped early to the NFL Luke has filled into his spot nicely. Griffin was trying to deflect a jumpball when he landed on his back. Griffin is expected to be out for 12 weeks for a strained back. Hopefully Luke will beable to play in the south carolina game aswell as a bowl. Star nickle cornerback crezdon butler will take lukes spot.
