Boston College gets play-caller back for one game in bowl matchup with Boise and QB Brett Rypien.
Boston College coach Steve Addazio will have his play-caller for one more game before Scot Loeffler takes over at Bowling Green for good.
Just think of the SERVPRO First Responders Bowl against No. 23 Boise State on Wednesday as a one-game reunion after Loeffler spent most of the past month getting ready for his new job.
« He has been gone, but was able to get back for the prep week and we were moving right ahead to install the game plan, which isn’t anything abnormal, » Addazio said of his offensive coordinator from the past three seasons. « We are very appreciative that he is here. We gave each other a big hug and said, ‘Let’s go finish this thing.' »
The Eagles (7-5) are trying to get to eight wins for the first time under Addazio after finishing with seven victories in four of his first five seasons. BC lost in each of three previous chances to reach eight victories with a bowl win under Addazio.
The Broncos (10-3) have won at least 10 games in four of five seasons under coach Bryan Harsin, who has a 3-1 bowl record. Boise State lost to Fresno State 19-16 in overtime in the Mountain West championship game.
Harsin was a Boise assistant the only other time these teams played — on Boise’s blue turf in the 2005 MPC Computers Bowl.
