## Resource

Boston College’s defense struggled mightily in their season opener, surrendering 126 yards after missed tackles as Cincinnati’s running game dominated with multiple backs averaging nearly six yards per carry. Led by Gi’bran Payne, the Bearcats turned short gains into big plays, exposing BC’s tackling deficiencies. Defensive coordinator Ted Roof stressed fundamentals—running through contact, disengaging from blocks—and acknowledged the team’s inexperience, especially among key players like Anthony Palano and KP Price. Despite the setbacks, Roof remains optimistic, believing the biggest growth often happens between games one and two, and is eager to see his unit improve ahead of a crucial home matchup.
