Summary
Boston College’s 2026 opener against Cincinnati was a disaster from start to finish, losing by 19 points thanks to a parade of mental errors, procedural penalties, and catastrophic backups. False starts, delay-of-game calls, and encroachment gave the opponent fresh life, while a struggling backup center disrupted the offense after the starter went down. Defense missed tackles again, special teams blew big plays—including a fake punt that set up an easy score and a punt that bounced all the way to the two-yard line. The offense, expected to be a strength under Bill O’Brien, didn’t score until the 41st minute. O’Brien took full blame, but with this being just Game 1—and next week’s performance likely to determine the program’s future—coaching accountability can’t keep falling on the team’s shoulders.
