Still waiting on any BJ Raji updates.
From today's Globe:
No word on Raji's availability
By Mark Blaudschun, Globe Staff September 7, 2007
Although there is no official word on the status of defensive tackle B.J. Raji, who was declared academically ineligible last week, Boston College officials appear optimistic as Raji returned to practice yesterday.

Raji's status could be decided as early as today if the NCAA rules on an appeal made by BC. Raji had fallen three credits short of the academic progress required by the NCAA. If Raji is declared eligible, he could play against North Carolina State tomorrow.
Raji is unavailable for comment on his status until the appeal process is resolved. While Raji can practice, NCAA rules state that players on academic suspension cannot travel with the team or stay at the hotel the team uses the night before each home game.
Coach Jeff Jagodzinski said he hopes to have a full complement of players for tomorrow's game. Running back Jeff Smith's status was the most doubtful as BC evaluates tests regarding the concussion Smith suffered during training camp.
Home cookingBC enters tomorrow's game with a 12-game home winning streak. The Eagles' last loss at home was to Florida State, 28-17, Sept. 17, 2005

Kickoffs will be different with Bennett getting the nod this week:

I am not sure what they were trting to do last week but from where I was sitting it looked like they were trying to keep the balls squibbed into the corner and then got more and more frustrated with each one out of bounds. Unless there was a real threat back there to make returns I am not sure why they kept this strategy up especially when it kept failing.

Game should be a schorcher with temps in the high 80's with plenty of humidity so conditioning will be a big factor. Hopefully the rotating backfield will keep fresh legs handy so that Ryan can do his thing passing. I was surprised to see that on the ESPN.COM Heisman watch, he had better stats than Brohm and Booty and basically the same as Brennan but still no mention.
