BOSTON (AP) — All Boston College wants from freshman Chase Rettig in his collegiate debut on Saturday is a victory.
In a nationally televised night game.
Against Notre Dame.
The BC quarterback had been heading for a redshirt this season. Now he’s expected to start for the Eagles when they play a Fighting Irish team reeling from three consecutive losses. BC coach Frank Spaziani won’t commit to the freshman over sophomore Mike Marscovetra. But teammates say Rettig has been taking most of the snaps with the first team in practice this week.
Boston College and Notre Dame meet for the fourth straight year in a rivalry that has lost much of its luster as the teams have struggled. BC dominated the rivalry since 2001 with six straight wins until the Irish won at home last year.
