State. That momentum quickly dissipated, however, following back-to-back blowout losses to Louisville (52-7) and at Florida State (45-7) last week.But with the possibility of a bowl berth still a looming if they can beat the Huskies Saturday and win at Wake Forest next week, quarterback Patrick Towles said there isnt any time to dwell on the past.We dropped probably one or two that we probably shouldnt have dropped, Towles said. But we still have an opportunity. Weve still got two winnable games the next two weeks to go down and get our postseason berth. So the next two weeks are huge, but if we dont win this one, then the last one doesnt really matter.If BC can return to a bowl, it would go a long way toward coach Steve Addazio returning for his fifth season. The Eagles went 3-9 last season after making bowl appearances in each of Addazios first two seasons in 2013 and 2014.UConn is coming off a much needed bye week, having lost four straight.

BBut theres also great clarity on reasons why, and (the team is) resolute to fixing the issues.ddddddddddddHere are some other things to watch for in Saturdays game:SERIES HISTORY: BC and UConn are facing each other for the first time since 2004. The Eagles lead the series 10-0-2 and have won nine straight.LOOKING FOR POINTS: UConn comes into Saturdays matchup in an offensive slump. The Huskies have been outscored 62-3 in their last two losses to East Carolina and Temple.

Ryan passed for 56 TDs and more than 9,000 yards at BC, and capped off his career by being selected third overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2008 NFL draft. He is the schools highest draft pick ever in any sport.Addazio said that a player like Ryan who, including his redshirt season, spent five years in the program, is an example of the kind of player the Eagles are trying to cultivate now.At BC, its critically important, the developmental program, Addazio said. Its a program that has to be consistent, and you develop your players, and as you get into the latter two years, they really become mature mentally and physically, and those are your best teams.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
