Monday afternoon Cardinal news and notes

—Spread check: Bye Week by immeasurable pain and suffering.

—BC Interruption celebrates the Eagles’ victory over Louisville.

—Boston College definitely saw TuTu Atwell’s comment about the Eagle defense being slow.

BC also gained motivation from a comment by Louisville freshman wide receiver Chatarius Atwell, who replied when asked what he saw of BC on film: “A lot of slow people.”

“We thought we’ve got to just pressure them as much as possible and get there as fast as possible because, according to them, we’re slow,” said BC defensive end Zack Allen, who blocked an extra point in the first half. “I think we proved that wrong. I’m not going to talk about it too much, but I think they made it known out loud how they felt about us and we feel about ourselves a different way.”

The Eagles took advantage of field possession for a 14-0 lead, scoring after drives of five plays for 45 yards and four plays for 47 yards. Anthony Brown and freshman Hunter Long combined on a 26-yard scoring pass, Long’s third career reception and second touchdown, to open the scoring. A 42-yard Brown-to-Michael Walker flea-flicker set up the second score, a Glines 2-yard run, his sixth touchdown (third rushing) of the season.

“There was a different energy when we left the hotel,” Addazio said. “We felt this is going to be a real street fight and there were some comments made earlier in the week and our D-line took offense to that and they showed how explosive and how fast and athletic they can be, and physically tough. They played with a purpose.”

—The best tweet from the weekend came in the moments following Virginia’s upset of No. 16 Miami.

—Should the Dallas Cowboys trade for DeVante Parker?

—DeVante’s rough 2018 continued on Sunday.

DeVante Parker. He played just four snaps Sunday, but Gase insisted it was not a reflection of his ability, but simply his health.

Parker has been dealing with a quadriceps injury the past few weeks — he missed the Patriots and Bengals games — and did not look right when Brock Osweiler threw him a deep ball Sunday that was ultimately intercepted.

“It’s one of those nagging [injuries]. It’s hard for him to burst the way he wants to,” Gase said.

Still, the Dolphins had him active because Jakeem Grant has been dealing with a shoulder issue and if he had a recurrence, the Dolphins would have been left with just three active receivers if Parker was down.

—Bobby Petrino is down one spot to No. 7 in the coaches hot seat rankings.

—Alabama is still a massive favorite to win it all.
