Boston College's football program is undergoing significant changes under new head coach Bill O'Brien, who has energized the team and its supporters since his arrival in February. O'Brien emphasizes a winning mentality, encouraging players to believe they can beat any opponent, as they prepare for the upcoming season opener against Florida State. The Eagles have added 21 newcomers, including transfers like running back Treshaun Ward, who appreciates the comfort and pro-style preparation from the coaching staff. During fall camp, the defense has shown promise, but O'Brien stresses the need for improvement in handling adversity. Players, including quarterback Thomas Castellanos, express excitement about the new direction and energy brought to the program. As they finalize preparations for the season, the team remains focused on achieving a winning record and competing for the ACC Championship.
