EAGLES’ TO-DO LIST
Boston College coach Steve Addazio has a major rebuilding project to complete before the start of the 2015 season.

Offensively, he returns explosive tailback Jon Hilliman (860 yards, 13 TDs) and has a diverse stable of receives to implement a downfield passing game. The Eagles have won seven games and been bowl eligible in Addazio’s two seasons, but he needs to shore up these three key areas to compete for a third.
