Why Boston College can cover

Senior cornerback Elijah Jones is having a superb campaign. Jones has great instincts and an understanding of routes in coverage, quickly breaking on the ball. The New York native is tied for first in the conference in interceptions (5) with nine pass breakups and 25 total tackles.
Last week, Jones recorded two tackles, two interceptions and one pass breakup. Senior linebacker Vinny DePalma is an anchor in the middle of the field.
