Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. RALEIGH, N.C. -- Now that North Carolina State is aware of Boston Colleges long losing streak in the ACC, the Wolfpack want no part of being the team to end it.The Eagles havent won an Atlantic Coast Conference game in nearly two full years, and bring a 12-game league losing streak into Saturdays game at N.C. State.Were frustrated with where we are right now, we also are encouraged by where the potential is, and weve got to keep developing, blossoming, and were not that far off, coach Steve Addazio said.Not a lot has gone right recently for the Eagles (3-4, 0-4), who have fallen back into last place in the Atlantic Division after two straight league losses . They rank last in the league in both points (21) and total yards (316.6) per game, and havent won a conference game since November 2014.The Wolfpack players insisted they were unaware of BCs run of in-league futility.Winning a football game is hard right now -- its a play here or a play there, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said. I look at the film and see BC as a very physical, formidable opponent. ... Youve got to do things right to beat them.Doeren and the Wolfpack (4-3, 1-2) know all about the difficulties of winning lately. N.C. State seemingly had No. 3 Clemson beat two weeks ago , but missed a chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation and lost in overtime, then followed that up at No. 5 Louisville by falling behind by 44 points at halftime of a 54-13 loss.One week, youre heartbroken and in shock, and the next weekend we didnt play good, Doeren said, calling it an embarrassing feeling.Youre on top of the world, and all of a sudden, it was taken fromm you, he added.dddddddddddd Youve got to deal with them differently. Weve got to flush them both and move on.---Some things to know about the Boston College-N.C. State game:TOWLES ON: Addazio hopes QB Patrick Towles will be healthy enough to play after he injured a hamstring in last weeks loss to Syracuse. He was just 4 of 15 for 45 yards in that game with an interception and a fumble, and gained 75 of his career-best 104 yards rushing on one play, a touchdown run on which he injured his hamstring.FINLEYS FINE: N.C. State QB Ryan Finley has thrown four interceptions in his last two games after not throwing any during the first five. He also completed barely over half his passes in those two losses after hitting on nearly 70 percent in the first five games. Center Joe Scelfo isnt worried about him, saying Finley will be fine.ANOTHER TOUGH D: The Wolfpack are playing a top-11 defense for the third consecutive week. The Eagles are seventh in total defense, giving up 292 total yards per game. N.C. State previously faced Clemsons ninth-ranked defense and a Louisville unit that was 11th in that stat category.PACKS TURNOVERS: N.C. State has forced an ACC-best eight fumbles, ranking eighth in the Bowl Subdivision in that stat. That could mean trouble for a BC offense that has lost seven fumbles in seven games.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
