  Boston College coach Jeff Hafley revealed a surprising tidbit at the ACC Kickoff on Wednesday about last year's 17-3 win over Virginia Tech. According to Hafley, starting quarterback Phil Jurkovec played the game with only 50% of his normal grip strength. Oh, and he didn't really practice leading up to the game either. Jurkovec got the surprise start against the Hokies after missing six straight games with a broken bone in his throwing hand.

Boston College's training staff expected Jurkovec to miss the rest of the season, and told Halfey as much. "He wasn't supposed to come back," Hafley said. "But the Friday before [playing Virginia Tech] the doctors told me could be cleared to practice and play. The bone was healed, and he could not hurt it anymore, but he would be at about 50% grip strength." That wasn't an estimate either. The trainers compared measurement's of Jurkovec's grip strength from when he was healthy to numbers after his cast came off. "The doctor has a grip machine," Jurkovec said. "With the hand being immobilized for awhile, the joint suffered from it. The bone was fully healthy, but the joint didn't have any motion." - Richmond Times-Dispatch
