CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. \u2013<\/strong> Boston College held its first of two preseason camp scrimmages on Monday outside on the Chamberlin Practice Field.\u00a0 The Eagles were on the field<\/a> for two hours in a thud-contact scrimmage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re getting some situational football, we scrimmaged today for the first time,\u201d head coach Jeff Hafley said following the scrimmage. \u201cWe need to get a lot better. We’re not ready to play a game right now. I just told them that out there. We did a lot of really good things in the scrimmage. But we did a lot of things that would have beat ourselves no matter who we lined up against. And before you beat anybody, you got to get to the point where you don’t beat yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The running game stood out during Monday\u2019s scrimmage as Alec Sinkfield scored two touchdowns, including going untouched from 40 yards out along with a two-yard touchdown run from Travis Levy. All four backs \u2013 Xavier Coleman, Pat Garwo, Levy, and Sinkfield had productive days running behind the offensive line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing I thought we actually did really well today in the scrimmage, we ran the ball really well,\u201d said Hafley. \u201cAnd obviously that starts up front. We should run the ball really well because we have a really good offensive line. Great scheme. I thought that Sink (Alec Sinkfield) look good today. Trav (Travis Levy) had a couple of good runs. Pat had a huge run. And X (Xavier Coleman) looked really quick. You have a lot of competition there (at running back).\u201d<\/p>\n

Hafley also updated the media on the loss of Chibueze Onwuka for the season with an Achilles injury. \u201cBooze (Chibouze) will be out for the year. Sadly, he probably had the best offseason he might have ever had. He became a leader for us and was playing at a really high level, probably would have started for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The injuries have begun to pile up at defensive tackle for Boston College.<\/p>\n
