BOSTON -- If ever there were a game to build confidence, Boston College might have it now.Coming off a 49-0 loss in their Atlantic Coast Conference game at Virginia Tech last week, the Eagles face Wagner (2-0), a Football Championship Division school, in their on-campus home opener Saturday.Boston College (1-2), a Bowl Championship Subdivision school, is certainly in no position to underestimate a lower-division opponent after how its started this season.The Eagles enter Saturdays matchup in their first meeting with Wagner last in the ACC in total scoring (13.3 points per game) and at the bottom in total offense (262.7 yards per).BC plays the first of two weaker opponents before it returns to ACC play, hosting No. 5 Clemson on Oct. 7.The Eagles have lost 10 straight conference games, but coach Steve Addazio knows his team needs to gain confidence with the first of two consecutive non-conference games this week.Theres a game to be played -- go win the game, he said. Thats our charge. Every games critical.---Heres what to look for when the Eagles face the Seahawks:FIND THE RUNNING GAME: Addazio is most upset by his teams inability to run consistently. Known for their commitment to the running game since Addazio took over in 2013, the Eagles are next to last in the conference, rushing for just 124.3 per game.Thats one of the biggest things bothering me right there, he said. Its pretty easy: Were young up front and were not handling well right now some of the things that are going on. I think weve got to do a better job of simplifying the run game.STREAK: BC has won 24 straight against FCS schools after losing its first-ever, 27-0 to Massachusetts in 1978. Last year, the Eagles defeated FCS teams Maine, 24-3, and Howard, 76-0, in their first two games of the season.CAN THEY SCORE ENOUGH?: Wagner is playing a FBS team for the sixth time. In four of the other games its been held to single digits.LOOK OUT: This season has already seen the most FCS upsets over FBS schools with five. ACC-member Virginia is one of those, losing to in-state rival Richmond. So that may give Wagner some added confidence for an upset.NICE TO BE HOME: After opening the season with a home game in Ireland, a last-minute 17-14 loss to Georgia Tech in their ACC opener, the Eagles played a road game against Massachusetts -- albeit just a half hour away -- at Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, before traveling to Virginia Tech. Wagner is the first of four straight games at Alumni Stadium. After the Seahawks, BC faces Buffalo, Clemson and, following an off week, Syracuse. Golden Knights Jerseys China .

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. CHICAGO -- A long, odd night turned into a frustrating early morning for a Chicago Cubs team that appears to have lost its swagger.Nick Markakis homered twice, including a tying solo shot in the ninth inning, and Tyler Flowers two-out single in the 11th early Friday morning gave the Atlanta Braves a 4-3 victory.A tough game, catcher Willson Contreras said in a nearly silent clubhouse after Chicagos 13th loss in 18 games.Contreras two-run triple in a three-run eighth inning put the Cubs up 3-2. But closer Hector Rondon blew his fourth save when he gave up the second homer to Markakis to lead off the ninth, Atlantas first hit since the second inning.Flowers then singled to right off Spencer Patton (1-1), and Freddie Freeman, who walked, barely beat Ben Zobrists throw home.Dario Alvarez (3-1) worked a perfect 10th before giving up consecutive singles to Contreras and Jason Heyward to lead off the 11th.Mauricio Cabrera came in and got his second save by getting Addison Russell to ground into a double play before Jeimer Candelario flied to center as the last-place Braves snapped a four-game skid.It was big to get a win, especially against a ball club like that, in ballpark like this, Markakis said.After starting 25-6, the Cubs have gone 27-27. Their three-game skid and losses in seven of eight games have dropped them a game behind San Francisco for the best record in the major leagues.It happens to everybody, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of his teams woes. For anybody out there who believes it doesnt happen to every team, youre wrong.Tensions boiled after Markakis fourth homer in the ninth. After Rondon struck out Adonis Garcia, Rondon threw an inside fastball to Jeff Francoeur. He and Contreras started jawing, and the benches and bullpens emptied. There was only some pushing and no ejections.I called a fastball in and he didnt appreciate that, Contreras said. After that he started talking to me and I stood in front of him.Before that, Cubs slugger Kris Bryant was twice hit by Lucas Harrell, one on a curveball, and Hunter Cervenka plunked Anthony Rizzo. Bryant didnt return to the field with stiffness in his left leg after his second hit by pitch.Markakis put Atlanta ahead with a two-run homer in the first off Jason Hammeel.ddddddddddddThe right-hander settled down to retire 11 straight before he was lifted with cramping in his thumb on the humid night after a four-pitch walk to Gordon Beckham.Its annoying, said Hammel, who said he had the issue one other time in his career. For a thumb to pull me out of a game, it ticks me off.After Lucas Harrell threw 7 2/3 innings of four-hit ball in his second straight impressive start, the Braves bullpen gave up the lead.Cervenka allowed an RBI single to Zobrist. Then Jim Johnson entered and the rookie Contreras hit a sinking liner to center that got by Ender Inciarte and scored two runs.But the Cubs couldnt bust out of a slump in the makeup of an April 30 rainout that was delayed 1 hour, 35 minutes by rain and included a scary pregame incident.A man was carted off Wrigley Field and hospitalized after he slipped and fell to the warning track while attempting to jump from the bleachers before the game. The Cubs didnt identify the man and didnt provide his condition.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran, Atlantas lone All-Star, returned to the team after being treated for an infection due to ingrown hair on his right thigh. Teheran thinks hell start Saturday. I threw a bullpen today and I feel pretty good, he said. ... Beckham (hamstring) started at shortstop and went 0 for 4 after being activated off the disabled list before the game. Emilio Bonifacio was designated for assignment.Cubs: CF Dexter Fowler (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Friday as the DH for Class A South Bend. Maddon said Fowler will play in the field Saturday, then theyll determine whether hell be activated so he can play in his first All-Star Game.HENDRICKS RELIEVESNot scheduled to start before the All-Star break, Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks made his first career relief appearance in the sixth. He walked one in two hitless innings.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Matt Wisler (3-8, 4.16 ERA) goes up against White Sox ace Chris Sale (14-2, 2.93) on Friday night.Cubs: RHP Jake Arrieta (12-3, 2.33) starts Friday night in the opener of a division series at surging Pittsburgh and LHP Francisco Liriano (5-8, 5.34).
