TURBO RICHARD NEWS

Scores twice vs. Orange Richard notched 15 rushes for 102 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 34-12 win against Syracuse.

Impact The tailback closed out his year with two straight 100-yard, two-touchdown performances. Richard had a roller coaster of a season, but he still ran for 749 yards and nine touchdowns while reeling in 30 catches for 213 yards and two scores through the air, and he did that on a largely dysfunctional Boston College offense. Richard, who has two more seasons of eligibility, looks to have big things ahead of him.

Gashes Yellow Jackets Richard logged 11 rushes for 141 yards and two touchdowns and caught 3 of 5 targets for nine yards during Saturday's 36-34 loss against Georgia Tech.

Impact Richard exploded for 141 yards, his second-highest rushing total of the season. After three quiet games, he simply turned it on against the Yellow Jackets, taking fewer carries than he did in each of the previous two contests but racking up way more yards. These kinds of games are still outliers for Richard, but it's good to see him finally log another productive performance.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal impact in loss Richard posted 15 carries for 49 yards and caught 3 of 5 targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 45-13 defeat against Southern Methodist.

Impact Richard was unable to get going on the ground once again in Boston College's unproductive offense. He's been getting consistent looks for the Eagles, as he averages 13.2 carries and 2.9 catches each game, but he's been unable to turn that into consistent production. With a tough Georgia Tech squad up next, it doesn't get much easier for the tailback moving forward.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Stymied vs. Irish Richard recorded 16 carries for 26 yards and gathered in 4 of 5 targets for nine yards during Saturday's 25-10 loss to Notre Dame.

Impact Richard was completely shut down on the ground for the second consecutive game. It's simply hard to trust this Boston College offense right now, let alone its running game especially considering the Eagles are likely trailing in any given moment. It doesn't necessarily get any easier in Week 11 with SMU on tap next.

Playing against Notre Dame Richard (shoulder) is warming up and set to play in Saturday's game against Notre Dame, Graham Dietz of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Richard missed The Eagles' most recent game against Louisville with a shoulder injury, but he'll now be back in action just a week later. The sophomore running back has logged 88 rushes for 431 yards and five touchdowns on 4.9 yards per attempt through seven games this season. He should be a key for Boston College if they hope to even put up a fight against the Fighting Irish.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

DNP Saturday Richard (shoulder) was held out of Saturday's contest against Louisville.

Impact Richard was previously listed as a game-time decision against the Cardinals but was eventually unable to suit up. The 5-foot-8 running back has been an impact player for the Eagles this season, running for 431 yards and five touchdowns on 4.9 yards per attemp through seven games to go along with 19 receptions for 175 yards and a pair of scores through the air as well. His next chance to return will come against Notre Dame next Saturday.

Game-time call for Week 9 Richard (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Louisville.

Impact Richard was knocked out of the game against UConn in Week 8, and the tailback will be a true game-time call for Saturday's contest. If he's out, expect Jordan McDonald to handle most of the touches in the Eagles' backfield.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Richard (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game at Louisville, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Richard, who was knocked out of last Saturday's loss to UConn with a shoulder injury, is now questionable for Week 9 due to that injury. He has rushed 88 times for 431 yards and five touchdowns and caught 19 passes for 175 yards and two scores so far this season, so his availability is very important for the Eagles. If he cannot go, Jordan McDonald would be set for an increase in playing time.

Dealing with shoulder ailment Richard was knocked out of Boston College's loss to UConn with a shoulder ailment and didn't return, per BC Interruption.

Impact Richard only logged six carries before getting knocked out of the game, which let Jordan McDonald assume the top ball-carrier role for the Eagles in his stead. McDonald wound up rushing for 124 yards in his stead, while Richard's status remains unknown heading into Week 9 in a tough matchup with Louisville.

Held quiet vs. UConn Richard posted six carries for 25 yards and hauled in their only target for four yards during Saturday's 38-23 loss against Connecticut.

Impact Richard was coming off an 18-carry outing against Clemson just one week prior, but the tailback was held to just six handoffs in Week 8 as Boston College lost to UConn. Jordan McDonald, meanwhile, took 24 handoffs, seeing his production spike as a result. The Eagles' entire offensive backfield is awash with uncertainty right now, as backup quarterback Grayson James got the start while the usually heavily-utilized Richard was held to minimal carries. It's unclear how backfield work will be divided moving forward for Boston College.

Tallies 75 yards despite blowout Richard notched 18 rushes for 75 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 1 of 2 targets for six yards during Saturday's 41-10 defeat against Clemson.

Impact Richard managed to put together a respectable stat-line despite the Eagles getting blown out for the second straight week. That's a good sign after the tailback was completely shut down against Pittsburgh two weeks ago, because Boston College figures to remain rather uncompetitive moving forward. It's good to know that the tailback can contribute even while the Eagles are getting blown out, because again, that could become a familiar refrain.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Silent as Eagles pounded by Pitt Richard posted six rushes for two yards and reeled in their only target for negative three yards during Saturday's 48-7 loss versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Richard totaled -1 yards when all was said and done, and that's emblematic of just how dysfunctional this Boston College offense was against Pitt. The Eagles used three quarterbacks, only the third of whom could orchestrate a scoring drive. After a monster day against California, Richard came tumbling back down to earth, victim of his own incompetent offense. One has to hope this is rock bottom for Boston College and in turn, Richard's production.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Piles up yardage in loss Richard notched 15 carries for 171 yards and two touchdowns and caught 4 of 6 targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 28-24 defeat to California.

Impact Richard averaged 15 carries through three games, and indeed, he took 15 handoffs in Week 5 against the Golden Bears. Only this time, he exploded for 171 rushing yards, shattering his previous season high of 55. Adding another four receptions, Richard continued to prove that he's going to be a focal point of this offense regardless of how the game is unfolding. Saturday, he had the big day he's been waiting for all season.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Poses receiving threat once again Richard tallied 14 carries for 55 yards and gathered in 5 of 7 targets for 83 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-20 loss versus Stanford.

Impact Richard caught seven passes for 55 yards in Week 2, and he was back at it doing damage through the air against Stanford even as Boston College fell to 1-2. The tailback has yet to rush for more than 55 yards in a game this season, but his receiving output is helping bolster his fantasy production for the time being.

Impact Richard was once again the Eagles' leading rusher, but after he was a non-factor as a receiver in Week 1, the tailback reeled in seven grabs in the overtime loss. Boston College threw the ball 45 times, so there were plenty of targets to go around, but Richard proved he can be a factor through the air as well. And with how well Boston College's quarterback, Dylan Lonergan, has played this far, that bodes well.

Leading rusher with 16 carries Richard accrued 16 carries for 48 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 66-10 victory over Fordham.

Impact Richard led the way for Boston College on the ground, but couldn't turn his 16 carries into anything more than a modest 48 yards rushing. The Eagles' ground game didn't need to be spectacular when their passing attack tossed for four touchdowns with deadly efficiency, but Richard will look to produce more than 3.0 yards-per-carry next week against Michigan State.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Co-starting with McDonald Richard is listed as a co-starter with Jordan McDonald on BC's initial depth chart, per AJ Black of 247Sports.com.

Impact Richard is coming off a very promising freshman year with Boston College where he ran for 278 yards and two touchdowns on 5.1 yards-per-carry. However, he'll share the starter designation with the senior McDonald, who posted 361 yards rushing and three touchdowns last season on 6.8 yards-per-carry. Both backs figure to accrue plenty of carries this fall.
