2. Before the season started we heard a lot of Heisman hype for BC running back AJ Dillon, did he live up to the hype? And for those who don’t know him very well what are his strengths and weaknesses as a player?

"Unfortunately for Dillon, he has been battling injuries since the Temple game in Week 5, which has really limited him this year. He missed two games with the injury and parts of other games, but has still eclipsed 1,000 yards for the second straight year. When healthy, Dillon is a rare combination of power, balance and vision. You can’t tackle him with just one guy, he is capable of running you over or running by you, and he runs with great vision and patience. The injury has slowed him down this year, but he is still a special back. The areas where he needs to improve are as a pass catcher and as a pass protector."
