For Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski, the goal of spring ball, especially the spring game, was simple.

"Stay healthy," said Jagodzinski, who begins his second season at BC.

The day now-former quarterback Matt Ryan became the highest BC draft pick ever (No. 3) and offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus followed at No. 17 (cornerback DeJuan Tribble went the second day), the Eagles held an abbreviated scrimmage at Alumni Stadium. Jagodzinski left the field "very pleased" with what had transpired in spring ball.

"I was happy with the way spring ended," Jagodzinski said. "We didn't have any major injuries."

But they did, just the same, lose one player—defensive end Brady Smith was booted from the team after being arrested on a sexual-assault charge.
