BC RB Finch out with mono

The depth chart at running back at Boston College became even thinner this afternoon when BC coach Frank Spaziani announced that freshman running back Rolandan Finch had mononucleosis and would be sidelined for three to four weeks. Spaziani said that the doctors would then re-evaulate Finch, a 5-foot-10 inch 201 pound freshman who became ill last week before the Notre Dame game. Without Finch and without Josh Haden, who announced his decision to transfer from BC on Tuesday, the Eagles have to reshuffle their backs.

Spaziani said that senior Jeff Smith and senior James McCluskey would pick up additional playing time for Saturday's game against Central Michigan. Spaziani also listed middle linebacker Mike McLaughlin (leg) and right tackle Rich Lapham (shoulder) as doubtful and defensive left tackle Kaleb Ramsey (shoulder) and left defensive end Alex Albright (ankle)as questionable.
