SMU vs Boston College team news & key players
SMU Mustangs team news
Kevin Jennings has been having a breakout season. The sophomore QB has eclipsed 250 passing yards in five straight games, including a 300-yard outing against Pittsburgh. Jennings has accumulated 1,900 passing yards with a 12:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio, showcasing his efficiency.
SMU’s rushing attack has been formidable, led by senior RB Brashard Smith, one of the top backs in the nation. Smith has hit the 100-yard mark in five games this season, amassing 906 yards overall. Though RJ Maryland, the team's leading receiver, is out for the season with a knee injury, Key'Shawn Smith has stepped up as a valuable target. The senior WR recorded 89 receiving yards against Pittsburgh and has totaled 354 yards on the season.
Boston College Eagles team news
Thomas Castellanos made headlines by leaving the program this week after being benched. The junior QB had been putting up impressive numbers with 1,366 passing yards and an 18:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Taking over under center is Grayson James, who has posted 291 passing yards with a 2:1 TD-to-INT ratio across two games.
Boston College is expected to focus on the ground game, deploying a quartet of running backs. Trehsaun Ward, who has racked up 369 rushing yards this season, is capable of big plays but was sidelined last week and remains questionable. Stepping up last week was Kye Robichaux, who powered through with 198 rushing yards, bringing his season total to 471. In the receiving department, Lewis Bond is the go-to target, with the junior WR recording 438 yards, including one 100-yard game.
