On Saturday afternoon, the Boston College football team marched into Dallas to face off against the #14 SMU Mustangs for a brand new ACC match-up that was also a rematch of last year’s Fenway Bowl in Boston. BC started QB Grayson James this week after Thomas Castellanos was benched and left the program for the transfer portal in the middle of the season. Asking a new starting QB to take on one of the best teams in the ACC was certainly a challenge, and he performed admirably, but ultimately it resulted in a 31-28 SMU victory.
The game started out hot for the Mustangs as they drove down the field fairly easily on their opening drive and looked to open up the scoring.
