The Boston College Eagles limp into the Fenway Bowl hoping to end a three-game skid that closed their regular season. The Eagles are 6-6 and hoping to avoid a losing record when they take on the red-hot SMU Mustangs on Thursday. The Eagles closed the regular season with a one-sided 45-20 loss to the Miami Hurricanes at home. The Eagles were led by quarterback Thomas Castellanos who ran for 130 yards and a touchdown and went 15-of-30 for 151 yards and a touchdown through the air. He was, however, intercepted twice in the loss.
The Eagles were not hit hard by the transfer portal or players prepping for the draft so they will come into this game virtually intact. Offensively, they are led by quarterback Castellanos. He took over the starting job by the second game of the season and was the team's top rusher with 957 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has become the primary running threat with the season-ending injury to sta rting running back Pat Garwo III. Through the air, Castellanos went 178-of-312 for 2146 yards with 15 touchdowns. He has thrown 13 interceptions on the season as well. Wide receiver Lewis Bond leads the team with 611 yards receiving and seven touchdowns.
Defensively, the Eagles are led by linebacker Vinny DePalma. He has 87 tackles on the season including 1.5 for loss. The Eagles have struggled to generate a pass rush this season with Donovan Ezeiruaku tied with two other teammates with two sacks. Defensive back Elijah Jones leads the team with five interceptions.
The Eagles come into the Fenway Bowl hopeful of finishing the season on a winning note. They come in with the 76th scoring offense in the country. They are 66th in total offense this season. The Eagles, led by Castellanos, have the 37th-ranked rushing attack. They are just 98th in the country through the air. Defensively, the Eagles have the 69th-ranked total defense in the country. They are a dismal 124th against the run but 32nd against the pass. In terms of turnovers, the Eagles are 90th in giveaways this season which is a big concern. They are 62nd in takeaways thus far.
Key Injuries: Jaylen Blackwell LB (undisclosed), DE Shitta Sillah (undisclosed), TE George Takacs (leg), WR Ryan O'Keefe (neck) and RB Garwo III (leg) are all out.
