SMU will face a largely different Boston College team than last year's Fenway Bowl.
SMU cornerback Jaelyn Davis-Robinson kneels in prayer with teammates before an NCAA football game against Pitt at Ford Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, in Dallas.“It’s new teams. They’ve got a new team. I think they’re better this year. We have a new team. I think we’re better this year,” Lashlee said this week. “They’ve got a brand new coach. Yeah, some of the players are the same. Obviously, we didn’t like the outcome of that game. They beat us.
“You can see already this year just his fingerprints on that program,” Lashlee said. “They’re tough. They play really good defense. They run the football well on offense, more of an old-school NFL offensive approach, which you don’t see as much anymore, so it’s a challenge.”Jennings said he’s seen improvements from BC’s defense, which allows just 23 points per game — 5.31 fewer than last season on average.
But O’Brien announced earlier this week that he would be benching Castellanos, who played in eight games this year, for quarterback Grayson James, a Duncanville product who has played in just two. Castellanos has since removed himself from the program and is expected to enter the transfer portal.
