OFFICIAL: SMU vs Boston College Predictions

[ALEX LIFESON]

This game is NOW, the biggest game since the 1980's. AAC Championship, CFP, National Ranking...all on the line. Perfect weather, partly sunny and 72 predicted at kickoff. Boston College is an old school pound the ball team. QB Thomas Castellanos, tortured SMU in their beatdown of the Stangs in last years Bowl game. Thomas had a minor injury in their victory against Syracuse, so expect their coach to play cat and mouse on which QB will start. There are still tickets remaining, time to get everyone you know into Ford Stadium...this team has earned our support. Name your score, announced attendance and actual butts in seats. The time is now.....Let's Go Mustangs!

Going to be a knife fight in a phone booth...but we pull away late...

I'll keep picking the other team every week since it seems to work. Castellanos has a career day and BC beats us 28-27 on a last minute scramble for a TD. 27,000.

With the other Dallas football team dead in the water, Ponies are talk of the town. We need 30K+ to see us dismantle BC for some Fenway Bowl redemption.

The bowl game was a joke. The weather and the sloppy field took away our speed advantage on offense. KJ was nowhere near the player he is now. The sports writers seemed to agree as we still finished in the top 25 despite the loss.

34-17 Stangs

I think the ponies get revenge for Fenway and win this one easily.

SMU - 35
BC - 14

This will be a very physical game with BC trying to run it down our throats and burn as much clock to shorten the game as possible. Our D is much tougher this year so give me SMU 34 BC 20 in front of about 32,500

We're wearing all black (this would be good if we were the NZ National Rugby Team or Batman). I thought all blue was a tough look but this is worse.

I am probably the biggest advocate of our traditional uniforms (heck I want to see the Diamond M lettering in the end zones!$ but my husband & son think we look bad [deleted] in the black uniforms. If it makes our team tougher, I’m good w/them.
That being said, I hate to say this but BC 31-Us 17.

ESPN reporting Castellannos not going to get the start against SMU...waiting for the curse of the back-up QB rant to begin....

Oh wait, I just mentioned it!

Revised prediction: BC ain't winning.

[leopold]

I'm watching the BC/Syracuse highlights and they're just not that impressive. Syracuse seemed to move the ball fairly easily and I don't expect us to have the same problems against their running game as the Orange did. We start fast and put it in auto drive, much like Pitt.
