Score gonna look way worse than this game actually was. Shame. Bad way to end an otherwise amazing year.

Lashlee takes a TO to force BC to score again and make this game look like a bigger blowout than it was?

The worst part is we just gave validation to the CFP committee for keeping us out of a NY6 bowl.

Jennings showed us in the 2nd half why he is the backup QB. Good thing SMU didn't get invited to play against Oregon. Will be interesting to see if Liberty can compete with the Ducks

Bowl games are weird, but I fully expect UO with Bo Nix and company playing to smash Liberty. And I absolutely think they would have done the same to us.

This game is disappointing, and for me a bit sobering as well. ACC may be a bigger adjustment than I expected considering how BC (a mediocre ACC team) dominated the line of scrimmage, stuffed our run game, and had a QB who ran all over us. Not that I thought we were going to kill it next season, but I may need to readjust expectations.

BC is the better team. They left no doubt. Next season may be a long one as
we enter ACC play.

BC was the better team today ... but based on what we saw all season, SMU is better. Congrats to BC on a deserved win, but I can't agree that they're better than we are.

Trying to be objective here. With Stone in a neutral site, I truly believe we win.

But, itΓÇÖs concerning that i) RL did not call a game plan knowing the weather conditions to suit Jennings, not Stone and ii) our Ds really poor tackling.

We canΓÇÖt control the weather and the refs, but the play calling and poor tackling are huge concerns going into next season.
