Boston College will visit No. 21 SMU at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas for a noon ET kickoff on Saturday, Oct. 3. The Eagles enter the game with a 2-2 record, coming off a narrow 21-14 loss to Virginia Tech where quarterback Mason McKenzie rushed for a career-best 138 yards on 26 carries and scored twice. McKenzie also completed 11 of 23 passes for 111 yards in that contest.
SMU, holding a 3-1 record, arrives fresh off a win over Missouri State. Quarterback Kevin Jennings threw for 464 yards in that game, setting a new school career passing record for the Mustangs. The matchup offers a test for Boston College's defense against a high-powered SMU passing attack.

Boston College’s schedule has been a mixed bag so far. After opening the season with a 34-15 loss at Cincinnati, the Eagles recorded wins over Rutgers and Maine before falling to Virginia Tech. The road test at SMU is the team’s second away game this season. Following this, Boston College’s schedule includes home games against Pittsburgh and Florida State, and road trips to Georgia Tech, Duke, Notre Dame, and Miami.
SMU has leveraged Jennings’ passing ability to establish an offensive rhythm this season. His 464-yard performance against Missouri State proved a milestone that could fuel the Mustangs’ confidence against Boston College’s defense.
Both teams have shown flashes of strength but will be looking to build consistency as they navigate the midseason stretch. Boston College will rely on McKenzie’s dual-threat capabilities to challenge SMU’s defense, while the Mustangs will aim to exploit their aerial advantage.
The latest confirmed details for fans are the Saturday noon start time and the broadcast availability on The CW and DIRECTV. The game marks an important opportunity for Boston College to improve its record on the road against a ranked opponent.
