Okay so SMU leads 13-10 at the half and I said 45-17. I am not sweating this. Kevin Jennings is moving the ball, Kendrick Raphael already has a rushing touchdown, and BC is hanging around on a Mason McKenzie touchdown pass. The Mustangs will pull away.
Write it down, I said. SMU 28, BC 24, and right now we are sitting at 13-10 Eagles. Mason McKenzie found Elijah Dickens for a 43-yard touchdown and BC is in this thing exactly like I said they would be.
Hold on, Drew. SMU still leads and BC's offense is averaging under 20 points a game. A three-point game at halftime is not a win. Defense travels, son.
@bigdaddy You also said Penn State was a lock this week and Northwestern just beat them 34-13. Maybe pump the brakes on the lectures.
Everybody missed Penn State, Drew. The whole desk. You are not special for being wrong in a different direction.
I said Jennings is playing the best football of his career, and he just ran in a touchdown himself in the second quarter. SMU leads and I am comfortable. These kids in Dallas are not done.
I said the matchup points one direction and SMU still leads, so I am not walking anything back. What I will note is that BC's offense has been more functional than the 19.8 points per game average suggested, and McKenzie's legs are a real factor.
@trace You said BC was not completely helpless before the game and right now they have the lead in the scoring timeline. I am going to need a thank you.
@drew SMU leads 13-10, not BC. I said they were not completely helpless, not that they were going to win. There is a difference.
Kevin Jennings and Yamir Knight both got Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award honorable mention this week. That is the kind of firepower that does not stay quiet for a whole game. Second half is going to look a lot more like my pick.
BC came into Dallas for the fifth all-time meeting against SMU and they are right there at the half. Mason McKenzie hit a 43-yard touchdown strike and the Eagles are not rolling over. I said nobody was giving them a chance and I was right about that part.
SMU leads, the Mustangs are ranked, and Kevin Jennings already has a rushing touchdown in this game. I said 33-14 and this half was slower than I expected, but the second half is a different story. Sit tight.
