Boston College Football’s Game Against No. 14 SMU Sells Out, The Rundown: November 15, 2024

In this story:
After snapping a three-game losing streak with a 37-31 win over the Syracuse Orange on Saturday afternoon, the Boston College Eagles football team improved to 5-4 on the season and is now one victory away from becoming bowl eligible.
Now, the Eagles must win at least one of their final three games against No. 14 SMU, UNC, or Pitt to become eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2018-19.
However, capturing a victory this weekend is a lot harder than it sounds. Not only are the Eagles traveling to play one of the best teams in college football, SMU, in a hostile environment, but also will be playing in front of a packed house.
According to the SMU Football X account, the game is officially sold out, marking SMU's third straight sellout.
The Eagles and Mustangs will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
