In a decisive victory, SMU's Kevin Jennings threw for three touchdowns and 326 yards, leading the Mustangs past Boston College 45-13 in the Red Bandana Game on Saturday. The game honours the memory of Welles Crowther, a BC graduate who tragically lost his life on 9/11 while rescuing people in the World Trade Center. Jennings' performance was marked by three TD throws, including a 61-yarder to Yamir Knight, who slipped inside the pylon for the score. Boston College's Dylan Lonergan attempted 25-of-37 passes for 232 yards, including a touchdown and an interception. The Eagles' starting quarterback, Grayson James, was benched after fumbling twice in the opening quarter. SMU took control of the game with a 17-0 lead before Boston College managed to score a pair of field goals in the second quarter. The loss marks the Eagles' ninth consecutive defeat, the worst season since their 0-11 record in 1978. Boston College has two chances to end the season on a high note, with home games against Georgia Tech next week and Syracuse on Thanksgiving weekend. SMU, meanwhile, will host No. 14 Louisville in two weeks, a game that could significantly impact the ACC's bid for the College Football playoff picture.
