The post TC era begins after an odd abrupt end. All hail Grayson James! Pulling for this kid with a sneaky start after growing up nearby and going to Texas powerhouse Duncanville. I have an odd confidence that will most likely be crushed 5 mins into the game.

Go Eagles!

When you are 18.5 point underdogs a lot of things have to go right…and even then you need some good fortune. Things BC needs to do today.

1. Run the ball. Don’t be in a hurry. No uptempo.

2. Keep SMU offense off the field.

3. Tackle in space. SMU is going to throw a lot of balls at the line of scrimmage suggesting their athletes are better than ours. Need to be aggressive and tackle. Those can’t turn into 12-13 yard gains and 2nd and 2’s.

4. Just be average in the kicking game. 35-40 yard punts. Below average but not killers. Make extra points and field goals inside of 40 yards.

5. Need two SMU turnovers.

6. Don’t fall down 14-0 quickly. Don’t turn this into a game where James is dropping back 30 plus times.
