Boston College's quarterback, Thomas Castellanos, had an outstanding performance in the Fenway Bowl, rushing for 155 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns, leading the team to their first bowl game victory since 2016. The Eagles defeated No. 24 SMU, with Castellanos running for two crucial fourth-quarter touchdowns. The victory marks a significant achievement for Boston College football. In another game, Rutgers secured a 31-24 win over Miami, marking their first bowl game victory since 2014 and completing their first winning season in 9 years. Rutgers also demonstrated dominance over current ACC foes, showcasing the program's elevation since joining the B1G. The B1G conference remains unbeaten in bowl games, with Northwestern, Minnesota, and Rutgers securing victories.
how about Rutgers football beating University of Miami, 31-24, in the Pinstripe Bowl? Good win for Knights playing in the city. Also speaks volumes about quality of play in the ACC this season.
So, Rutgers takes down Miami, 31-24, and the B1G is unbeaten in bowl games (3-0) So far. Northwestern, Minnesota and Rutgers in the clubhouse.
Rutgers is 4-0 vs. current ACC foes over the last three seasons. All are former Big East foes. At Syracuse ✅ At Boston College ✅ Virginia Tech ✅ Miami (bowl game) ✅ A sign that joining the B1G has elevated the program despite it taking a long time to rise up in the league.
The B1G is off to a 3-0 start in bowl games. All that TV money paying off.
For the first time in program history, Rutgers beats former Big East rival Miami. Miami had left Rutgers for dead in the Big East, and now Rutgers is the one in a conference that Miami would ideally love to be in.
Rutgers outlasts Miami 31-24 to win its first bowl game & complete its first winning season in 9 years. Identity won this game. Physicality beat speed. Special teams changed momentum. The run game wore down the Miami defense. The Rutgers defense made enough plays to win.
I don't care what Miami's record is or how many guys it was missing. Rutgers beating Miami in a bowl game is big deal for that program, which finishes with its first winning record since 2014.
Rutgers wins their first bowl game since 2014📈 https://t.co/XAraBpRLhT
Miami and Rutgers met 11 times when they were both conference rivals in the Big East. Miami went 11-0, and so Rutgers could be closing in on their first win in program history over the Canes. 👀
Thomas Castellanos sizzled in the clutch, the defense dominated in the second half and the Eagles cemented a statement win over SMU. They hope this is just the beginning. "Next year will be special. Boston College football will be different. It will be." https://t.co/WAibsL9Ry7
I’ve really enjoyed the bowl games so far this week. Rutgers and Miami are continuing that trend.
