Key Matchups for Missouri’s Week 3 Matchup with Boston College
The No. 6 Missouri Tigers present what will likely be the toughest match of the season for the No. 24 Boston College Eagles.
Both Missouri and Boston College have started out the season 2-0, with the Eagles opening the season with a win over then-No. 10 ranked Florida State. This will be a key point of the season for both teams, with Missouri beginning SEC play in week 4 by hosting Vanderbilt.
Though Boston College enters the game as 15.5-point underdogs, they have experienced stars on both sides of the ball that could turn the tides with big performances. Here’s the three key matchups to watch in the week 3 matchup.
Missouri Offensive Tackles vs. Donovan Ezeiruaku
Missouri’s offensive line will have one of his toughest matchups of the season lining up across from him Saturday in Boston College’s Donovan Ezeiraku. The senior can line up on both ends of the line, posing a challenge to both left tackle Marcus Bryant and right tackle Armand Membou.
Ezeiraku recorded two sacks in Boston College’s week 1 win over Florida State. He’s been credited with seven pressures through the first two weeks of the season. Though he missed most of 2023 with injury, he recorded 6.5 sacks in 2022, earning him a spot on the All-ACC second team.
Though Missouri has done a solid job of keeping the pocket clean for quarterback Brady Cook in the first two weeks, Ezeiraku is a unique challenge. His burst off the line is rare and he follows it with expert hand contact. A violent tackler, he can also disrupt the run game, especially on wide zone runs that the Tigers’ offense is so fond of.
Missouri has only allowed seven pressures so far on the seaason, with three of them coming from Bryant. With a passing game that hasn’t quite clicked on all cylinders, enough time without pressure in Cook’s face will be crucial.
Thomas Castellanos’ Legs vs. Missouri Linebacker Core
The top storyline heading in this week has been clear — what damage could Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos could do the Missouri defense on the ground.
The main group in charge of the effort will be the linebacker core with featuring sound-tackler Chuck Hicks, the agile Corey Flagg and the speedy Khalil Jacobs. Triston Newson, playing at weak side linebacker, could help in tracking Castellanos down and possibly being used on quarterback spies.
While the Missouri defense held dual-threat Buffalo quarterback to just 19 yards, Castellanos and the Boston College offense pose a completely different challenge. In comparison to Buffalo’s offense with many designed runs, you can never be quite sure a play is over with Castellanos’ improvising.
“Last week, they went and did quite a bit with him and let him go vertically down the field based off what the coverage was given.,” Drinkwitz said in his weekly press conference. “So that’s a lot of growth there. Then, there hasn’t been a lot of quarterback design runs for him so far. I’m sure they’ve got them, it’s just been taking what defense gives them.”
If Castellanos can consistently find holes in the Missouri defense, the Eagles might be able to break the ice on the Missouri defense that is yet to allow a point.
Missouri Offense vs. Self-Inflicted Wounds
The Missouri offense, though efficient, has not been explosive nor penalty-free, in the first two weeks of the season. Its created inconsistency and lulls, especially in a scoreless first quarter against Buffalo.
Quarterback Brady Cook has only completed one of his seven passing attempts over 20 yards. The third-year starter has yet to nail down timing with his receiver group. Though the receiving core has made up for it with yards after the catch, the Tigers will likely need some fireworks against Boston College.
Additionally, the Missouri offense has been charged with 16 penalties through the first two weeks, with 13 being called on the offensive line. The Tigers drew plenty of flags in their week 2 win over Buffalo.
“10 penalties is always going to be an issue,” Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz said after the game. “We had three called back because we either weren’t on or we had too many people on. Those are self inflicted wounds that got to get cleaned up”
The Missouri offense will have to continue its efficient, disciplined play while avoiding penalties to avoid letting Boston College to create momentum needed for an upset. The Eagles’ defense will pose a good challenge for Missouri before heading into matchups with the unforgiving SEC.

Reinforcing the offensive line has been a priority for the New Orleans Saints, who opened free agency by signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract. Even though the franchise has allocated plenty of resources to its offensive line, the free agency addition won’t stop them from seeking more offensive line talent.
The franchise is focused on protecting second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. If a starting offensive lineman is injured, someone must step up. Currently, Asim Richards is the only reliable backup for left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. On the interior, Dillon Radunz would make sense as a reliable replacement if someone were to go down between Edwards, center Erik McCoy, and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Drafting a promising offensive lineman in 2026 makes sense, as the Saints hold five Day 3 picks. It’s unlikely general manager Mickey Loomis will spend early draft capital on a tackle, but a late pick is logical. Missouri’s Keagen Trost, projected for Day 3, could fit this need.
Trost, 25, recently worked out privately with the Saints, a source told Saints Wire. The Missouri standout earned a 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade in 13 games last season, ranking No. 1 among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He also allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps.
Trost’s high grades project him in the fifth round, and he offers versatility, including potential to move inside. At his pro day, he measured 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds. The main issue is his 32 3/8-inch arms, which are shorter than teams prefer for starting tackles. He has extensive SEC experience and strong college production to back it up.
Picks No. 150 and 172 in the fifth round are logical choices for New Orleans to consider selecting Trost. Multiple teams have shown interest in him; he had five pre-draft visits and recently held virtual meetings with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons, according to a source. While there are many highly regarded offensive linemen in this class, Trost’s versatility appears to set him apart from the others.
