2024 Missouri Football Early Opponent Preview, Game 3: Boston College
For the Tigers third matchup of their 2024-25 campaign, Missouri will welcome in the Boston College Eagles to Faurot Field. The meeting occurs on the early afternoon of September 14.
The Eagles finished tenth in the ACC this past season, with a 7-6 overall record and 3-5 in conference play. This was a significant improvement from the season prior, where the Eagles were one of the worst teams in the conference, finishing 3-9.
Boston College did reach the Fenway Bowl last season, where they took down SMU 23-14. It was their first postseason appearance since 2019 where they fell 38-6 in the Birmingham Bowl. They made the 2021 Military Bowl against East Carolina, but it was canceled.
Arguably the biggest addition for the Eagles this offseason will not be suited up in pads. When former head coach Jeff Hafley took a job in the NFL as the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, Boston College gave former Penn State and Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien a call.
O’Brien has plenty of accolades, including winning Big 10 Coach of the Year with the Nittany Lions in 2012. It’s been four years since O’Brien was a head coach, but the Eagles may have scored big with their new hire. He has past success in both leagues and his experience could prove impactful for a Boston College team looking for a big ACC season. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Boston College Eagles.
The face of the Eagles offense last season was sophomore quarterback Thomas Castellanos. A composite 3-star out of high school, Castellanos committed to Central Florida from Waycross, Ga. He barely touched the field for the Knights in year one, only throwing 16 passes for 75 yards.
Castellanos flipped the script last season after transferring to Boston College. He led the team in both passing and rushing yards. On the ground, he ran for 1,113 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was equally active in the air, tossing 15 touchdowns to go along with 14 interceptions and 2,248 yards. He racked up a 57.3% completion percentage as well.
The Eagles will have plenty of options on the ground, not including Castellanos. Senior Kye Robichaux was the second-leading rusher, running for 780 yards and 8 touchdowns. This was the best season of his career compared to his two prior seasons with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Kansas State graduate transfer Treshaun Ward will also provide a threat as he ran for 643 yards and 5 touchdowns. He rushed for 46 yards on 9 attempts against Missouri early last season, while also racking up 61 receiving yards on 5 receptions. He was the leading rusher for the Wildcats in this matchup. Junior UCF transfer Jordan McDonald should also get a couple of looks on the ground, as could last year’s backup Alex Broome.
It remains unclear who the Eagles top receiving threat will be next season. They return their leader in receiving yards from last season, Lewis Bond, with 646 yards. They are also bringing in Junior Vanderbilt transfer Jayden McGowan and Senior Texas Tech transfer Jerand Bradley. Both were productive for their respective power-5 schools last season and both could be top options for Castellanos this year.
The Tigers did a very good job of not allowing lots of rushing yards by quarterbacks, with now Washington Commander Jayden Daniels lighting Missouri up for 130 yards. The mobility of Castellanos is one of the Eagles’ best offensive weapons, so if that can get shut down with the Missouri secondary clicking, the Tigers should walk out with unscathed.
Graduate Kam Arnold will return to Boston College as their leading tackler. He recorded 65 tackles last season, as well as 1 sack and a forced fumble. They have two other big returners on the defensive line with graduate student Cam Horsley and Senior Donovan Ezeiruaku.
Junior cornerback Amari Jackson also returns for the Eagles next season, who posted 38 tackles and a single interception last year. He was one of four Boston College players to record an interception. They took a huge hit in the secondary with cornerback Elijah Jones declaring for the NFL Draft, which ended with him being selected in the third round by the Arizona Cardinals.
Their headline transfer on the defensive side is former Ohio State safety Cameron Martinez. He only recorded 40 career tackles for the Buckeyes in three seasons, as well as one interception in the 2021 season. Georgia State graduate transfer Bryquice Brown could also step into an immediate role in the Eagles secondary. He posted 35 tackles and an interception last season.
Boston College allowed the third most yards in the ACC last season and the second most on the ground. The roles could reverse this season, with the secondary improving and the front line taking some hits. The Tigers bring in a strong receiving core and a running back room that took hits. That may match up well for the Eagles, but the likes of Marcus Carroll, Nate Noel, Jamal Roberts and others should be talented enough to offset it.
The Tigers only power-5 opponent in the out-of-conference portion of the schedule was Kansas State, which ended in an all-so-memorable finish for Missouri. It shouldn’t be as much of a nailbiter this time around, as Missouri has appeared to improve.
Boston College was ranked fourteenth in CBS Sports preseason power rankings, only behind Pittsburgh, Virginia and Stanford. It would be a surprise if the Tigers did not leave Farout Field in week three with a win.

2024 Missouri Football Early Opponent Preview, Game 2: Buffalo
American Idol‘s latest installment has come to end. After a notable season that brought contestants to Hawaii and featured a tribute to Taylor Swift, Season 24 wrapped with a three-hour long episode that saw hopefuls Jordan McCullough, Hannah Harper, and Keyla Richardson compete for the final spot.
In the end, Missouri native Harper took the crown. In the first round of the finale, Alicia Keys stepped in as a guest mentor for contestants, and Harper performed a bluegrass rendition of the Grammy winner’s chart-topping hit, “No One.” In the second turn, Harper sang a song she wrote herself, titled “Married Into This Town,” and reprised “String Cheese,” another song she penned and memorably sang for her audition, for the last round.
During a previous interview with Music Mayhem, Harper said that she grew up playing “bluegrass gospel music in churches every single weekend from age nine until I was 16.” She was drawn to singers like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain, who impacted her approach to music.
“I was raised super conservative, and so I knew of Dolly Parton, and we didn’t listen to a bunch of her music, but she was definitely somebody that I was drawn to. So extravagant. It’s so fun. And she’s such a good showman,” Harper said. “But I was a big Shania Twain fan, like early ‘90s Shania. That was the one tape that we had on, on the regular that my mom let me listen to.”
This year’s season saw judges Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Bryan relocate the famous “Hollywood Week” for contestants who make it past auditions — trading Los Angeles for Nashville. There was also a special Ohana round in Hawaii that brought 30 finalists before an “industry” panel that included Kelly Sutton, the first female full-time host of the Grand Ole Opry, and Cheryl Porter, a vocal coach and Broadway star, and Rolling Stone‘s own Co-Editor-in-Chief, Shirley Halperin.
Halperin wrote about the experience, while detailing how the show has evolved since its debut over two decades ago. “Each hopeful brought their A game and looked fabulous doing it. How were we to choose? As it turned out, the ones who took the biggest risk — by performing an original song — had an edge,” Halperin noted. “As for our panel, we discussed the contestants’ ages and how they handled the stress of competing. We took note of their backstories, and were inspired by them. We recognized unique voices and range. But in the end, we favored musicianship over potential.”
A Jackson County judge on Friday denied Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s attempt to immediately stop Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman and several affiliated companies from selling kratom products.
The motion for a temporary restraining order, which was filed alongside the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, took particular aim at the more potent 7-OH products, which Hanaway argues are “hazardous opioids” banned by state and federal law.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Charles McKenzie’s ruling Friday stated there are “competing affidavits” from experts on both sides of the argument, following a hearing on the motion earlier this week.
“The court cannot find, based on the oral argument of the parties, the respective competing affidavits presented and the pleadings, whether the plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits at this juncture in the proceedings in order for the court to grant relief in the form of a temporary restraining order,” McKenzie’s order states.
Hanaway’s argument was backed by sworn statements from an undercover narcotics officer with the highway patrol who said 7-OH is being used to cut fentanyl and a woman whose brother died from a kratom overdose.
Her office also submitted an FDA report that points to 7-OH as “a potent opioid that poses an emerging public health threat” and states health data showing synthetic 7-OH was involved in at least 197 Missouri deaths.
American Shaman submitted statements of its own from five toxicology and addiction experts, who largely said there wasn’t enough evidence to show that 7-OH and kratom posed a public health risk. One who researched narcotics said she had never heard of 7-OH being used to cut fentanyl.
Company owner Vince Sanders’ statement detailed how he came up with the idea to create 7-OH products, which now have an “enormous” demand, particularly among people who need pain management.
Sanders could not be reached for comment about the ruling on Friday.
McKenzie denied a temporary restraining order “without prejudice,” meaning that he would like to see more evidence.
“It is because of this finding that the court determines it necessary to hold an additional hearing,” he wrote, “where it can consider the parties’ respective positions with the potential of testimonial evidence and other properly introduced evidence, all as more fully developed by the parties, in order to further analyze these issues.”
The judge will consider “other injunctive relief sought in the pleadings at a future hearing to consider the issues,” the order states.
Hanaway filed a similar lawsuit Thursday against Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC, and its owners Dustin Robinson and Ajaykumar Patel.
The group received a warning letter from the FDA for producing 7-OH products last year, similar to one received by Shaman Botanicals.
“This is another step in our ongoing crackdown on kratom manufacturers who flout the law and try to justify endangering Missourians in the name of profit,” Hanaway said in a press release Thursday.
“Our mission is to safeguard Missourians from unregulated and addictive substances, and we will continue to pursue every legal tool available to protect public health and safety.”
