Extra Point: Where will Thomas Castellanos and Kye Robichaux Finish on the All-Time BC Leading Rushers List?
With Thomas Castellanos and Kye Robichaux climbing their way up the Boston College all-time rushing charts, a big question is worth asking.
Where will they stack up when it's all said and done? The Eagles and first year head coach Bill O'Brien have made it a point of emphasis to control the tempo of both games thus far with the run game, and despite using multiple backfield weapons to do so, Castellanos and Robichaux remain the spearhead of that attack.
Castellanos is currently 38th on the charts with 1,194 career rushing yards to his credit, while Robichaux sits at 47th at the moment with a career total of 892 for the Eagles. In order to crack the top 20 and beat out former BC standout Cedric Washington (1,982 yards), Castellanos has his work cut out for him.
If Robichaux wishes to climb the ranks, he can do so sooner rather than later, as he only has almost 300 yards to go to break into the top 40 all time leaders at BC. Despite their careers at BC being relatively short compared to others on the list, it is undeniable that the two have made an impact on the program as a whole.
For the first time since 2018, Boston College heads into this week's matchup with No. 6 Missouri ranked inside the AP Top 25 with a chance to make some more history. The last time a top 25 Boston College team beat a ranked opponent? 2007. Nearly 20 years ago.
The stage is set, as BC vs. Missouri is one of only two ranked matchups on this weekend's slate.
