How to Watch: Boston College at Missouri; Full Week 3 College Football Schedule
The No. 6 Missouri Tigers will face off against the No. 24 Boston College Eagles for one of only two ranked matchups of week 3. The Tigers will be the only team in the top 10 facing a ranked opponent.
Both Missouri and Boston College enter week 3 undefeated, making 2024 the first time since 2021 that Boston College has begun the season 2-0.
The Eagles have gotten off to a hot start, opening the season with a 28-13 win over Florida State, ranked No. 10 in the nation at the time. Head coach Bill O'Brien has led the efforts in his first stint as a head coach since he was fired by the NFL's Houston Texans as head coach and general manager in 2020. He spent the 2023 season as the New England Patriots' assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach.
This is O'Brien's second tenure as a head coach at the college level, leading Penn State in 2012 and 2013 and being named the B10 Coach of the Year in 2012.
A win for Missouri would make it the second-straight season that the Tigers started 3-0 with a win over a ranked opponent in week 3.
