Notre Dame Rout Boston College 41-7: 31-0 at Halftime for 11th Straight Win Over the Eagles
On November 14 at a sold-out Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, No. 5 College Football Playoff-ranked Notre Dame beat Boston College 41-7 for its 11th straight win over the Eagles, building a 31-0 halftime lead.
Quarterback CJ Carr completed 20 of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns, to Micah Gilbert and Jordan Faison. Gilbert caught five passes for a team-high 86 yards. Notre Dame's offense was balanced with 224 passing yards and 276 rushing yards for 500 total yards. Freshman running back Jonaz Walton rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown, and Nolan James Jr. also ran for a score, extending his touchdown streak to 10 straight games.
Notre Dame's defense stifled Boston College all day, holding the Eagles to 136 total yards, the fewest the Irish have ever allowed Boston College in 29 meetings. Late in the first half, Boubacar Traore's strip sack was recovered in the end zone by Jaylen Sneed for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead, and Spencer Porath kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired for 31-0.
Boston College scored on a two-yard run early in the third quarter after a tipped Carr pass was intercepted, making it 31-7. Notre Dame answered with Faison's 13-yard touchdown catch, and Porath added a 37-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for the 41-7 final.
Notre Dame improved to 9-1; Boston College fell to 4-6. Notre Dame hosts SMU next Saturday, while Boston College returns home to host Syracuse.
