Irish Dominate on the Ground in Dominant Win Over Boston College
Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love broke free for a 94-yard touchdown run, the first play after an interception, that effectively sealed the win as the Fighting Irish cruised to a 25-10 victory over Boston College. The 12th-ranked team has now won its sixth straight game, and coach Marcus Freeman acknowledged that there's still much work to be done.
The Irish were favored by 28.5 points heading into the game, but things started off slow with both teams trading blows in a scoreless first quarter. However, Notre Dame took an early lead of 12-7 at halftime, thanks to CJ Carr completing 18 of 25 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns.
Boston College tried to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of three missed Irish field goals to trail just 18-10. But with 11:21 left, Adon Shuler intercepted Grayson James inside the Notre Dame 5-yard line, essentially squashing the Eagles' last chance at victory.
Love's subsequent 136-yard performance and two touchdowns was more than enough to secure the win for Notre Dame. The Irish have now beaten Boston College for the 10th time in a row since 2008, thanks to their relentless effort on both sides of the ball.
Notre Dame's kicking woes were also a story in this game, as the team struggled to make field goals with three different kickers missing attempts. Freeman attributed the issue to consistency and vowed to find a reliable kicker before the end of the season.
Despite winning convincingly, the Irish may have raised some eyebrows by avoiding any major concerns about their performance. With no ranked teams left on their schedule, Notre Dame will need only to avoid a significant stumble to make the expanded playoff field.
On the other hand, Boston College is in danger of finishing with its worst season since 1978 after failing to capitalize on an opportunity to upset Notre Dame. The Eagles face a tough stretch ahead, including games against SMU and Georgia Tech, but still have a chance to play spoiler against Syracuse.

. Boston College had like, so many chances to win, but they just couldn't capitalize 
. Notre Dame's defense was on point and those Irish players are just on fire 
! I mean, 94-yard touchdown run is crazy talk 
. But at the same time, you can tell that they still have some work to do - their kicking game was pretty sketchy 
. Coach Freeman better find them a reliable kicker ASAP or else it could hurt their chances in the playoffs 
.
they're killing it out there. 6 wins in a row is no joke. love's 94-yard touchdown run was insane 
not sure what coach freeman is getting at with kicking woes tho, seems like a pretty big deal to me... anyway, looks like notre dame's got this thing wrapped up 
. still, gotta give it to Love for that insane 94-yard touchdown run 
and don't even get me started on their kicking woes 
... it's like they're asking to lose games 
. 
grayson james needs to work on his accuracy or something 
.
.
gotta root for them to bounce back from this one and maybe get some momentum going into their next games 
and what's up with their kicking game tho? 3 different kickers missing attempts is wild...I don't get it 
the Irish dominance is insane, that 94-yard touchdown run by Jeremiyah Love was wild 
! They really showed their strength on both offense and defense, even with some kicking woes 
.
with that 94-yard touchdown run - talk about making an impact 
️ And CJ Carr's passing game was ON POINT 
consistency is key! Still, what a dominant win for the Fighting Irish 
man i'm lovin this dominant win for notre dame 
94-yard touchdown run by jeremiyah love is straight fire 
️ still, the irish are lookin good, six straight wins and 12th ranked team has nothing to complain about 
boston college's season is basically over at this point 
meanwhile, the Irish were only favored by 28.5 points 
3 different kickers missed field goals and it almost cost them the game 
or else they might have some major issues come playoff time
