Boston College Wins Holy War

Boston College defeated Notre Dame this past Saturday at Alumni Stadium on the BC campus. The 17-0 beating was the sixth straight that the Irish have suffered at the hands of the Eagles. Notre Dames is now 5-4, while Boston College has improved to 6-3.

For Notre Dame, the shutout loss was especially bad because they are still one win short of the six needed to compete for a bowl game bid at the end of the season. Although it’s likely that they will indeed enter a bowl this year, it still makes fans a little anxious when the Irish wait this long to meet the requirements.

Jimmy Clausen had a bad day at the hands of the BC defense. He threw four interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He also failed to lead a scoring drive. However, the running game didn’t fare any better, as the Irish totaled only 66 rushing yards on the night. While this is a pretty disappointing finish, the Irish can take solace in knowing that they play Navy and Syracuse, two highly winnable games, in the next two weekends.
