The Irish improved to 9-1 as their defense held the Eagles to just 136 yards of offense.
Notre Dame didn't bother with a letdown after Miami, steamrolling unranked Boston College 41-7 on Saturday in South Bend. The win pushed the fifth-ranked Irish to 9-1 while the visiting Eagles fell to 4-6.
Quarterback CJ Carr threw two touchdowns and had the offense scoring on four of his first-half five possessions, though he opened the third quarter with just his second interception of the season. Jordan Faison balanced out an uncharacteristic drop with another leaping touchdown catch in the end zone, and the ground game got its usual push from Nolan James Jr.
The real story was the defense, which smothered Boston College's offense all afternoon, limiting the Eagles to a mere 136 total yards. On a chilly day in South Bend, Notre Dame never let the game feel close, turning what could have been a trap game into another lopsided statement of where this team stands heading into the stretch run.
