This was their first road game in over a month, only their third of the year, coming off a bye week. I want to give these guys some grace, but they have to clean up a lot and I feel like we keep saying that week after week despite the win streak.

Penalties. Discipline. That's within their control.

It's November. They're banged up. Have starters missing. That goes for everyone else. I think the staff and players have the character to rise above the circumstances. We've seen it before. They have a lot going for them and there are a lot of teams that would trade places with them in a second. Miami being one of those, I'd venture to guess.

They got the dub, and it's harder than it looks to win games no matter who you play. Go get the next one. Get 1% better this week and another dub is in the cards.

Onward. Rally.

All this is true... The defense kept the Irish in this game. I'm not going to bring hell on any one individual except the kicker. Basically, 13 points were left on the field... the first missed extra-point led to going for two on second/third TDs and the fumble on the 2/3 yd line didn't help either. That would have changed the dynamic score (a little) of this game outside of the 1st qtr sluggish play. In the third qtr, defense made stupid mistakes and BC owned 80ish% of the qtr in gametime.

38-10 would have looked better but, it made it look like (on paper @ 25-10) that the Irish are just as bad as Stanford and Clemson. This should have been no less than 45-10 IMO.

Irish have to really put the foot on the both the gas offensively and brakes defensively the rest of the year. This game was their wake-up call.

Even the Mrs. said something about the BC slant. She got so pissed at the refs during the phantom facemask call she got up and went out to the garage. After the interception , she came back in to get a drink and I told her of the INT, to which she said she better stay in the garage for luck. Goes back out and Love takes it to the house. Comes back in a little later and I tell her Love broke a 94 yard TD. I told her I was contemplating locking the garage door until the end of the game.

One of my best friends came to ISU from Trenton on a track scholarship. Super athletic family. Tyler Stockton is his cousin. He would talk often about Trenton and living in that area and missing things like hoagies, “wooder ice,” and TastyKake (before they went national). Like a different world. Mostly he would talk about how rough Trenton was and some of his experiences. He always said how lucky he was to be fast bc he was able to make it out. One year a couple of his buddies came to visit when we were 21 and do a weekend of partying. Came to find out they were both affiliated. Nicest dudes. Hilarious. From that visit they both were shot and killed within a year. I’ll never forget him talking about the “Trenton Makes, the World Takes” motto and sign on the bridge and him commenting that the sad thing is that Trenton also takes from itself.

Boston College Football Film Review: Notre Dame (Offense)

The recipe for Notre Dame winning this game was simple: they dominated the line of scrimmage. Both of Boston College's quarterbacks were under siege to unprecedented levels. The Eagles could not consistently move the ball on the ground, as their offensive line couldn't get any movement against...

Boston College Football Film Review: Notre Dame (Defense)

Despite allowing the fewest points of the season against an FBS opponent and playing exceptionally competitive ball for most of the game, Boston College's defense failed for two reasons. Firstly, they could not get any pressure on CJ Carr. Secondly, they consistently allowed Notre Dame to hit on...

Pretty great breakdown from the BC site of key plays throughout the game.

I think there is a perception that Freeman “fixed” the defense by just playing Cover 0 or 1 all the time again. This guy does some great All-22 breakdown and we did a few sicko stuff. Look at the below:

Official came into ND locker room after the game to let ND know that they should NOT have called the facemask penalty on Burnham when he sacked the BC QB. Lot of good that does but nonetheless

Can they let the scoreboard operator know and give us 3 points back?

Probably in an attempt to not have them submit it to the conference for review.

The full game is up on youtube. I don't know if the live coverage was like this but the times that would have been cuts to ad breaks the coverage remains on the players on the sideline or the crowd which is interesting to watch.
That Burnham phantom facemask call should have been overturned. Same with the finger sniff.
