Highlights: Notre Dame Football Rolls Past Boston College 41-7

Notre Dame beat Boston College 41-7 in what the broadcast called “classic college football weather.” CJ Carr opened the scoring after getting flushed out of the pocket and throwing on the run for a touchdown. A reverse later set up first-and-goal, and the Irish ran it in from there. On Boston College’s next possession, edge pressure forced a fumble that Notre Dame recovered.

One Carr touchdown came on review. On a fade to the end zone, the receiver appeared to get his left foot down while controlling the ball, but the play was ruled incomplete on the field. The broadcast’s rules analyst saw it differently: “It’s clear and obvious to me that he has secure possession.” He followed with a direct call: “This should be reversed to a touchdown.”

• Spencer Porath made a 40-yard field goal, then added another later that the broadcast said “was leaking and found its way through.”
• Carr kept pushing the ball downfield, including a sideline lob and a line drive that got the Irish to the 13 ahead of the fade.
• The Notre Dame defense hit Boston College’s starting quarterback repeatedly, including a sack and a late interception after he was drilled while flushed from the pocket.
• Femi Babalola came in at quarterback for Boston College and got the same treatment as the starter.
