Notre Dame blows out Boston College: Instant takeaways

An absolutely perfect senior day for Notre Dame!

If you were to script a perfect senior day for a team, not in national championship contention, it would go exactly as things went at Notre Dame  Stadium on Saturday.  Sure, Boston College isn’t really close to being the most-hated rival of the Fighting Irish but they’re a pesky one that has caused quite a bit of heartbreak over the years.

This game was an embarrassment of riches for the Irish who now turn their heads to Thanksgiving weekend in Los Angeles where they’ll try to ruin USC’s College Football Playoff dreams.  We’ll get to that game next week and have extensive cross-polination\ with Trojans Wire, but we’ll celebrate today in a big way for now.

Here are a variety of instant takeaways and thoughts from Notre Dame’s domination of Boston College on Saturday afternoon.
