Notre Dame-Boston College: Numbers tell story in blowout win

The numbers behind Notre Dame’s drubbing of Boston College. “It’s a beaut, Clark!”

Notre Dame isn’t likely to finish the year ranked in the top-10 because of losses to Marshall and Stanford but they’ll enter next week’s regular-season finale at USC looking every bit the part of a top-10 squad.  44-0 only partially does justice to how one-sided this affair was Saturday afternoon.

Boston College was at one time a place that prided itself on developing outstanding offensive lines and manhandling the line of scrimmage.  We won’t get too deep into that in this post, but Boston College looks like an average MAC team that should be playing on Tuesday nights.  As a lifetime Notre Dame fan I’ve got to say – I really hate to see it.

Sarcasm font:  the author of this post does not actually hate to see it at all

There were plenty of numbers that helped tell the story in Saturday’s dominating Notre Dame win.  Here are a little more than a handful of those.
