Notre Dame and Boston College are set to meet again this Saturday for what will the 27th all-time meeting between the two. Despite them being the only two catholic schools that play FBS football, the rivalry on the field between the Irish and Eagles is relatively young.
Any college football fan of a certain age can recall what happened in 1993 when Boston College ruined Notre Dame’s perfect season a week after the Irish beat No. 1 Florida State. Heck, Notre Dame fans recall when the Eagles ruined another undefeated season by upsetting the Irish in 2002, a week after Notre Dame had stunned, you guessed it, Florida State.
There is a lot more to this rivalry than just those two games, though. Here is a look back at some of the biggest moments when the two got together.
