Notre Dame’s 2015 Fenway Park game vs. Boston College

It wasn’t the prettiest of games but the event was incredible!

With news out that Notre Dame baseball is headed to play at Fenway Park in Boston in the spring of 2023, we thought it’d be a good time to take a quick trip down memory lane and look back at the football team’s trip to Fenway in 2015.

It wasn’t the prettiest of games for the Irish, who were very much alive in the College Football Playoff chase at the time.  Boston College was in the midst of a brutal season, but five Notre Dame turnovers kept things far closer than most expected going in.

Despite getting off to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the Irish had to struggle their way to hold onto a 19-16 victory in improving to 10-1 while Boston College fell to 3-8.

[autotag]Deshone Kizer[/autotag] threw for 328 yards and two touchdowns put also was intercepted three times that night.  The Irish averaged just 3.7 yards per carry on the night, as [autotag]C.J. Prosise[/autotag] led the way with 57 of the team’s 123 rushing yards.

Despite the ugly performance, Notre Dame escaped with a win and it was certainly a memorable night for all who experienced it.  Here is a look back at the best photos from that night at Fenway Park.

 

Texans waive RB C.J. Prosise, sign WR Damion Ratley to active roster

The Houston Texans made adjustments to the active roster, waiving RB C.J. Prosise and signing WR Damion Ratley to the active roster.

The Houston Texans continue to find ways to adjust their roster, even as they enter a meaningless Week 17.

The club waived running back C.J. Prosise on Monday and signed receiver Damion Ratley from the practice squad to the active roster.

Prosise played in 10 games for the Texans, carrying 10 times for 19 yards and catching five passes for 18 yards and a touchdown. The former Seattle Seahawks 2016 third-round pick also had eight kickoff returns for 149 yards.

Ratley, a former Yoakum High School and Texas A&M product, was taken by the Cleveland Browns in Round 6 of the 2018 NFL Draft. Ratley spent two seasons with Cleveland before being waived at the end of training camp. The 6-2, 200-pound wideout played for the New York Giants until being waived on Oct. 13.

The Texans have declared RB Duke Johnson (neck), RB C.J. Prosise (ankle), CB Phillip Gaines (knee), WR Isaiah Coulter, and QB Josh McCown inactive for the game.

Texans downgraded 4 players to OUT vs. Colts

The Texans ruled out four players on Saturday.

The Houston Texans (4-9) downgraded four of their players from questionable to out ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts (9-4).

Among the four players ruled out include running backs Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) and cornerbacks John Reid (neck) and Phillip Gaines (knee).

The Texans will still have David Johnson to take the lead role in the backfield while their secondary takes and even bigger hit. It was already a plus matchup for the Colts wide receivers and now it just gets better for T.Y. Hilton and Co.

The Colts have three players listed as questionable on their final injury report with defensive tackle DeForest Buckner in question after suffering an ankle injury during Thursday’s practice and didn’t practice on Friday.

The Colts and Texans will release their inactives an hour and a half before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday.

The Houston Texans released their last injury report as the club gears up to play the Indianapolis Colts Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CT at NRG Stadium.

Fullback Cullen Gillaspia (back) and running back C.J. Prosise (illness) did not practice all week. They have been declared out for the game.

Defensive tackle Ross Blacklock (illness) did not practice all week until Friday, and he was limited at that. The club has placed a questionable designation for the second-round rookie from TCU.

Punter Bryan Anger (right quad) and safety Lonnie Johnson (knee) had full participation for the first time all week. Neither received a designation for Sunday, which means they should be a full go.

The Colts declared safety Khari Willis (back/quad), punter Rigoberto Sanchez (illness), linebacker Bobby Okereke (ankle), and offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) out for the game.

Defensive lineman Denico Autry (illness), defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (illness), and quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) were full participants in Friday’s practice and none of them received a designation for Sunday’s game.

WATCH: Texans QB Deshaun Watson throws touchdown pass to RB C.J. Prosise against the Lions

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to running back C.J. Prosise to grab the lead against the Detroit Lions.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has done a fabulous job of getting all aspects of the offense involved.

There was no better example of that than on Thanksgiving when Watson threw to running back C.J. Prosise for a 2-yard touchdown. The scoring throw was Watson’s 21st of the season, and it gave Houston a 13-7 lead over the Lions late in the first quarter.

For Prosise, the touchdown catch was the first of his career and the third rushing and receiving touchdown of his career.

Texans elevate RB C.J. Prosise to active roster against the Browns

The Houston Texans have elevated running back C.J. Prosise to the active roster for the Week 10 bout with the Cleveland Browns.

The Houston Texans have added some depth to their running back corps as they get ready to play the Cleveland Browns in Week 10.

The Texans are elevating running back C.J. Prosise to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium at 12:00 p.m. CT, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Houston needs some depth at the position on game day as starter David Johnson will be out with a concussion. While the Texans will move Duke Johnson up to the starting role and Buddy Howell, who excels at special teams, will take the support role, Houston believes they need to have three backs and have thus elevated Prosise.

Prosise has been active for the past six games for Houston. In Week 3’s 28-21 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Prosise carried once for a yard.

Texans activate DT Eli Ankou, release RB C.J. Prosise

The Houston Texans have activated DT Eli Ankou from the exempt/commissioner permission list and released RB C.J. Prosise.

Talent evaluation is a never-ending task for the Houston Texans.

The 1-6 club announced Monday they have activated defensive tackle Eli Ankou from the exempt/commissioner permission list.

To make room for Ankou on the active roster, the Texans released running back C.J. Prosise.

Prosise was active in six of his games with the Texans this season. In Week 3’s 28-21 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Prosise carried once for a yard as part of his two snaps on offense that game. For the season, Prosise has played five offensive snaps and 70 special teams snaps.

Ankou is a 6-3, 325-pound interior defensive lineman who provides the Texans with another body they can plug inside to find answers to stopping the run. Ankou went to camp with the Texans in 2017 as an undrafted free agent, but was released as the end of preseason.

Texans promote running back C.J. Prosise to active roster against the Steelers

The Houston Texans have promoted running back C.J. Prosise to the active roster for the second straight week.

The Houston Texans have made their move to promote a practice squad player to the active roster against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3.

The club announced Saturday the promotion of running back C.J. Prosise to the active roster.

The former Seattle Seahawks running back was promoted last week against the Baltimore Ravens. As a result, the club declared running back Duke Johnson inactive.

Johnson has been battling the same ankle injury that scratched him from the Ravens game in Week 2, and he is similarly questionable against the Steelers. However, Johnson did make the flight to Pittsburgh. One of the first steps to playing in the game to make the flight. However, an activation of Prosise is also telling Johnson may not be ready to go.

Houston left inside linebacker Peter Kalambayi behind as the third-year veteran is working through a hamstring injury, which also cost him an activation in Week 2 against Baltimore.
