Why Boston College Will Win

Where did that come from?

In the midst of a disastrous season, Boston College pulled out a shocker in a 21-20 win over NC State on the road. QB Phil Jurkovec was out – he’s questionable for this – but Emmett Morehead threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns and the defense came up with four takeaways to pull if off.

Now they have to do that all over again.

There’s no running game whatsoever, but the passing attack should bomb away and keep firing. There won’t be anything happening down the field, but the short, quick throws need to keep the Irish defensive back seven on its heels. However …

Why Notre Dame Will Win

Welcome to South Bend, Indiana in mid-November.

It’s going to be windy, it’s going to be really cold, and none of it aligns with a Boston College offense that doesn’t run at all and can’t get the O moving without coming up with at least 300 yards through the air.

Boston College is 3-1 when throwing for 300 and 0-6 when it doesn’t. Notre Dame only allowed 300 yards once, giving up 301 yards in the win over North Carolina.

As long as there aren’t a slew of turnovers, the Irish should be fine.

What’s Going To Happen

Notre Dame should be able to roll without a problem.

The offense won’t be smooth, but the ground game should be able to come up with 200 yards, the offense will methodically come up with enough points to get by, and in the cold and wind – the defense will take care of the rest.

Why Notre Dame Will Win

This is really that good a Notre Dame team.

It might not be flashy, and it might not have a whole slew of recognizable names, but as it showed against Clemson, the lines are terrific, the passing game works, the running game has pop, and the team took shot after shot and came out with the win.

It starts with something simple – owning third downs.

The offense leads the ACC in third down conversions, the defense leads the ACC in third down stops, and the methodical production keeps on coming – the team leads the ACC in time of possession.

There aren’t a lot of penalties, turnovers aren’t a problem, and the run defense will hold BC to fewer than 75 yards. However …

Why Boston College Will Win

The Boston College ground game is getting better, but that’s because it played Georgia Tech and Syracuse in the last three games. No, the offense doesn’t need to grind it out – and it won’t – but it’s going to start slinging and keep throwing.

Notre Dame transfer Phil Jurkovec has been terrific for the Eagles, hitting 200 yards or more in every game but the win over Georgia Tech, and that’s because the team ran the ball.

Clemson didn’t run a lick on the Irish – Travis Etienne and company were held to 34 net yards – and it came within a defensive stop of pulling off the win because DJ Uiagalelei threw for 439 yards in his second start.

Jurkovec isn’t as talented as Uiagalelei, but he’s got the poise, the coaching, and the offense to keep on pushing the relatively untested Irish secondary.

And then there’s history. For people of certain ages …

What’s Going To Happen

In 2002, Notre Dame was 8-0 and coming off a huge road win at Florida State. The next week … Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7.

In 1993, Notre Dame was 10-0 and on the way to the national championship after stopping Florida State and Charlie Ward in a legendary game in South Bend. The next week … Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39.

This Boston College program has broken hearts before, and …

A whole lot of players on the 2020 Fighting Irish weren’t alive in 2002, and all of them were years away from being on this planet when Pete Mitchell caught a gajillion passes on the way to the upset in ’93.

This is a good enough Eagle team to keep it close and throw a scare into the Irish – who now have a College Football Playoff spot there for the taking if they can keep on winning – but Notre Dame’s lines will take over as the game goes on.
