You know it was a good game for Notre Dame when I can spend a significant portion of my 5 things I didn’t like column railing on Doug Flutie and complaining about off the field, trivial things. That’s the case again this week as Notre Dame beat up on Boston College to the tune of a 40-7 blowout on Senior Day. The Irish weren’t exactly crisp at all times, but they still beat up on a program that aspires to be them without the chance of ever reaching those heights. Bless, Boston College’s hearts.
1. Notre Dame not being able to get their running backs going, again
The final stat sheet says that Notre Dame ran the ball for over 252 yards but those numbers were aided by over 100 yards combined from quarterbacks Ian Book and Phil Jurkovec and 61 yards on one jet sweep from speedster Braden Lenzy.
