The Notre Dame Fighting Irish improved their record to 9-2 on the season with one game left after beating the Boston College Eagles, 40-7 on Senior Day.
The defense was a huge part of why the Irish scored so many points. Notre Dame recorded 9 tackles for loss that included 4 sacks. Adetokunbo Ogundeji tallied 2 of those sacks while Alohi Gilman and Khalid Kareem each got one for themselves. Kareem also got another forced fumble after stripping BC quarterback Dennis Grosel. Drew White fell on that fumble which ultimately led to an Irish touchdown.
