Boston College self-destructed in Saturday’s Holy War clash against Notre Dame under blustery winter whiteout conditions in South Bend, Ind.
The Eagles committed five first-half turnovers and were unceremoniously rolled, 44-0, by the Fighting Irish on Senior Day at Notre Dame Stadium. BC fell to 3-8 and will close out the season at home against Syracuse. The No. 18 fighting Irish improved to 8-3 and finish up at USC. Notre Dame leads the series, 18-9, and has won the last nine meetings.
“When you turn the ball over five times you really don’t have a chance against a good team,” said BC coach Jeff Hafley. “You don’t have a chance against anybody so I’m disappointed there.
