After holding Fordham to 10, Boston College has failed to hold an opponent to under 28 points, a key reason for their current skid. It is tough to find a bright spot on a defensive unit that fails to create pressure, stop the run, or make plays in coverage. There are a couple of promising underclassmen, including freshman nickel TJ Green, but it looks like it might be another long Saturday with a top-20 Notre Dame offense in their way.

The Fighting Irish, coming off a bye week, will embark on a five-game stretch to close the regular season featuring three road contests. Notre Dame’s defense will look to continue its dominant run after holding an elite USC offense to a season-low 24 points. Chris Ash and Co. have another opportunity to display their elite talent against a struggling Boston College offense.

Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team ended their three-game skid with a 97-94 road victory at Boston College on Wednesday in a 2OT contest.
