SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- After the energy inside Notre Dame Stadium last week in their win over No. 1 Miami, it would be hard to replicate the atmosphere this Saturday. Yet, Notre Dame took care of business and put away Boston College to the tune of a 34-point victory.
CJ Carr pumped his Heisman campaign by going 20-28 for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Carr did throw his second interception of the season on the opening play of the second half on a pass that was deflected at the line of scrimmage.
On the ground, the Notre Dame running back room continued to impress and was led by true freshman Jonaz Walton, who rushed the ball 15 times for 141 yards and a touchdown. Nolan James Jr. also provided a touchdown score to continue his every-game touchdown streak this season.
Defensively, the Irish proved stout in their containment of the Boston College offense. LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa was the Irish's leading tackler and was especially important in his ability to spy Boston College's dual-threat QB Mason McKenzie. Viliamu-Asa finished with seven total tackles.
Up front, the Irish defensive line continued to make their presence known. DE Boubacar Traore had a strip-sack fumble that was recovered by LB Jaylen Sneed for a touchdown. DE Bryce Young and DT Elijah Hughes also combined for a sack in this one.
On the back end of the Notre Dame defense, S Luke Talich continues to be a major impact player for this defense. He had a sack of his own, recorded six tackles, and provided constant pressure for the punt block team.
K Spencer Porath was also 2-for-2 (40 & 37 yard attempts) in his attempts today.
Overall, Notre Dame didn't show many hangover symptoms in their emphatic win over the Boston College Eagles. The schedule now shifts to SMU for a senior day showdown for the Fighting Irish.
