But will the performance be enough to keep No. 3 Notre Dame in the top four of the College Football Playoff Rankings?
It is unknown whether either will play next Saturday at Stanford.
“We were moving the ball fairly effectively most of the night”, Kelly said. “To get to 10 wins for our club was a very important number for us”.
His 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference. Not so, as Prosise left the game with what was announced as a high ankle sprain in the first half and did not return, and Russell departed with an injury late in the game (announced as a stress fracture).

Notre Dame leads the all-time series against BC with a record of 13-9; the last time these two programs met was back on November 10, 2012. Instead of playing in a typical football stadium, the two teams agreed to play at historic Fenway Park.

His 3-yard TD pass made it 19-16 with 54 seconds left.
“I like where we’re headed now”, Addazio said. “And we played them nose to nose”. There’s no other way to put it: Fenway was so magnificently tricked out for football that you’d have thought these type of events have been going on for years. The Demon Deacons were 1 of 4 in the red zone. Unfortunately, freshmen were ineligible for varsity when Yaz was at ND so he never had a chance to play for the Irish.

But John Johnson intercepted Kizer’s pass in the end zone.
