No. 12 Notre Dame escapes Boston College with 25-10 victory

BOSTON -- , Jeremiyah Love broke free through the middle, and finally No. 12 Notre Dame could see some daylight. Love's 94-yard touchdown run on the first play after an interception squelched a potential game-tying drive helped the Fighting Irish win 25-10 on Saturday against a surprisingly stout, one-win Boston College team. “We know there's a lot of things to clean up,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said after earning his sixth straight victory. “The challenges will get tougher. ... As you move farther into November, everything is magnified.” Although Notre Dame (6-2) had been a 28 1/2-point favorite coming into the game against the only other Catholic school in FBS, the game was scoreless through one quarter and the Irish had a 12-7 lead at the half.
