The Fighting Irish should come into their matchup against Boston College this week nice and refreshed after their last bye week of the season. Notre Dame is currently riding a five-game win streak after two early losses, and they can't afford to lose it, especially this late in the season.
A loss to Boston College could be the final nail in the coffin of Notre Dame's College Football Playoff hopes, so they certainly need to treat this game as important as any other. Boston College struggles against the run, and Notre Dame has one of the best, if not the best, running back duos in the country with Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price.
This will be the first game Notre Dame plays away from home in a little while, so they need to just block out the noise, go in, and get the job done before they prepare for the rivalry game against Navy next week.
