CHESTNUT HILL – The Holy War became a battle of survival for No. 12 Notre Dame.

The Fighting Irish (6-2) outscored Boston College 13-3 in the second half to secure a hard fought 25-10 victory on Saturday night in the 28 th meeting before a sellout crowd of 44,500 at Alumni Stadium.

BC fell to 1-8 and will resume ACC play at home on Nov. 8 against Southern Methodist. Notre Dame leads the series 19-9 with its 10 th straight win over BC and remains in the hunt for a spot in the FBS playoffs.

“It might not be a memorable team to anybody on the outside but it will be a memorable team to me because they fight hard and they compete,” said BC coach Bill O’Brien. “We just couldn’t do anything in the running game and could not move the ball consistently and turned the ball over.”
