247Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Notre Dame faces Boston College, a 4-5 team with a middling offense and defense, but must guard against complacency, as head coach Marcus Freeman emphasizes the need to avoid performance letdowns despite recent successes.
- Boston College's quarterback, Mason McKenzie, is a tough, dual-threat player known for his running ability and third-down conversions, posing a challenge to Notre Dame's defense that thrives on forcing turnovers.
- Notre Dame's offense is performing at a high level, ranking among the nation's best in scoring, yards-per-play, and expected points added (EPA), reflecting a balanced and efficient attack.
- Injuries have opened opportunities for wide receivers Mylan Graham and Jerome Bettis Jr., both of whom showed promise last week and are expected to play significant roles to bolster Notre Dame's receiving corps heading into the playoff season.
