With the Eagles in all-white uniforms, it’s almost as if they’re not there.

As the photo above shows, snow blanketed the field in South Bend by the middle of the third quarter of yesterday’s BC-Notre Dame football game. For the rest of the game, neither team scored a point. Too bad for the Eagles that the snow didn’t come much earlier.

Prior to the precipitation, BC had been figuratively snowed under by the Irish offense. After reverting to their usual inability to stop the opposing team on its first possession, allowing Notre Dame to move 67 yards in six plays and make a field goal, quarterback Emmett Morehead threw the first of his three interceptions for the day. Five plays later, the Irish went ahead 10-0.

By the end of the first quarter, #18 Notre Dame had increased its lead to 17-0. The Irish had nine first downs, compared to BC’s single first down, and had gained 213 yards in offense, limiting the Eagles to 48 yards.

Just more yards and points for Notre Dame in the second quarter. At halftime, it was already a beatdown. Notre Dame 37, BC 0. Total offense: 386 yards for the Irish, 81 for the Eagles. On the ground, BC rushed for one yard, Notre Dame for 214.

After another Morehead interception early in the third quarter, Notre Dame scored for the final time, to make it 44-0. Then the snow came. 

For the record, for the game, BC gained 173 yards on 58 offensive plays. Notre Dame ran 63 plays and gained 437 yards. The Irish were six for seven in red zone opportunities, scoring five touchdowns. BC was zero for one.

Trevor Hass wrote in The Boston Globe today: “[WR Zay] Flowers became the Eagles’ all-time leader with 192 career receptions, freshman Alex Broome showed his versatility, and Vinny DePalma had a career-high 12 tackles. Beyond that, it was all Irish.” In the game, Flowers had three receptions for 46 yards. Kudos to these Eagles.

Morehead was nine of 22 passing for 117 yards, three interceptions, and a fumble. He was sacked four times for -23 yards.

BC falls to 3-8, 2-5 in the ACC.
