Notre Dame Football: 3 keys to victory vs. Boston College in Week 13

1. The turnover battle could be key

All signs point to this one being a potential blowout, but the Irish could find themselves in need of a fallback plan if things get tight. Successfully limiting turnovers and forcing them on the other side of the ball would be a great place to start for a team looking to get back in a game.

The Irish looked great in that regard against a Navy team that had struggled at times to hold onto the football, and there’s certainly the potential for a similar performance if all goes according to plan against Boston College.

Both Notre Dame and Boston College have been exceptional when it comes to protecting the football, making it imperative that the Irish come out on top in this category in the case that the game remains close.

The pendulum of momentum swings on turnovers, so it’s in the Irish’s best interest to keep momentum in their favor throughout the game. This shouldn’t be much of a problem in their last home game of the season, so look for a solid outing out of the Irish as the regular season comes to a close.
