2. Irish pick off Phil Jurkovec twice

Phil Jurkovec has had a great start to his career for Boston College, throwing for over 2,000 yards, 15 touchdowns and only four interceptions through eight games.

Earlier on in the season, some different media outlets, and some angry Irish fans were wishing that Jurkovec was the starter for Notre Dame. I wonder if those same angry Irish fans are still thinking that after last weeks win over Clemson?

Back to Jurkovec, he will likely be playing with more of an edge Saturday afternoon and will be very eager to knock off his former school. This will lead Jurkovec to trying to fit the ball into tighter spaces than normal and throw two interceptions to the Notre Dame defensive unit.

Boston College cannot turn the ball over if they want a chance to upset the Irish.
