1983 Liberty Bowl – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 18 Meeting at the 1983 Liberty Bowl in Memphis Notre Dame and the Eagles engaged in a tight and taut contest — a harbinger. Despite Doug Flutie throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns, BC found itself on the short end of a 19–18 loss. The Eagles were down 19–12 at halftime and, after a Flutie TD pass to Scott Gieselman in the third quarter and a missed extra point, BC had an opportunity to win late in the game. On fourth down with 1:08 remaining, a Flutie pass fell incomplete for a Fighting Irish win. 1992 – Notre Dame 54, Boston College 7 In the first game of the revived series, a highly ranked BC team entered the game with high expectations and the goal of reaching a major bowl game. The Fighting Irish ended this hope with a crushing 54–7 victory, still the largest in the series. The game was punctuated—and the rivalry fueled on BC's side – by a successful fake punt called by Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz, early in the third quarter with his team already ahead 37–0. Also, the crowd scenes from the final game of the 1993 film Rudy were shot during halftime of this game. 1993 – Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39 Boston College held a 38–17 lead with 11:13 left in the game, but Notre Dame fought back. The Stadium rocked as they completed a 22 point comeback. But in the end, David Gordon hit a 41 yard field goal as time expired to drop the Irish to #4 in the rankings and eventually foil their hopes of finishing #1. It was BC's first ever win over the Fighting Irish. For their effort, the Eagles made the November 29, 1993, Sports Illustrated cover. 1998 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 26 No. 13 ranked Notre Dame defeated Boston College in a hard fought battle. Down 31–20 with 9:23 left in the game, Eagles senior quarterback Scott Mutryn threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to Anthony DiCosmo. After a failed two point conversion, the BC defense prevented a Notre Dame score. The Eagle offense then marched all the way to the Fighting Irish 4 yard line with only seconds remaining on the clock. Running back Mike Cloud was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on the first three downs, and on fourth down Notre Dame safety Deke Cooper tackled Cloud in the backfield to seal a 31–26 victory for the Fighting Irish. 1999 – Boston College 31, Notre Dame 29 The Fighting Irish came into the game in a must win situation in order to avoid its first bowl ineligible season since 1986, while the Eagles entered on a three game winning streak and had its best mark after 9 games since the 1993 campaign. The Eagles came out firing and withstood an early pair of touchdowns by Tony Fisher and Julius Jones, countering with touchdown passes by Tim Hasselbeck as the game was tied at 17 at the break. Hasselbeck would put the Eagles ahead for good with a 1 yard sneak in the third quarter and another touchdown toss early in the fourth. But the Fighting Irish showed no quit with their season on the line, as Jarious Jackson hit Fisher for a nine yard score. However, a missed extra point by Jim Sanson proved to be crucial. After Jones' 67 yard punt return for a score, the Fighting Irish were forced to go for the two point conversation—and failed. The Fighting Irish would get the ball back once more with 2:18 left on the clock, but on the second play of the drive, Jackson's pass was intercepted by Pedro Cirino. 2002 – Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7 BC went to Notre Dame Stadium to face No. 4 ranked Notre Dame, who were clad in their green jerseys for the first time in three years and for the first time at home in 17 seasons, and the team from Chestnut Hill brought back some ghosts of 1993 to Notre Dame. Notre Dame fumbled the ball seven times, losing three, and back up quarterback Pat Dillingham threw two interceptions. BC walked out with a 14–7 win, its first over a top 5 team since beating the No. 1 Fighting Irish in 1993 on the very same field. 2003 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 25 Notre Dame and BC staged another dramatic battle in 2003. As usual, the game came down to the final seconds. With the Eagles holding a 24–6 lead, the Fighting Irish fought back. Notre Dame's Nate Schiccatano blocked a BC punt late in the game and Carlos Campbell ran it 25 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left and a 25–24 Fighting Irish lead. On the ensuing Boston College possession, the Eagles marched down to the Fighting Irish 8 yard line where kicker Sandro Sciortino booted in a chip shot with 38 seconds left and a 27–25 BC win. 2004 – Boston College 24, Notre Dame 23 Trailing 20–7 at halftime, Boston College mounted a comeback led by quarterback Paul Peterson, who threw for 383 yards on the day. With 54 seconds left, Peterson hit Tony Gonzalez for a touchdown and a 24–23 win. A missed extra point by ND kicker D. J. Fitzpatrick in the first half would account for the difference in the game. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight loss to BC and its fifth in the previous six meetings. 2007 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 14 Entering the game ranked as the #4 team in the country, the 6–0 Eagles, led by standout Matt Ryan, played virtually flawless football for four quarters. After mounting a 20–0 lead, BC relinquished a pair of touchdowns to make it 20–14. An ineffective Jimmy Clausen had been replaced by Evan Sharpley, which appeared to ignite the Notre Dame offense. BC countered with a touchdown from Ryan to WR Kevin Challenger to solidify the victory. BC would go on to finish 11–3 on the season, while Notre Dame finished 3–9. 2008 – Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0 In 2008 the Fighting Irish made their first trip to Boston in 5 years where The Eagles recorded their first shutout in the series' history. The Eagles 17–0 win was BC's 6th straight against Notre Dame and tied the series record at 9 wins apiece. Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw 4 interceptions, including two to safety Paul Anderson (one of which was returned 76 yards for the Eagles' first touchdown of the day). Chris Crane added a TD pass to wideout Ifeanyi Momah to secure a victory. Notre Dame struggled on offense, failing to advance the ball past BC's 22 yard line at any point. 2009 – Notre Dame 20, Boston College 16 Notre Dame notched its first victory against BC since 2000, in a close game that had 5 lead changes. Jimmy Clausen threw for two touchdowns to Golden Tate, the second putting the Fighting Irish ahead for good. Notre Dame intercepted Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, with the final interception coming from linebacker Brian Smith with 98 seconds left in the game. 2010 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 Notre Dame got off to a fast start as quarterback Dayne Crist accounted for 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, including passes to Kyle Rudolph and Theo Riddick, before BC could put any points on the board. Notre Dame never looked back after the early lead, earning its second consecutive win in the series. The game was played under the lights in Chestnut Hill, where Boston College's student section emptied by the middle of the third quarter. 2011 – Notre Dame 16, Boston College 14 The #24 ranked Fighting Irish ground out an ugly victory against Boston College in which running back Jonas Gray scored for the eighth consecutive game. The victory in South Bend was part of an 8–5 record in Coach Brian Kelly's second season, while Boston College regressed to 4–8 in the third year under Coach Frank Spaziani. Notre Dame took a 12–9 series lead after the win. 2012 – Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6 The 2012 Holy War saw a further divergence between the fortunes of the Notre Dame and Boston College football programs. #4 Notre Dame rolled over a miserable Boston College team in Chestnut Hill en route to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game. Quarterback Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, while the stout Irish defense held Boston College to two field goals on the day. Boston College finished the season 2 10, and Spaziani was fired. Notre Dame, on the other hand, finished 12 1 and ranked #4 and #3 in the AP and Coaches Polls, respectively. 2015 – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16 After two seasons off, the rivalry resumed with the first football game played in historic Fenway Park in 47 years. The Fighting Irish entered the game ranked #4, but Boston College's #1 ranked defense kept the game close by securing 5 turnovers. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw two touchdowns, and three interceptions, in the Irish victory. Notre Dame finished the season 10 3 and ranked #11, while Boston College went 3–9 with only one victory over an FBS opponent. 2017 – Notre Dame 49, Boston College 20 This game in Chestnut Hill began as many in this rivalry do as a close, low scoring battle. Five minutes into the third quarter, Notre Dame led 14–13. From that point on, however, Notre Dame's rushing attack led by quarterback Brandon Wimbush and running back Josh Adams blasted Boston College for another 35 points. Wimbush and Adams each rushed for over 200 yards, as the team put up 515 rushing yards for its largest total since 1969. Notre Dame won its sixth consecutive game in the series, taking a 15–9 lead over the Eagles.

1993 – «Бостон колледжі» 41, «Нотр-Дам» 39. «Бостон колледжі» ойын аяқталуға 11:13 қалғанда 38:17 есебімен көшбасшылықты қамтамасыз етті, бірақ «Нотр-Дам» қарсылық көрсетті. Стадион 22 ұпайлық қайта оянуды көрді. Бірақ соңында Дэвид Гордон уақыт біткенде 41 ярдтық алаңға гол соқты, «ирландтықтарды» рейтингте 4-орынға түсірді және ақырында 1-орынды алу үмітін жоққа шығарды. Бұл «БК» командасының «Fighting Irish» командасынан алғашқы жеңісі болды. Осы жетістігі үшін «Eagles» 1993 жылдың 29 қарашасындағы «Sports Illustrated» журналының мұқабасына шықты.
1983 Liberty Bowl – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 18 Meeting at the 1983 Liberty Bowl in Memphis Notre Dame and the Eagles engaged in a tight and taut contest — a harbinger. Despite Doug Flutie throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns, BC found itself on the short end of a 19–18 loss. The Eagles were down 19–12 at halftime and, after a Flutie TD pass to Scott Gieselman in the third quarter and a missed extra point, BC had an opportunity to win late in the game. On fourth down with 1:08 remaining, a Flutie pass fell incomplete for a Fighting Irish win. 1992 – Notre Dame 54, Boston College 7 In the first game of the revived series, a highly ranked BC team entered the game with high expectations and the goal of reaching a major bowl game. The Fighting Irish ended this hope with a crushing 54–7 victory, still the largest in the series. The game was punctuated—and the rivalry fueled on BC's side – by a successful fake punt called by Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz, early in the third quarter with his team already ahead 37–0. Also, the crowd scenes from the final game of the 1993 film Rudy were shot during halftime of this game. 1993 – Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39 Boston College held a 38–17 lead with 11:13 left in the game, but Notre Dame fought back. The Stadium rocked as they completed a 22 point comeback. But in the end, David Gordon hit a 41 yard field goal as time expired to drop the Irish to #4 in the rankings and eventually foil their hopes of finishing #1. It was BC's first ever win over the Fighting Irish. For their effort, the Eagles made the November 29, 1993, Sports Illustrated cover. 1998 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 26 No. 13 ranked Notre Dame defeated Boston College in a hard fought battle. Down 31–20 with 9:23 left in the game, Eagles senior quarterback Scott Mutryn threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to Anthony DiCosmo. After a failed two point conversion, the BC defense prevented a Notre Dame score. The Eagle offense then marched all the way to the Fighting Irish 4 yard line with only seconds remaining on the clock. Running back Mike Cloud was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on the first three downs, and on fourth down Notre Dame safety Deke Cooper tackled Cloud in the backfield to seal a 31–26 victory for the Fighting Irish. 1999 – Boston College 31, Notre Dame 29 The Fighting Irish came into the game in a must win situation in order to avoid its first bowl ineligible season since 1986, while the Eagles entered on a three game winning streak and had its best mark after 9 games since the 1993 campaign. The Eagles came out firing and withstood an early pair of touchdowns by Tony Fisher and Julius Jones, countering with touchdown passes by Tim Hasselbeck as the game was tied at 17 at the break. Hasselbeck would put the Eagles ahead for good with a 1 yard sneak in the third quarter and another touchdown toss early in the fourth. But the Fighting Irish showed no quit with their season on the line, as Jarious Jackson hit Fisher for a nine yard score. However, a missed extra point by Jim Sanson proved to be crucial. After Jones' 67 yard punt return for a score, the Fighting Irish were forced to go for the two point conversation—and failed. The Fighting Irish would get the ball back once more with 2:18 left on the clock, but on the second play of the drive, Jackson's pass was intercepted by Pedro Cirino. 2002 – Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7 BC went to Notre Dame Stadium to face No. 4 ranked Notre Dame, who were clad in their green jerseys for the first time in three years and for the first time at home in 17 seasons, and the team from Chestnut Hill brought back some ghosts of 1993 to Notre Dame. Notre Dame fumbled the ball seven times, losing three, and back up quarterback Pat Dillingham threw two interceptions. BC walked out with a 14–7 win, its first over a top 5 team since beating the No. 1 Fighting Irish in 1993 on the very same field. 2003 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 25 Notre Dame and BC staged another dramatic battle in 2003. As usual, the game came down to the final seconds. With the Eagles holding a 24–6 lead, the Fighting Irish fought back. Notre Dame's Nate Schiccatano blocked a BC punt late in the game and Carlos Campbell ran it 25 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left and a 25–24 Fighting Irish lead. On the ensuing Boston College possession, the Eagles marched down to the Fighting Irish 8 yard line where kicker Sandro Sciortino booted in a chip shot with 38 seconds left and a 27–25 BC win. 2004 – Boston College 24, Notre Dame 23 Trailing 20–7 at halftime, Boston College mounted a comeback led by quarterback Paul Peterson, who threw for 383 yards on the day. With 54 seconds left, Peterson hit Tony Gonzalez for a touchdown and a 24–23 win. A missed extra point by ND kicker D. J. Fitzpatrick in the first half would account for the difference in the game. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight loss to BC and its fifth in the previous six meetings. 2007 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 14 Entering the game ranked as the #4 team in the country, the 6–0 Eagles, led by standout Matt Ryan, played virtually flawless football for four quarters. After mounting a 20–0 lead, BC relinquished a pair of touchdowns to make it 20–14. An ineffective Jimmy Clausen had been replaced by Evan Sharpley, which appeared to ignite the Notre Dame offense. BC countered with a touchdown from Ryan to WR Kevin Challenger to solidify the victory. BC would go on to finish 11–3 on the season, while Notre Dame finished 3–9. 2008 – Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0 In 2008 the Fighting Irish made their first trip to Boston in 5 years where The Eagles recorded their first shutout in the series' history. The Eagles 17–0 win was BC's 6th straight against Notre Dame and tied the series record at 9 wins apiece. Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw 4 interceptions, including two to safety Paul Anderson (one of which was returned 76 yards for the Eagles' first touchdown of the day). Chris Crane added a TD pass to wideout Ifeanyi Momah to secure a victory. Notre Dame struggled on offense, failing to advance the ball past BC's 22 yard line at any point. 2009 – Notre Dame 20, Boston College 16 Notre Dame notched its first victory against BC since 2000, in a close game that had 5 lead changes. Jimmy Clausen threw for two touchdowns to Golden Tate, the second putting the Fighting Irish ahead for good. Notre Dame intercepted Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, with the final interception coming from linebacker Brian Smith with 98 seconds left in the game. 2010 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 Notre Dame got off to a fast start as quarterback Dayne Crist accounted for 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, including passes to Kyle Rudolph and Theo Riddick, before BC could put any points on the board. Notre Dame never looked back after the early lead, earning its second consecutive win in the series. The game was played under the lights in Chestnut Hill, where Boston College's student section emptied by the middle of the third quarter. 2011 – Notre Dame 16, Boston College 14 The #24 ranked Fighting Irish ground out an ugly victory against Boston College in which running back Jonas Gray scored for the eighth consecutive game. The victory in South Bend was part of an 8–5 record in Coach Brian Kelly's second season, while Boston College regressed to 4–8 in the third year under Coach Frank Spaziani. Notre Dame took a 12–9 series lead after the win. 2012 – Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6 The 2012 Holy War saw a further divergence between the fortunes of the Notre Dame and Boston College football programs. #4 Notre Dame rolled over a miserable Boston College team in Chestnut Hill en route to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game. Quarterback Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, while the stout Irish defense held Boston College to two field goals on the day. Boston College finished the season 2 10, and Spaziani was fired. Notre Dame, on the other hand, finished 12 1 and ranked #4 and #3 in the AP and Coaches Polls, respectively. 2015 – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16 After two seasons off, the rivalry resumed with the first football game played in historic Fenway Park in 47 years. The Fighting Irish entered the game ranked #4, but Boston College's #1 ranked defense kept the game close by securing 5 turnovers. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw two touchdowns, and three interceptions, in the Irish victory. Notre Dame finished the season 10 3 and ranked #11, while Boston College went 3–9 with only one victory over an FBS opponent. 2017 – Notre Dame 49, Boston College 20 This game in Chestnut Hill began as many in this rivalry do as a close, low scoring battle. Five minutes into the third quarter, Notre Dame led 14–13. From that point on, however, Notre Dame's rushing attack led by quarterback Brandon Wimbush and running back Josh Adams blasted Boston College for another 35 points. Wimbush and Adams each rushed for over 200 yards, as the team put up 515 rushing yards for its largest total since 1969. Notre Dame won its sixth consecutive game in the series, taking a 15–9 lead over the Eagles.

1999 – «Бостон колледжі» 31, «Нотр-Дам» 29. «Fighting Irish» 1986 жылдан бері алғашқы боульге жарамсыз маусымнан аулақ болу үшін міндетті түрде жеңіске жетуі керек болды, ал «Eagles» үш ойын жеңіс тізбегіне кіріп, 1993 жылғы науқаннан бері 9 ойыннан кейін ең жақсы көрсеткішті көрсетті. «Eagles» ойынға шықты және Тони Фишер мен Джулиус Джонстың алғашқы қос тачдаундарына төтеп берді, ал ойын үзілісінде 17:17 есебімен тең болған кезде Тим Хассельбек тачдаунға пас берді. Хассельбек үшінші тоқсанда 1 ярдты шауып, төртінші тоқсанның басында тағы бір тачдаунға ұмтылып, «Eagles» командасын алға шығарды. Бірақ «Fighting Irish» маусымын аяқ астынан өткізбейді, өйткені Джариос Джексон Фишерге 9 ярдтық ұпай берді. Алайда Джим Сансонның жібермеген қосымша ұпайсы маңызды болды. Джонстың 67 ярдқа ұшыраған ұпайға оралғаннан кейін «Fighting Irish» екі ұпайға сөйлесуге мәжбүр болды және сәтсіз аяқталды. «Fighting Irish» сағаттың аяғына 2:18 қалғанда тағы да допты қайтарып алады, бірақ екінші ойын кезінде Джексонның пасын Педро Сирино ұстап алады.

1983 Liberty Bowl – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 18 Meeting at the 1983 Liberty Bowl in Memphis Notre Dame and the Eagles engaged in a tight and taut contest — a harbinger. Despite Doug Flutie throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns, BC found itself on the short end of a 19–18 loss. The Eagles were down 19–12 at halftime and, after a Flutie TD pass to Scott Gieselman in the third quarter and a missed extra point, BC had an opportunity to win late in the game. On fourth down with 1:08 remaining, a Flutie pass fell incomplete for a Fighting Irish win. 1992 – Notre Dame 54, Boston College 7 In the first game of the revived series, a highly ranked BC team entered the game with high expectations and the goal of reaching a major bowl game. The Fighting Irish ended this hope with a crushing 54–7 victory, still the largest in the series. The game was punctuated—and the rivalry fueled on BC's side – by a successful fake punt called by Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz, early in the third quarter with his team already ahead 37–0. Also, the crowd scenes from the final game of the 1993 film Rudy were shot during halftime of this game. 1993 – Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39 Boston College held a 38–17 lead with 11:13 left in the game, but Notre Dame fought back. The Stadium rocked as they completed a 22 point comeback. But in the end, David Gordon hit a 41 yard field goal as time expired to drop the Irish to #4 in the rankings and eventually foil their hopes of finishing #1. It was BC's first ever win over the Fighting Irish. For their effort, the Eagles made the November 29, 1993, Sports Illustrated cover. 1998 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 26 No. 13 ranked Notre Dame defeated Boston College in a hard fought battle. Down 31–20 with 9:23 left in the game, Eagles senior quarterback Scott Mutryn threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to Anthony DiCosmo. After a failed two point conversion, the BC defense prevented a Notre Dame score. The Eagle offense then marched all the way to the Fighting Irish 4 yard line with only seconds remaining on the clock. Running back Mike Cloud was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on the first three downs, and on fourth down Notre Dame safety Deke Cooper tackled Cloud in the backfield to seal a 31–26 victory for the Fighting Irish. 1999 – Boston College 31, Notre Dame 29 The Fighting Irish came into the game in a must win situation in order to avoid its first bowl ineligible season since 1986, while the Eagles entered on a three game winning streak and had its best mark after 9 games since the 1993 campaign. The Eagles came out firing and withstood an early pair of touchdowns by Tony Fisher and Julius Jones, countering with touchdown passes by Tim Hasselbeck as the game was tied at 17 at the break. Hasselbeck would put the Eagles ahead for good with a 1 yard sneak in the third quarter and another touchdown toss early in the fourth. But the Fighting Irish showed no quit with their season on the line, as Jarious Jackson hit Fisher for a nine yard score. However, a missed extra point by Jim Sanson proved to be crucial. After Jones' 67 yard punt return for a score, the Fighting Irish were forced to go for the two point conversation—and failed. The Fighting Irish would get the ball back once more with 2:18 left on the clock, but on the second play of the drive, Jackson's pass was intercepted by Pedro Cirino. 2002 – Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7 BC went to Notre Dame Stadium to face No. 4 ranked Notre Dame, who were clad in their green jerseys for the first time in three years and for the first time at home in 17 seasons, and the team from Chestnut Hill brought back some ghosts of 1993 to Notre Dame. Notre Dame fumbled the ball seven times, losing three, and back up quarterback Pat Dillingham threw two interceptions. BC walked out with a 14–7 win, its first over a top 5 team since beating the No. 1 Fighting Irish in 1993 on the very same field. 2003 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 25 Notre Dame and BC staged another dramatic battle in 2003. As usual, the game came down to the final seconds. With the Eagles holding a 24–6 lead, the Fighting Irish fought back. Notre Dame's Nate Schiccatano blocked a BC punt late in the game and Carlos Campbell ran it 25 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left and a 25–24 Fighting Irish lead. On the ensuing Boston College possession, the Eagles marched down to the Fighting Irish 8 yard line where kicker Sandro Sciortino booted in a chip shot with 38 seconds left and a 27–25 BC win. 2004 – Boston College 24, Notre Dame 23 Trailing 20–7 at halftime, Boston College mounted a comeback led by quarterback Paul Peterson, who threw for 383 yards on the day. With 54 seconds left, Peterson hit Tony Gonzalez for a touchdown and a 24–23 win. A missed extra point by ND kicker D. J. Fitzpatrick in the first half would account for the difference in the game. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight loss to BC and its fifth in the previous six meetings. 2007 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 14 Entering the game ranked as the #4 team in the country, the 6–0 Eagles, led by standout Matt Ryan, played virtually flawless football for four quarters. After mounting a 20–0 lead, BC relinquished a pair of touchdowns to make it 20–14. An ineffective Jimmy Clausen had been replaced by Evan Sharpley, which appeared to ignite the Notre Dame offense. BC countered with a touchdown from Ryan to WR Kevin Challenger to solidify the victory. BC would go on to finish 11–3 on the season, while Notre Dame finished 3–9. 2008 – Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0 In 2008 the Fighting Irish made their first trip to Boston in 5 years where The Eagles recorded their first shutout in the series' history. The Eagles 17–0 win was BC's 6th straight against Notre Dame and tied the series record at 9 wins apiece. Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw 4 interceptions, including two to safety Paul Anderson (one of which was returned 76 yards for the Eagles' first touchdown of the day). Chris Crane added a TD pass to wideout Ifeanyi Momah to secure a victory. Notre Dame struggled on offense, failing to advance the ball past BC's 22 yard line at any point. 2009 – Notre Dame 20, Boston College 16 Notre Dame notched its first victory against BC since 2000, in a close game that had 5 lead changes. Jimmy Clausen threw for two touchdowns to Golden Tate, the second putting the Fighting Irish ahead for good. Notre Dame intercepted Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, with the final interception coming from linebacker Brian Smith with 98 seconds left in the game. 2010 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 Notre Dame got off to a fast start as quarterback Dayne Crist accounted for 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, including passes to Kyle Rudolph and Theo Riddick, before BC could put any points on the board. Notre Dame never looked back after the early lead, earning its second consecutive win in the series. The game was played under the lights in Chestnut Hill, where Boston College's student section emptied by the middle of the third quarter. 2011 – Notre Dame 16, Boston College 14 The #24 ranked Fighting Irish ground out an ugly victory against Boston College in which running back Jonas Gray scored for the eighth consecutive game. The victory in South Bend was part of an 8–5 record in Coach Brian Kelly's second season, while Boston College regressed to 4–8 in the third year under Coach Frank Spaziani. Notre Dame took a 12–9 series lead after the win. 2012 – Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6 The 2012 Holy War saw a further divergence between the fortunes of the Notre Dame and Boston College football programs. #4 Notre Dame rolled over a miserable Boston College team in Chestnut Hill en route to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game. Quarterback Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, while the stout Irish defense held Boston College to two field goals on the day. Boston College finished the season 2 10, and Spaziani was fired. Notre Dame, on the other hand, finished 12 1 and ranked #4 and #3 in the AP and Coaches Polls, respectively. 2015 – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16 After two seasons off, the rivalry resumed with the first football game played in historic Fenway Park in 47 years. The Fighting Irish entered the game ranked #4, but Boston College's #1 ranked defense kept the game close by securing 5 turnovers. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw two touchdowns, and three interceptions, in the Irish victory. Notre Dame finished the season 10 3 and ranked #11, while Boston College went 3–9 with only one victory over an FBS opponent. 2017 – Notre Dame 49, Boston College 20 This game in Chestnut Hill began as many in this rivalry do as a close, low scoring battle. Five minutes into the third quarter, Notre Dame led 14–13. From that point on, however, Notre Dame's rushing attack led by quarterback Brandon Wimbush and running back Josh Adams blasted Boston College for another 35 points. Wimbush and Adams each rushed for over 200 yards, as the team put up 515 rushing yards for its largest total since 1969. Notre Dame won its sixth consecutive game in the series, taking a 15–9 lead over the Eagles.

1983 Liberty Bowl – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 18 Meeting at the 1983 Liberty Bowl in Memphis Notre Dame and the Eagles engaged in a tight and taut contest — a harbinger. Despite Doug Flutie throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns, BC found itself on the short end of a 19–18 loss. The Eagles were down 19–12 at halftime and, after a Flutie TD pass to Scott Gieselman in the third quarter and a missed extra point, BC had an opportunity to win late in the game. On fourth down with 1:08 remaining, a Flutie pass fell incomplete for a Fighting Irish win. 1992 – Notre Dame 54, Boston College 7 In the first game of the revived series, a highly ranked BC team entered the game with high expectations and the goal of reaching a major bowl game. The Fighting Irish ended this hope with a crushing 54–7 victory, still the largest in the series. The game was punctuated—and the rivalry fueled on BC's side – by a successful fake punt called by Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz, early in the third quarter with his team already ahead 37–0. Also, the crowd scenes from the final game of the 1993 film Rudy were shot during halftime of this game. 1993 – Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39 Boston College held a 38–17 lead with 11:13 left in the game, but Notre Dame fought back. The Stadium rocked as they completed a 22 point comeback. But in the end, David Gordon hit a 41 yard field goal as time expired to drop the Irish to #4 in the rankings and eventually foil their hopes of finishing #1. It was BC's first ever win over the Fighting Irish. For their effort, the Eagles made the November 29, 1993, Sports Illustrated cover. 1998 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 26 No. 13 ranked Notre Dame defeated Boston College in a hard fought battle. Down 31–20 with 9:23 left in the game, Eagles senior quarterback Scott Mutryn threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to Anthony DiCosmo. After a failed two point conversion, the BC defense prevented a Notre Dame score. The Eagle offense then marched all the way to the Fighting Irish 4 yard line with only seconds remaining on the clock. Running back Mike Cloud was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on the first three downs, and on fourth down Notre Dame safety Deke Cooper tackled Cloud in the backfield to seal a 31–26 victory for the Fighting Irish. 1999 – Boston College 31, Notre Dame 29 The Fighting Irish came into the game in a must win situation in order to avoid its first bowl ineligible season since 1986, while the Eagles entered on a three game winning streak and had its best mark after 9 games since the 1993 campaign. The Eagles came out firing and withstood an early pair of touchdowns by Tony Fisher and Julius Jones, countering with touchdown passes by Tim Hasselbeck as the game was tied at 17 at the break. Hasselbeck would put the Eagles ahead for good with a 1 yard sneak in the third quarter and another touchdown toss early in the fourth. But the Fighting Irish showed no quit with their season on the line, as Jarious Jackson hit Fisher for a nine yard score. However, a missed extra point by Jim Sanson proved to be crucial. After Jones' 67 yard punt return for a score, the Fighting Irish were forced to go for the two point conversation—and failed. The Fighting Irish would get the ball back once more with 2:18 left on the clock, but on the second play of the drive, Jackson's pass was intercepted by Pedro Cirino. 2002 – Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7 BC went to Notre Dame Stadium to face No. 4 ranked Notre Dame, who were clad in their green jerseys for the first time in three years and for the first time at home in 17 seasons, and the team from Chestnut Hill brought back some ghosts of 1993 to Notre Dame. Notre Dame fumbled the ball seven times, losing three, and back up quarterback Pat Dillingham threw two interceptions. BC walked out with a 14–7 win, its first over a top 5 team since beating the No. 1 Fighting Irish in 1993 on the very same field. 2003 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 25 Notre Dame and BC staged another dramatic battle in 2003. As usual, the game came down to the final seconds. With the Eagles holding a 24–6 lead, the Fighting Irish fought back. Notre Dame's Nate Schiccatano blocked a BC punt late in the game and Carlos Campbell ran it 25 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left and a 25–24 Fighting Irish lead. On the ensuing Boston College possession, the Eagles marched down to the Fighting Irish 8 yard line where kicker Sandro Sciortino booted in a chip shot with 38 seconds left and a 27–25 BC win. 2004 – Boston College 24, Notre Dame 23 Trailing 20–7 at halftime, Boston College mounted a comeback led by quarterback Paul Peterson, who threw for 383 yards on the day. With 54 seconds left, Peterson hit Tony Gonzalez for a touchdown and a 24–23 win. A missed extra point by ND kicker D. J. Fitzpatrick in the first half would account for the difference in the game. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight loss to BC and its fifth in the previous six meetings. 2007 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 14 Entering the game ranked as the #4 team in the country, the 6–0 Eagles, led by standout Matt Ryan, played virtually flawless football for four quarters. After mounting a 20–0 lead, BC relinquished a pair of touchdowns to make it 20–14. An ineffective Jimmy Clausen had been replaced by Evan Sharpley, which appeared to ignite the Notre Dame offense. BC countered with a touchdown from Ryan to WR Kevin Challenger to solidify the victory. BC would go on to finish 11–3 on the season, while Notre Dame finished 3–9. 2008 – Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0 In 2008 the Fighting Irish made their first trip to Boston in 5 years where The Eagles recorded their first shutout in the series' history. The Eagles 17–0 win was BC's 6th straight against Notre Dame and tied the series record at 9 wins apiece. Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw 4 interceptions, including two to safety Paul Anderson (one of which was returned 76 yards for the Eagles' first touchdown of the day). Chris Crane added a TD pass to wideout Ifeanyi Momah to secure a victory. Notre Dame struggled on offense, failing to advance the ball past BC's 22 yard line at any point. 2009 – Notre Dame 20, Boston College 16 Notre Dame notched its first victory against BC since 2000, in a close game that had 5 lead changes. Jimmy Clausen threw for two touchdowns to Golden Tate, the second putting the Fighting Irish ahead for good. Notre Dame intercepted Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, with the final interception coming from linebacker Brian Smith with 98 seconds left in the game. 2010 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 Notre Dame got off to a fast start as quarterback Dayne Crist accounted for 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, including passes to Kyle Rudolph and Theo Riddick, before BC could put any points on the board. Notre Dame never looked back after the early lead, earning its second consecutive win in the series. The game was played under the lights in Chestnut Hill, where Boston College's student section emptied by the middle of the third quarter. 2011 – Notre Dame 16, Boston College 14 The #24 ranked Fighting Irish ground out an ugly victory against Boston College in which running back Jonas Gray scored for the eighth consecutive game. The victory in South Bend was part of an 8–5 record in Coach Brian Kelly's second season, while Boston College regressed to 4–8 in the third year under Coach Frank Spaziani. Notre Dame took a 12–9 series lead after the win. 2012 – Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6 The 2012 Holy War saw a further divergence between the fortunes of the Notre Dame and Boston College football programs. #4 Notre Dame rolled over a miserable Boston College team in Chestnut Hill en route to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game. Quarterback Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, while the stout Irish defense held Boston College to two field goals on the day. Boston College finished the season 2 10, and Spaziani was fired. Notre Dame, on the other hand, finished 12 1 and ranked #4 and #3 in the AP and Coaches Polls, respectively. 2015 – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16 After two seasons off, the rivalry resumed with the first football game played in historic Fenway Park in 47 years. The Fighting Irish entered the game ranked #4, but Boston College's #1 ranked defense kept the game close by securing 5 turnovers. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw two touchdowns, and three interceptions, in the Irish victory. Notre Dame finished the season 10 3 and ranked #11, while Boston College went 3–9 with only one victory over an FBS opponent. 2017 – Notre Dame 49, Boston College 20 This game in Chestnut Hill began as many in this rivalry do as a close, low scoring battle. Five minutes into the third quarter, Notre Dame led 14–13. From that point on, however, Notre Dame's rushing attack led by quarterback Brandon Wimbush and running back Josh Adams blasted Boston College for another 35 points. Wimbush and Adams each rushed for over 200 yards, as the team put up 515 rushing yards for its largest total since 1969. Notre Dame won its sixth consecutive game in the series, taking a 15–9 lead over the Eagles.

1983 Liberty Bowl – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 18 Meeting at the 1983 Liberty Bowl in Memphis Notre Dame and the Eagles engaged in a tight and taut contest — a harbinger. Despite Doug Flutie throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns, BC found itself on the short end of a 19–18 loss. The Eagles were down 19–12 at halftime and, after a Flutie TD pass to Scott Gieselman in the third quarter and a missed extra point, BC had an opportunity to win late in the game. On fourth down with 1:08 remaining, a Flutie pass fell incomplete for a Fighting Irish win. 1992 – Notre Dame 54, Boston College 7 In the first game of the revived series, a highly ranked BC team entered the game with high expectations and the goal of reaching a major bowl game. The Fighting Irish ended this hope with a crushing 54–7 victory, still the largest in the series. The game was punctuated—and the rivalry fueled on BC's side – by a successful fake punt called by Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz, early in the third quarter with his team already ahead 37–0. Also, the crowd scenes from the final game of the 1993 film Rudy were shot during halftime of this game. 1993 – Boston College 41, Notre Dame 39 Boston College held a 38–17 lead with 11:13 left in the game, but Notre Dame fought back. The Stadium rocked as they completed a 22 point comeback. But in the end, David Gordon hit a 41 yard field goal as time expired to drop the Irish to #4 in the rankings and eventually foil their hopes of finishing #1. It was BC's first ever win over the Fighting Irish. For their effort, the Eagles made the November 29, 1993, Sports Illustrated cover. 1998 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 26 No. 13 ranked Notre Dame defeated Boston College in a hard fought battle. Down 31–20 with 9:23 left in the game, Eagles senior quarterback Scott Mutryn threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to Anthony DiCosmo. After a failed two point conversion, the BC defense prevented a Notre Dame score. The Eagle offense then marched all the way to the Fighting Irish 4 yard line with only seconds remaining on the clock. Running back Mike Cloud was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on the first three downs, and on fourth down Notre Dame safety Deke Cooper tackled Cloud in the backfield to seal a 31–26 victory for the Fighting Irish. 1999 – Boston College 31, Notre Dame 29 The Fighting Irish came into the game in a must win situation in order to avoid its first bowl ineligible season since 1986, while the Eagles entered on a three game winning streak and had its best mark after 9 games since the 1993 campaign. The Eagles came out firing and withstood an early pair of touchdowns by Tony Fisher and Julius Jones, countering with touchdown passes by Tim Hasselbeck as the game was tied at 17 at the break. Hasselbeck would put the Eagles ahead for good with a 1 yard sneak in the third quarter and another touchdown toss early in the fourth. But the Fighting Irish showed no quit with their season on the line, as Jarious Jackson hit Fisher for a nine yard score. However, a missed extra point by Jim Sanson proved to be crucial. After Jones' 67 yard punt return for a score, the Fighting Irish were forced to go for the two point conversation—and failed. The Fighting Irish would get the ball back once more with 2:18 left on the clock, but on the second play of the drive, Jackson's pass was intercepted by Pedro Cirino. 2002 – Boston College 14, Notre Dame 7 BC went to Notre Dame Stadium to face No. 4 ranked Notre Dame, who were clad in their green jerseys for the first time in three years and for the first time at home in 17 seasons, and the team from Chestnut Hill brought back some ghosts of 1993 to Notre Dame. Notre Dame fumbled the ball seven times, losing three, and back up quarterback Pat Dillingham threw two interceptions. BC walked out with a 14–7 win, its first over a top 5 team since beating the No. 1 Fighting Irish in 1993 on the very same field. 2003 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 25 Notre Dame and BC staged another dramatic battle in 2003. As usual, the game came down to the final seconds. With the Eagles holding a 24–6 lead, the Fighting Irish fought back. Notre Dame's Nate Schiccatano blocked a BC punt late in the game and Carlos Campbell ran it 25 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left and a 25–24 Fighting Irish lead. On the ensuing Boston College possession, the Eagles marched down to the Fighting Irish 8 yard line where kicker Sandro Sciortino booted in a chip shot with 38 seconds left and a 27–25 BC win. 2004 – Boston College 24, Notre Dame 23 Trailing 20–7 at halftime, Boston College mounted a comeback led by quarterback Paul Peterson, who threw for 383 yards on the day. With 54 seconds left, Peterson hit Tony Gonzalez for a touchdown and a 24–23 win. A missed extra point by ND kicker D. J. Fitzpatrick in the first half would account for the difference in the game. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight loss to BC and its fifth in the previous six meetings. 2007 – Boston College 27, Notre Dame 14 Entering the game ranked as the #4 team in the country, the 6–0 Eagles, led by standout Matt Ryan, played virtually flawless football for four quarters. After mounting a 20–0 lead, BC relinquished a pair of touchdowns to make it 20–14. An ineffective Jimmy Clausen had been replaced by Evan Sharpley, which appeared to ignite the Notre Dame offense. BC countered with a touchdown from Ryan to WR Kevin Challenger to solidify the victory. BC would go on to finish 11–3 on the season, while Notre Dame finished 3–9. 2008 – Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0 In 2008 the Fighting Irish made their first trip to Boston in 5 years where The Eagles recorded their first shutout in the series' history. The Eagles 17–0 win was BC's 6th straight against Notre Dame and tied the series record at 9 wins apiece. Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw 4 interceptions, including two to safety Paul Anderson (one of which was returned 76 yards for the Eagles' first touchdown of the day). Chris Crane added a TD pass to wideout Ifeanyi Momah to secure a victory. Notre Dame struggled on offense, failing to advance the ball past BC's 22 yard line at any point. 2009 – Notre Dame 20, Boston College 16 Notre Dame notched its first victory against BC since 2000, in a close game that had 5 lead changes. Jimmy Clausen threw for two touchdowns to Golden Tate, the second putting the Fighting Irish ahead for good. Notre Dame intercepted Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, with the final interception coming from linebacker Brian Smith with 98 seconds left in the game. 2010 – Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13 Notre Dame got off to a fast start as quarterback Dayne Crist accounted for 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, including passes to Kyle Rudolph and Theo Riddick, before BC could put any points on the board. Notre Dame never looked back after the early lead, earning its second consecutive win in the series. The game was played under the lights in Chestnut Hill, where Boston College's student section emptied by the middle of the third quarter. 2011 – Notre Dame 16, Boston College 14 The #24 ranked Fighting Irish ground out an ugly victory against Boston College in which running back Jonas Gray scored for the eighth consecutive game. The victory in South Bend was part of an 8–5 record in Coach Brian Kelly's second season, while Boston College regressed to 4–8 in the third year under Coach Frank Spaziani. Notre Dame took a 12–9 series lead after the win. 2012 – Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6 The 2012 Holy War saw a further divergence between the fortunes of the Notre Dame and Boston College football programs. #4 Notre Dame rolled over a miserable Boston College team in Chestnut Hill en route to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game. Quarterback Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, while the stout Irish defense held Boston College to two field goals on the day. Boston College finished the season 2 10, and Spaziani was fired. Notre Dame, on the other hand, finished 12 1 and ranked #4 and #3 in the AP and Coaches Polls, respectively. 2015 – Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16 After two seasons off, the rivalry resumed with the first football game played in historic Fenway Park in 47 years. The Fighting Irish entered the game ranked #4, but Boston College's #1 ranked defense kept the game close by securing 5 turnovers. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw two touchdowns, and three interceptions, in the Irish victory. Notre Dame finished the season 10 3 and ranked #11, while Boston College went 3–9 with only one victory over an FBS opponent. 2017 – Notre Dame 49, Boston College 20 This game in Chestnut Hill began as many in this rivalry do as a close, low scoring battle. Five minutes into the third quarter, Notre Dame led 14–13. From that point on, however, Notre Dame's rushing attack led by quarterback Brandon Wimbush and running back Josh Adams blasted Boston College for another 35 points. Wimbush and Adams each rushed for over 200 yards, as the team put up 515 rushing yards for its largest total since 1969. Notre Dame won its sixth consecutive game in the series, taking a 15–9 lead over the Eagles.

Фрэнк Лихи ескерткіш тостағаны – Бостон колледжі мен Нотр-Дам футбол командаларының ойынының жеңімпазына табыс етілетін, үлкен кесілген кристаллдан жасалған тостаған.

Болашақ мәселесі
2012 жылғы маусымнан кейін ирландтар футболдан басқа барлық спорт түрлерінде АСК-ның ішінара мүшесі болды, осы спорт түрлерінде тәуелсіз статуста қалды. Алайда, АСК-ның серіктес мүшесі болу туралы келісімнің бір бөлігі ретінде, ирландтар әр маусымда АСК командаларымен бес ойын өткізуге міндетті. Осы жаңа міндеттемелерге байланысты 2015–2018 жылдарға жоспарланған ойындарға түзетулер енгізу қажет болды. БК бастапқыда 2015 жылы "Алюмни" стадионында қабылдаушы болуы тиіс еді, бірақ орнына "Фенвей" паркінде ойын ұйымдастырылды, ал ирландтар өздерінің үздіксіз Шамрок сериясы аясында бейтарап алаңда өткізді. 2014 жылдың 21 қазанында Нотр-Дамның 2025 жылға дейінгі АСК командаларымен болашақ ойындары жарияланды. "The Fighting Irish" 2017 жылдың 16 қыркүйегінде Бостон колледжіне сапар шекті; ал "Eagles" 2019 жылдың 23 қарашасында Нотр-Дамға келді. "Бөркіттер" 2022 жылдың 19 қарашасында Нотр-Дамға сапар жасады. Екі команда 2025 жылы Бостон колледжінде кездесуі жоспарланған.
