By KYLE HIGHTOWERBOSTON — Ian Book
passed for three touch-
downs and ran for another,
and No. 2 Notre Dame
overcame an early deficit
to roll to a 45-31 victory
over Boston College on
Saturday.
The Fighting Irish’s
eighth straight win in the
series between the FBS’
only Catholic institutions
gave coach Brian Kelly his
100th career victory at the
school, tying him with Lou
Holtz for second all-time.
He is now just five behindcoach Knute Rockne.
“One hundred wins. I was
gonna say it felt like 100
years. But it’s not some-
thing I spend time thinking
about. I will when I’m not
coaching anymore,” Kelly
said. “It means I’ve had a lot
of good players, a lot of
good coaches. I’m fortunate
to be at Notre Dame that
long.
“It’s not easy to win that
many games at Notre
Dame.”Coming off a thrilling vic-
tory against Clemson, No-
tre Dame (8-0, 7-0 ACC)
racked up a season-high 561
total yards against BC led
by Book, who finished 20 of
27 for 283 yards.
He also ran for a 85 yards
and a touchdown. Ben Sko-
wronek caught all three of
Book’s TD passes, but also
had one of three Notre
Dame fumbles on the day.
C’Bo Flemister ran for two
touchdowns before leaving
the game in the fourth
quarter with an apparent
left leg injury.
Phil Jurkovec, a transferfrom Notre Dame playing
against his former team
for the first time, finished
18-of-40 for 272 yards, a
touchdown and intercep-
tion for Boston College
(5-4, 4-4).
The Eagles hung tough in
the first half, recovering a
pair of Notre Dame fum-
bles, but they scored just
six points off the miscues.
Their defense also had
few answers for Book, who
took advantage of the Irish’s
length at receiver through-
out the game to produce
five pass plays of 20 or
more yards. — APkicked to the curb: Illinois
