Irish win over an AP No. 1 team

If you're headed to Notre Dame Stadium or settling in at home, the Irish (8-1), No. 5 in the CFP, host Boston College (4-5) with the Frank Leahy Trophy on the line. They're coming off their 10th win over an AP No. 1 team, and NBC has the call with Jason Benetti and Jason Garrett.

Coach Marcus Freeman is calling for the Irish to "leave no doubt". He also knows 1993, when Notre Dame beat No. 1 Florida State 31-24, then lost 41-39 to Boston College the next week. Freeman said:

“It's easy to say, 'That's not going to be us.' But it's a real thing.”
