If you're headed to Notre Dame Stadium Saturday, the Irish coach is already worried about a hangover. Marcus Freeman studied how teams fare after big wins: "It's easy to say that's not going to be us, but it's a real thing." In 1993, Notre Dame lost 41-39 to Boston College a week after beating No. 1 Florida State.
Boston College is 4-5 after a 31-24 loss to Florida State, and CBS Sports says quarterback Mason McKenzie has rushed for a team-high 676 yards.
