Notre Dame has officially ignited the pre-game atmosphere for the 29th edition of the Holy War, releasing a high-octane hype video titled “Eyes Forward” on Friday. Set to the beat of Moneybagg Yo’s “I See Why,” the clip showcases key moments from the Fighting Irish’s 2026 campaign, signaling the team’s readiness to defend its home turf. The No. 3 ranked Irish will host Boston College at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday on NBC, with the coveted Ireland Trophy at stake in the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl.
Notre Dame aims to extend historic 10-game winning streak in South Bend showdown
The statistical disparity between the two programs is stark, with Notre Dame holding a commanding 19-9 all-time advantage in this storied rivalry. The Fighting Irish are currently on a 10-game winning streak against the Eagles, a run that has persisted since 2009. Boston College’s last victory over Notre Dame came on November 8, 2008, when the Eagles shut out the Irish 17-0, capping a five-game series win streak that spanned from 2001 to 2008.
Despite the historical dominance, the matchup presents a clear path for the underdog. Boston College enters the contest with a 4-5 record, while Notre Dame sits at 8-1. The Eagles will look to break a decade-long drought and reclaim the Ireland Trophy, but they face a well-rested and highly motivated Notre Dame squad that is determined to extend its historic winning streak in front of a passionate South Bend crowd.
