Notre Dame vs. Boston College live stream: How to watch online

The Notre Dame vs. Boston College live stream sees the nationally-ranked teams clash with a few interesting story lines between them. First, this rivalry pits the two biggest Catholic college football teams against each other in the so-called "Holy War." It also presents a chance for history to repeat itself. 

Over the years, Boston College has played spoiler to Notre Dame's national title aspirations. That includes back in 1993, when BC knocked off then-#1 ranked Notre Dame on a last-second field goal. More recently, though, Notre Dame has had the upper hand, winning the last seven matchups. Currently, Notre Dame is ranked #2 in the country after defeating Clemson last week. Notre Dame is currently favored by 11.5 points, but nobody would be surprised if the game were much closer than that.

The winner of the game will receive the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl, named after the coach who led both teams in the 40s and 50s. 

Boston College's starting quarterback, Phil Jurkovec, is a transfer from Notre Dame, where he was the backup behind Ian Book.

Last—but not least—this is BC's annual "Red Bandana" game, where the team wears special uniforms to commemorate Welles Crowther, a 1999 BC graduate who died on September 11 while rescuing a number of people from the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
