First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm, as neither managed to score. The Eagles' defense held firm initially, with players like Omar Thornton making significant contributions by forcing fumbles and recording tackles.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, the game began to open up. The Fighting Irish took control by scoring 12 points. However, BC responded with a touchdown pass from Grayson James to Reed Harris for their first points of the game. James completed 25 passes for 240 yards throughout the match but was intercepted twice.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, ND extended their lead by adding another six points in this period. The Eagles managed only a field goal from Luca Lombardo who maintained his perfect kicking record this season with one successful attempt from 25 yards out.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw ND solidify their victory by scoring an additional seven points while keeping BC scoreless. Despite efforts from players like Turbo Richard who rushed for several first downs and Jaedn Skeete's eight receptions totaling over seventy yards, it wasn't enough to overcome ND's dominance.


Overall possession favored BC slightly at nearly thirty-six minutes compared to ND's twenty-four; however turnovers proved costly as they committed three interceptions during crucial moments of play which hindered any potential comeback opportunities late into proceedings
