The goal: get up hugely fast and then put in the backups so starters don't get hurt.

Agree. We need to beat the Boston Baked Beans out of these Jezzy heretics.
For the Greater Glory of God.

This BC team is not that BC team
AL-Irish798 postsPeople forget the BC team that beat ND in 1993 wasn’t a bunch of scrubs. This was a 9-3, Tom Coughlin coached team. They beat the #13, #25, and the #1 team that season. (Syracuse, VaTech and ND, respectively) And almost beat the #5 team. (West Virginia)
Hopefully ND handles business and takes another step towards a 1st round bye

That team had a lot of NFL talent on it
There was a good amount of NFL talent on that team, and especially ones with staying power.
It was around that era that they were producing NFL linemen on a regular basis, and very good ones, too, if you include Ron Stone from the year before.
Just the ones who were drafted (not including the free agents):
QB Glenn Foley: 7R, played in the NFL for 6 years
QB Matt Hasselbeck: 6R, played in the NFL for 18 years
TE Pete Mitchell: 4R, played in the NFL for 9 years
G Pete Kendall: 1R, played in the NFL for 13 years
C Tom Nalen: 7R, played in the NFL for 14 years, 5 time Pro Bowl
LB Steve Boyd: 5R, played in the NFL for 7 years
LB Mike Reed: 7R, played in the NFL for 3 years
DE Mike Mamula: 1R, played in the NFL for 6 years
DE Chris Sullivan: 4R, played in the NFL for 6 years

Notre Dame defeated #1 Clemson in 2020...
And beat BC the following week.
Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

If THIS team Does THAT against THIS BC team …it was never capable of anything….
TakethetrainKnute36157 posts…great.
1993 was horrific…but they were respectable.
This would be much much different….
