Notre Dame is at home one last time in 2022. The No. 18 Irish (7-3) host Boston College (3-7, 2-5 ACC) Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. ET.

The game will have a wintry feel. Temperatures are expected to stay in the mid-20s for the duration of the game, with a possibility for snow later in the afternoon. The Notre Dame Stadium stands have a coating of snow on the ground. The mums behind the sidelines are buried in snow.
