While it's clear that the Notre Dame football team didn't play anywhere near its best game of the season against Boston College, that doesn't mean the refs needed to help the Eagles out. And yet, at least one of BC's scores came in large part to a wrong call. An incorrect call that refs have apparently admitted was ... wrong.
The call in question was on a 4th and 3 play where the Irish seemed to have stopped Bill O'Brien's squad with a massive sack by defensive lineman Joshua Burnham. However, after ND started celebrating the end of the drive, the refs called Burnham for a facemask penalty that kept BC's drive going, eventually allowing Boston College to make the score 12-10.
