Notre Dame didn't wait until the last-minute to snap its six-game losing streak against Boston College.

Close, though.

Brian Smith picked off a pass by Dave Shinskie with 98 seconds left to seal Notre Dame's 20-16 victory over Boston College on Saturday, the first win for the Fighting Irish over the Eagles since 2000.
