In November, the first game on the 2019 Notre Dame football schedule begins with a visit by the Virginia Tech Hokies, who are coming off a 6-7 season in 2018. Last year’s effort for Justin Fuente’s squad began with promise as Tech won three of their first four contests, but stumbled enough that two wins to close out the regular season were required to reach a minor bowl game.
The Hokies then lost the Military Bowl to Cincinnati, giving them their first losing season since 1992, with Fuente set to begin his fourth season in Blacksburg.
