Undefeated and sixth-ranked Notre Dame returns to the road on Saturday night for a date with 24th ranked Virginia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The 3-1 Hokies are having an up and down season, as evidenced by numerous off-field player issues, significant injuries, an inexplicable loss to 1-4 Old Dominion and an impressive road win last week over 22nd-ranked Duke. Saturday’s clash is the featured game in prime time on ABC, and coverage will start at 8:00 pm Eastern time.
The Irish are playing on their sixth consecutive Saturday, but won’t get a breather in the schedule until after next week’s home game against Pittsburgh.
