To say last week didn’t go as planned would be putting it lightly. In a must win game, Notre Dame failed to show up and was embarrassed. As a result, there are no more Playoff hopes. There may not even be any more New Year’s Six hopes.
If Notre Dame wants to reverse those fortunes, they are going to have to put up “style points” and soundly defeat every opponent left. That starts Saturday with Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech is 5-2 on the season, with their losses to Virginia Tech and real bad blowout loss to Duke by a score of 45-10.
