Notre Dame Football: Key Defensive Matchups vs. Virginia Tech

On Saturday, Notre Dame football will play their third ACC opponent of the season. That opponent is Justin Fuente and the Virginia Tech Hokies.

The two teams enter the game with identical records of 5-2, but Notre Dame’s schedule has been objectively tougher up to this point.

The Hokies rode a three-game win streak into their bye week last weekend. Now, they hope to put together a promising performance in South Bend before entering the final stretch of their conference schedule.

After allowing the most points in a game since 2016, the Irish defense is in need of a rebound performance.
