Notre Dame Football: Three Things We Learned Against Virginia

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish went to Charlottesville for the second time and emerged victorious over the Virginia Cavaliers once again, this time in far less dramatic fashion. This game was expected to be competitive if Brennan Armstrong played, but he didn’t - and it wasn’t. The Irish cruised to a 28-3 victory that could have been even more emphatic but for a few Irish mistakes, as well as a clear strategy on the part of the coaching staff to rest to some key contributors. With the Irish at 9-1 with a pair of teams with losing records on the schedule to close out the season, let’s take a look at three storylines from this game to follow looking ahead.
