On Saturday, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech will meet for just the third time in college football history. The two teams met for the first time in 2016 and again last season. Both matchups have been while Brian Kelly was leading the Irish and Justin Fuente was at the helm of the Hokie program.
Surprisingly, Frank Beamer coached at Virginia Tech for a total of 28 years and never once met up with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — regular season or bowl game. That’s really too bad, as it would have been fun to see the College Football Hall of Famer go toe-to-toe with Lou Holtz once or twice.
