The Hoos head home after a fairly disastrous season opener in Los Angeles. Meeting them in the home opener is nation powerhouse Notre Dame. The Irish aren't the team they were 30 or 50 years ago, but they are still pretty good. Currently ranked #9 in the nation, they have CFB Playoff aspirations and may have the talent to do it. Can Virginia slow them down?
The Hoos face their second straight top 15 team, as Notre Dame comes to Scott Stadium for the Hoos' season opener. This is the first matchup between the two teams since Notre Dame's ACC football quasi-membership began.
