With Brennan Armstrong out due to his rib injury, the Virginia Cavaliers had little to no chance of beating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as the tenth ranked team in the country won comfortably 28-3.
In the Fighting Irish’s first drive of the game the Wahoo defense put up a surprisingly strong front as Virginia bent but wouldn’t break. After 12 plays for 54 yards, the Notre Dame offense failed to convert a 4th and 1 on the UVA 21-yard line and handed the ball over to the Cavaliers.
A quick three and out from the ‘Hoos sent the ball right on back to the Fighting Irish after a shanked Jacob Finn punt that only went for a measly 14 yards gave Notre Dame fantastic field position at the Virginia 43-yard line.
