Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Saturday's win over Virginia.

Very little went right for Notre Dame in Charlottesville on Saturday.

The ninth-ranked Fighting Irish were able to come up with an improbable late touchdown to seal a 34-27 road win against Virginia, a 39-yard heave from backup quarterback DeShone Kizer with time winding down, but the cost was devastating: Starting quarterback Malik Zaire will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured ankle.
