Notre Dame Looks to Bounce Back as the Irish Head to Blacksburg to Take on Virginia Tech

Notre Dame Looks to Bounce Back as the Irish Head to Blacksburg to Take on Virginia Tech

Nothing like a large road test following a big time loss. That’s where Notre Dame finds themselves this week as they head to Blacksburg to take on Virginia Tech in one of the more hostile college football environments. This Notre Dame team is very different than the one who went into Blacksburg and handed it to Va Tech. That Irish team could lean on the run game to get the win – and as we have seen this year so…

Showdown in Chicago: #12 Notre Dame takes on # 18 Wisconsin at Solider Field.

Two power house programs are set to face-off in another installment of the Shamrock Series when Notre Dame lines up vs Wisconsin Saturday in Chicago.

Senior Day 2020: Fighting Irish Look to End Regular Season Perfect as Struggling Syracuse Heads to South Bend

Saturday will be the last game at Notre Dame for a group of seniors who have only lost 6 games since walking on campus back in 2017…and half of those losses came when they were freshmen. Covid-19 will prevent giving a proper send-off, but the goal doesn’t change: beat Syracuse and stay perfect at Notre Dame Stadium. There is very little, if anything, that worries me about Saturday’s game. As long as Notre Dame leaves the locker room and takes…

Notre Dame (8-0, 7-0 ACC) heads to Chapel Hill to face North Carolina (6-2, 6-2 ACC) in the final road test this season.
