The No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish maintained their undefeated record with a 45-23 win against the No. 24 Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday night at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Both offenses initially struggled to find their rhythm Saturday, but the Fighting Irish came to life in the second half.
Notre Dame junior quarterback Ian Book enjoyed his third consecutive strong outing since taking over as the starter, throwing for 271 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 25-of-35 passing.
Irish running back Dexter Williams was the offensive star of the game, though, with 178 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries, including a 97-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
