The Notre Dame Fighting Irish attempts to pick up the pieces after watching their perfect 4-0 start crumble in a 24-13 loss to Cincinnati on Saturday. Their opponents this week will be the Virginia Tech Hokies, with the Irish looking to win their third consecutive game in this short series that began five years ago.
Virginia Tech has won three of their four games this season, with all three at home. The Hokies’ one blemish came in a road clash against West Virginia, with Tech so far showing an ability to offer a balanced offensive attack. One area to watch will be their rushing defense.
