Notre Dame improved to 9-1 on the season with a 25-point road victory over a Power 5 opponent Saturday night, and there’s still a large contingent of the fanbase unhappy with the performance. The Irish entered the contest already unmannered after two seasons’ worth of critical injuries and then lost more starters because of an outbreak of the flu. Luckily for the Irish, Virginia had their own availability issues with star QB Brennan Armstrong sitting out the game with a rib injury.
