WHAT’S AT STAKE
For the Fighting Irish to prove they are a national championship contender, they will have to end a five-game losing streak in true road games on their first visit to Charlottesville. The Cavaliers are in the midst of the most difficult September schedule in the country and would love to even their record with a victory.
KEY MATCHUP
Notre Dame QB Malik Zaire against the Virginia defense. The Cavaliers gave up 351 passing yards and three touchdowns last week in a 34-16 loss against UCLA, and Zaire threw for 313 yards with three touchdowns and just three incompletions in 22 attempts in a 38-3 rout of Texas.
