After a week off, the Virginia Tech Hokies (3-1) are back in action. The Hokies will host the No. 14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday night in Blacksburg. This is the fourth all-time meeting between the two schools — all since 2016.
The Fighting Irish lead the series, 2-1, and two out of three meetings were decided by three points or less. The only blowout occurred in 2018 — the only previous game in Blacksburg. It was also a prime-time Saturday night game.
To get a better feel for who Notre Dame is in 2021, I spoke with Pat Rick, the managing editor of One Foot Down, our SB Nation site covering all things Notre Dame.
