The Fighting Irish are coming off a 23-17 loss to No. 3 Georgia that dropped them three spots to No. 10, and they can’t afford another loss if they want to keep their outside chances at a playoff spot alive.
No. 18 Virginia is searching for a statement win. The Cavaliers’ first four opponents (Pitt, William & Mary, Florida State, Old Dominion) are all varying degrees of uninspiring, and with Virginia not playing No. 1 Clemson this year, the Fighting Irish are the only ranked team left on the schedule.

Entering Week 5, Coach Bronco Mendenhall’s defense ranks No. 14 in the country with 263.2 yards allowed per game, but Notre Dame poses the most formidable test yet. Last week, against a Georgia defense that was ranked in the top 10, quarterback Ian Book led the Fighting Irish offense to 321 yards and 17 points.
Virginia’s offense runs through quarterback Bryce Perkins, a dual-threat completing 63.1 percent of his passes and leading the team with 51 carries. He’s been turnover-prone, though, throwing four interceptions, and the Fighting Irish have 3 picks in their first four games.
