Overall, Notre Dame didn’t play a complete game but was in control from the start. It is two wins away from reaching the College Football Playoff and will likely return to its home field for a First-Round playoff game. Notre Dame’s defense was truly dominant on Saturday (more on that later), but the most important thing it did was turn Virginia over. Correlate that Notre Dame turned Virginia’s first four turnovers into the first 28 points of the game.
After Chris Tyree muffed the opening kickoff for Virginia, Notre Dame scored a few plays later to take a 7-0 lead. The next four possessions were not the case as the Irish went three-and-out on those possessions. In sum, totaling just 20 yards along the way and keeping Virginia in the game longer than necessary.
Certainly, Notre Dame’s defense played lights out. Virginia’s first 11 possessions consisted of 41 plays, totaling 138 yards and no points. That’s an average of just 3.6 yards per play. Additionally, the forced turnovers put things out of reach for Virginia before the teams hit the locker rooms for halftime.
