What to know: The Irish (4-1) are trying to rebound from a three-turnover 24-13 loss to Cincinnati last week. This is the ultimate test for them. Go to Lane Stadium, one of the loudest venues in college football and take on a Virginia Tech (4-1) team that is arguably as talented as Cincinnati. Braxton Burmeister, a 6 foot 1, junior quarterback for the Hokies, is their leading rusher. He has run for 224 yards. VT isn’t pushing out lots of points or yards. They average 190 yards passing and 141 yards rushing per game. They are averaging 23.5 points and giving up 15 points.
The Hokies are ranked 46th in overall defense. North Carolina only scored 10 points against the Hokies. That was their best defensive performance. Notre Dame hasn’t announced a starting quarterback. Drew Pyne led the Irish to their 13-points last week. It’ll be a difficult environment for him to get his first start. Jack Coan has started every game for Notre Dame. It’s crucial for the Irish to get off to a solid start in a hostile environment. They have struggled to put points on the board in the first quarter. If Pyne is the quarterback, he’ll have a lot to figure out quickly. If it’s Coan, he’ll be under pressure to perform. The sentiment from ND fans is that Pyne deserves a shot but Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly seems to want to give Coan every chance he can to lose the job. So far, it’s not clear if Kelly feels like Pyne has won it. Stay tuned.
