The Notre Dame football team takes on Virginia Tech on Saturday night, and here are three Hokies that must be stopped in the game.

Every week there are certain players that you focus on from the other team that you think will have a big impact on the game and you decide on how you want to neutralize them. This week is going to be no different for the Notre Dame football team on Saturday night against the Virginia Tech Hokies.

The Hokies have a few players that can easily cause this weekend to go south very quickly. Virginia Tech comes into this weekend sitting at 3-1 but their one loss was an upset at the hands of West Virginia. Throughout those four games, they have relied heavily on a few key guys, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Most of the time you would think that key players are on the offensive side of the ball scoring points but as we take a deeper look into who the Irish need to stop this weekend you will see a different story for this Hokie program.

Let’s take a look into the top-3 players Notre Dame football should be game-planning around.
