The Notre Dame football team hits the road in Week 11, traveling to Charlottesville, Virginia to take on the Virginia Cavaliers.

Since coming off the bye week, the Notre Dame football team has won three games in a row, beating USC, UNC, and Navy at home. This weekend, the Irish take a road trip to Charlottesville, Virginia, where they will take on the Cavaliers in a game that should look nothing like the matchup against the Midshipmen.

While Navy loves to run the ball, utilizing a triple-option on the offensive side of the ball, the Cavaliers love to throw it. This will be an incredible test for the Irish secondary, especially if Kyle Hamilton is forced to miss a third straight game after injuring his leg against USC in the first game out of the bye week.

Sitting at 8-1, and very much alive for a major bowl game, or even an outside shot at a College Football Playoff appearance, this is another must-win game for the Irish. They have taken care of business so far since the loss to Cincinnati but must avoid another slow start against this Cavaliers offense on Saturday night in primetime.

Notre Dame football at Virginia Prediction Week 11

Notre Dame football has played a roller coaster of a schedule all season long, looking like a top-5 team at times, and then struggling to move the ball effectively at others. They will need to come out and play a clean game early on against Virginia, as they have the kind of quick-strike offense that can put you in a hole.

Overall, the talent on these teams is not even close, and the Irish have seen some great play from even their true freshmen as of late. In this one, I believe that is going to be the difference late, as well as the coaching, with Marcus Freeman dialing up a defense that will put the clamps on the Virginia passing attack.

Notre Dame goes on the road and wins this one by the score of 30-21.
