The Notre Dame football team will travel to Virginia to take on the Cavaliers on Saturday night, and here are three bold predictions for the matchup.

The Notre Dame football team will play in primetime in Week 11, as they head to Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers. The Irish are 8-1 on the season, and still alive in the CFP race, making Saturday night’s matchup a huge one for the program.

Here, we will take a look at some bold predictions for the Irish in this Week 11 battle.

Notre Dame football at Virginia: 3 bold predictions in Week 11

Kyren Williams runs for 200-plus yards

Last weekend, the Virginia defense was run over by the BYU Cougars, as BYU rushed for 385 yards and six touchdowns against their defense. That effort was led by Tyler Allegeir, who had 266 of those yards, and five of those touchdowns, and while I do not believe Kyren Williams will duplicate that effort, he could come close.

Remember, this is a guy who is running with a lot of fury as of late, and he nearly racked up 200 yards against North Carolina a few weeks back. If Allegeier can get close to 300, I believe that Williams will go over 200 yards for the first time this season, rushing behind a much-improved offensive line.
