The Notre Dame football team took care of business against Virginia in Week 11, and here are three things we learned in the victory.

In what ended up being a lopsided affair, the Notre Dame football team dominated the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday night, moving their record to 9-1 on the season. The Irish were outstanding on both sides of the ball, building a 21-0 halftime lead, and did not look back in what turned into a laugher.

Here, we take a look at three things we learned in the victory on Saturday night.

The Irish are not losing the rest of the way

Over the past few weeks, the Irish have looked like one of the best teams in the country, and they made easy work of Virginia on Saturday night. Looking ahead, they take on the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets at home and then go on the road to play Stanford, not exactly a tough schedule to finish out the year.

In fact, I believe the Irish are going to run the table the rest of the way, finishing 11-1 on the season, and jumping into the conversation for the College Football Playoff. They may not get in, as the loss to Cincinnati is a big one, but they will make it very tough to just write them off after finishing out the season strong.
