The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 8-1 and ranked #9 in the college football playoff rankings. With three games left for the Irish, the path to end up in the top four is getting narrower and narrower — but there is still a path. Notre Dame travels to Charlottesville this week to take on Bronco Mendenhall’s Virginia Cavaliers with MAYBE quarterback Brennan Armstrong on the sideline.
SB Nation did some changes to the back end of the network, and in doing so, there are no longer the “team pages” with player hubs or stats. In service to all of our loyal readers, I offer this page as an easy reference to the basic information and stats for the 2021 season. I’ll keep it pinned somewhere under the fold throughout the season, as well as placing it in the “MORE” drop down menu.
