Notre Dame Vs Virginia Tech Predictions

Notre Dame staggers to the finish line hosting VT on Senior Day in the last Home Game of the 2016 Season. There is no magic left for teams playing in Notre Dame Stadium, those days vanished long ago. And it won’t matter since VT will win this game.

VT is currently standing at 7-3 with a chance to make the ACC Championship Game under 1st year HC Justin Fuente. VT lost to Tennessee, Syracuse and just last week to Georgia Tech. In the GT game VT fell behind by 20 points and could not recover as GT won 30-20.

When you look at VT you see a team that is up and down similar to what ND went through this year, but this team can come in and roll over a team that stumbled all year.

VT has a very good defense – good front 7 and a secondary that is pretty good also. Their LB’s are very active and can lay the wood on you, so Kizer better pick his spots and avoid hits.

On offense VT has a very dangerous QB. Jerod Evans is a dual threat weapon who is about the same size as Kizer. Evans only has 4 picks this year and 2 occurred last week – so he’s careful with the ball throwing 22 TD’s and he’s run for over 600 yards. So they can score and they can play defense.

Now Notre Dame. Kelly drags in a totally overrated OL, a 4 play offense and if Kizer is not protected he will just start running and will be punished by the VT linebackers.

VT averages over 400 yards per game and if Evans is hot they’ll match that Saturday. They like to go to their 6’7″ TE but this kid also lines up as a wideout.
