When added to the injuries to Kyle Hamilton and Avery Davis, that meant the Irish were down a full quartet of their captains and three defensive starters. Following the game, Brian Kelly said that upwards of 13 players missed practice this week due to illness (non-COVID), turning the trip to Charlottesville into an all-hands-on-deck affair for those able to suit up. Notre Dame was very much aided by the absence of Cavaliers starting quarterback Brennan Armstrong and a forgiving Bronco Mendenhall defense but they did what you’re supposed to do against an overmatched open and won comfortably. That’s 40 straight wins against unranked opponents, 14 straight wins in the month of November and barring a disaster I do not want to consider it will mark the fifth consecutive season of double-digit victories. Not bad.
