Live updates from Notre Dame Stadium as the Irish look to move to 9-1 and one step closer to the College Football Playoff.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have moved up in the AP Top 25 poll after beating the Virginia Cavaliers 35-14 on Saturday. That’s the highest the Irish have been since being No. 5 earlier this season. Moving up two spots in the poll should help the Irish make a stronger case for the College Football Playoff.

It was the final home game of the regular season, and on Senior Day the Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated the Virginia Cavaliers 35-14. The Irish scored on their first “possession”, then traded punts with the Cavaliers for the next 9 possessions.
