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.

While the final score might not indicate, Notre Dame football handily defeated Virginia on Senior Day in South Bend. The Irish got on the scoreboard immediately, and didn’t look back as they never trailed the Cavaliers. It was a solid performance for Notre Dame, which saw some good news as no one was injured in the victory.
