SOUTH BEND — A bizarre game also ended in a familiar way for Notre Dame football: a dominant win. Despite two long touchdowns being called back within three plays in the second quarter, the No. 8-ranked Fighting Irish didn’t let it phase them.

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.

In a game where Notre Dame scored five touchdowns, it was one the Fighting Irish didn’t score that might have been the most important one.
