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.

Notre Dame will be without one of its most important defensive players against Virginia. Graduate senior defensive tackle Howard Cross III is out with an ankle injury. That’s been known since Monday.

Xavier Watts notched his 11th career interception, while Adon Shuler and Leonard Moore pushed their season totals to a combined five picks for Notre Dame.
