Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Virginia Tech Hokies wide receiver Tayvion Robinson (9) and wide receiver Tre Turner (11) celebrate following Turner�s long catch during the third quarter at Lane Stadium. The Hokies on the other hand, have only been giving up 15.3 points per game on 190.3 passing yards and 136.3 rushing yards. Notre Dame is giving up 23.4 points per game on 270 passing yards and 122.4 rushing yards. On defense, the Fighting Irish are seemingly playing to the level of their competition, but this has always been saying about the Irish. Virginia Tech is averaging 23.5 points per game on 190.8 passing yards and 140.8 rushing yards. The Hokies are just being the Fighting Irish, even though they have a more balanced offense. Averaging 30.8 points per game on 280.4 passing yards and just 82 rushing yards.
Offensively, the Fighting Irish, at least on paper seems to be doing alright. Notre Dame, coming off of a tough loss last week at home against Cincinnati looks to straighten things out this week when they travel to take on the 3-1 Hokies.
