The Irish So Far in 2018
From SI.com: "In ending the Irish’s three-game losing streak to Stanford, quarterback Ian Book solidified his standing as the starter moving forward, throwing for 278 yards and four touchdowns. He has completed 73% of his passes for 603 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions since earning the job. The defense also came to play, as the Cardinal had only 229 yards of total offense, their lowest total in nearly two years."

The Longhorns vs. Sooners Trends and Prediction
The Hokies are 11-4 Against The Spread in their last 15 home games.
Here is the AthlonSports pick for this game: "Notre Dame’s the better team. They have better talent and are rightly confident after the win over then-No. 7 Stanford. Book has changed the dynamic of the Irish offense, and the defense has been consistently disruptive all year. But last November, similar things were being said about Notre Dame as the Irish ventured down to Miami for a prime-time showdown with the Canes. And it was ugly from the start. The environment at Hard Rock Stadium overwhelmed the Irish, and a Miami team that crashed and burned thereafter thumped ND 41-8. Book didn’t start that game, but he played and threw a bad pick-6 at the end of the half. Notre Dame will encounter that same level of excitement at Lane Stadium on Saturday night, and if the Irish learned nothing from last year’s experience in Miami, they will be in big trouble. But I believe that disaster will be of benefit this time around. In a tight battle, Notre Dame comes out on top and remains in the early playoff conversation. Prediction: Notre Dame 28, Virginia Tech 24"
