Notre Dame Football Schedule 2024: 5 Things to Know About Virginia, Early Prediction
By this point in the season Notre Dame should know exactly where it stands in the College Football Playoff race.
Realistically, unless the wheels completely come off, the Irish shouldn’t be any worse than 7-2 when Virginia comes to South Bend.
The date at Texas A&M starts the season, there are a few landmines to sidestep, like a dangerous Louisville team and road games at Purdue and Georgia Tech, but the real key will be what happens the week before this November 16th game.
Virginia might be the letdown moment after facing Florida State.
Again, assuming all is going at least okay and the Irish have at least seven wins, either this will be a momentum game after a big win over the Seminoles, or desperation time in the final home game of the season before going to New York City to face Army and then LA to play USC.
We’re talking mid-November here for this, so only about a gajillion things will change between now and then, but in the meantime, here are 5 things Notre Dame fans should know about Virginia.
It’s been a really, really rough run for Virginia football.
From several close losses on the field, to a tragedy in 2022 off of it, there’s hope after two straight seasons with just three wins in each.
This late in the season the team will be full of experience across the board no matter what, but as long as the veterans tighten up from the start this season, and if the mistakes that have been a crusher slow down, this could be a dangerous post-Florida State hangover team for the Irish to deal with.
The Cavalier skill parts won’t be bad, they should be in a bit of a groove this late in the season. The O line couldn’t get the ground game going and was miserable in pass protection.
Four starters are back, and UCF transfer Drake Metcalf is a good center, but by this point in the year this bunch had better be night-and-day better than it was in 2023, or it’ll be a long day.
There’s size, experience, and talent on the Virginia defensive front, but pressuring Riley Leonard should be a problem.
Virginia generated just 11 sacks last season, and it mattered. Most of those game in the first four games, and it was a struggle in key moments as the season went on.
Let’s not overplay this TOO much, but in a game that might be lacking big storylines outside of the Game After Florida State thing, former Notre Dame RB/WR will now be a big deal for Virginia.
Tyree was a solid runner for the Irish with 1,162 yards and eight scores in his first three seasons, and then he played a bigger role as a true receiver. He left with 82 grabs for 945 yards and seven scores, and now he’ll be in the slot for Virginia.
To keep reiterating this, we’re talking about a game that will happen in mid-November. Teams change, seasons change, guys get hurt, guys step up, and yeah, yeah, yeah. However, this aspect should matter.
Virginia should have a better, more consistent passing game, but it has to run well to win.
The Cavalier offense ran for over 140 yards three times last year – the team was 3-0. It was 0-9 when it didn’t.
Virginia will be plucky, and it’ll make this a game for a while, but it’ll miss out on several key opportunities.
Expect lots of bending by the Notre Dame defense, but not a lot of breaking.
After the Florida State game the Irish will be workmanlike, with the lines and defense taking over as the game goes on. It won’t be perfect, but it’ll be a good win for the Irish to keep the College Football Playoff momentum going.

Two dead after I-495 road rage incident leads to stabbing, Virginia State Police shooting – WTOP News
A road rage incident led to a shooting involving the Virginia State Police on Sunday on Interstate 495. Four individuals were also stabbed.
Two people are dead Sunday in Annandale, Virginia, after a road rage incident led to a shooting involving Virginia State Police on Interstate 495.
A release issued by the Virginia State Police said a trooper fatally shot a man after responding to a report of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 just before 1:30 p.m. at exit 52, near the Little River Turnpike.
The man, transferred to a hospital with serious injuries, has been pronounced dead. VSP said the trooper shot in self-defense after the man confronted him with a knife.
The trooper did not suffer any injuries during the altercation.
Officials found four stabbing victims at the scene, but only identified a 39-year-old woman and a dog. Both the woman and the dog died.
Early findings suggest the stabbings took place after a crash on the Capital Beltway. The crash remains under investigation.
The VSP’s release comes after the main lanes of the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, before Little River Turnpike, were closed to traffic for several hours, only recently opening the express lanes. Main lanes between Arlington Boulevard and the Little River Turnpike remain closed.

Virginia Huffman Obituary February 27, 2026 – Ott & Lee Funeral Homes
Mary “Virginia” Huffman, 82, of Pelahatchie, Mississippi, passed away on February 27, 2026.
Born on February 28, 1943, in Morton, Mississippi, she was the daughter of Carl and Nannie Mae Bradshaw. She married the love of her life, Jimmy Lavell Huffman, on June 14, 1963, and together they built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Virginia devoted nearly 50 years to teaching high school math, beginning at Morton High School and later serving at East Rankin Academy. Generations of students were shaped by her steady guidance, high expectations, and deep belief in their potential. Many would say they entered college prepared because they had learned from “Mrs. Huffman.” Her students knew the famous “Mrs. Huffman look,” but no one understood it quite like her children and grandchildren. To many, she was more than a teacher—she was a mentor, encourager, and second mother.
A faithful member of Cross Roads Baptist Church, Virginia was a true matriarch and prayer warrior whose life was anchored in her love for the Lord. She woke each morning to study the Word of God and carried that faith into every conversation, classroom, and season of life. She played piano and organ, sang in the choir, and on Sunday mornings could often be found at home practicing the piano before church—something her family dearly loved listening to. She served her church and community with quiet devotion. Whether tutoring students during the summer, helping families in need, or visiting church members, she consistently lived out a servant’s heart.
She loved farm life—raising chickens and cows, cutting hay, tending her flower beds, and cooking for the people she loved. She was especially known for her strawberry pies, egg custard, and caramel cake (see Cheryl Moore for the recipe). She faithfully attended her grandchildren’s sporting events and found her greatest joy in cheering on her family. She loved deeply and wholeheartedly, treating not only her own children and grandchildren as treasures, but embracing many others in her community as if they were her own.
She is survived by her husband, Jimmy Lavell Huffman; her children, Connie Goodman (Mike), Karen Jones, and Jade Huffman; her grandchildren, Christin (Colby) (Candace), Christopher (Victoria), Dillon, Marley, Halle (Elijah), Kyla Kate, and Eli; her great-grandchildren, Autumn, Titus, Sophia, Liam, Scarlett, Luke, and Ava; and her siblings, Paul (Joyce) and Delilah.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Nannie Mae Bradshaw; her in-laws, Clyde Sr. and Zora Huffman; her son, Scot Huffman; and her sisters, May Erving and Maxine Strong.
Virginia will be remembered as a woman of unwavering faith, steadfast strength, and extraordinary love. Her legacy lives on in the family she nurtured, the students she prepared, and the countless lives she covered in prayer.
Visitation will be held from 5:00 pm – until on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at Cross Roads Baptist Church in Pelahatchie and again on Monday, March 2, 2026 from 12 pm – 1 pm.
Services will be held at 1pm Monday, March 2, 2026 at Cross Roads Baptist Church with burial in the church cemetery.
Bro. John Vaughn, Bro. Gary Morris and Bro. Steven Platt will officate the services.
Pallbearers will be Tim Wolverton, Colby Boyd, Christopher Wilson, Dillon Pettigrew, Eli Huffman and Elijah Moore.
Ott and Lee Funeral Home in Morton is honored to serve the Huffman family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Cross Roads Baptist Church Building Fund.
