1. Notre Dame holds Georgia Tech out of the end zone

Notre Dame hasn’t given up a touchdown in two games. Yes, you read that correctly: since giving up 34 points to North Carolina, the Irish have allowed a total of nine points over the past two games on three field goals from Navy and Virginia.

The Irish defense has been fantastic this season, allowing under 365 total yards per game and just 20.5 points per game. That dominance is going to continue as Georgia Tech doesn’t have the best offense, averaging just over 400 yards and 29 points per game. And this is the best defense the Yellow Jackets have seen.

After four straight losses, the Yellow Jackets are reeling and they’re out of bowl contention already so a loss here is almost expected.

I see Notre Dame dominating this game and cruising to a three-touchdown win while not allowing a single touchdown for a third straight game.

If this holds true, Notre Dame will have not allowed a single touchdown in the month of November with just one game left. Unreal stuff.
