What you need to know about the Notre Dame vs. Virginia online live stream and TV broadcast, as well as game preview

For the second week in a row, the Virginia Cavaliers will play a team with their eyes on the College Football Playoff.

After losing 34-16 to No. 13 UCLA in their season opener, the Cavaliers will host No. 9 Notre Dame, which looked the part of a national championship contender in its 38-3 trouncing of the Texas Longhorns.

The Irish will be without the services of running back Tarean Folston after he tore his ACL in the game against Texas. Folston was the top running back for the Irish last season, carrying the ball for 889 yards and six touchdowns. Despite his loss, the Cavaliers will have their hands full with quarterback Malik Zaire, who completed 19 of 22 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns against Texas, and the rest of the Irish.

If Virginia wants to shock the nation, the Hoos will have to have play as perfect as possible and hope for a couple of miscues from the Irish. But as we saw in the first week of play, and have become accustomed to throughout the years, anything is possible on Saturday in college football.
