Notre Dame loses a guard for an unknown amount of time.
Notre Dame freshman guard [autotag]Sir Mohammed[/autotag] will be out indefinitely with an injury.
Mohammed has played in two games this season, scoring 5 points and plucking 7 rebounds in just under 26 minutes of total playing time.
He’s had a left knee injury pestering him since the summer, and now he will be undergoing surgery for a “lower body injury.” This according to Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune.
It’s unclear when he’ll return as the Fighting Irish attempt to continue an ongoing rebuild.
Notre Dame guard Sir Mohammed looks for a teammate to pass too during a college basketball game against Stonehill College at Purcell Pavilion on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in South Bend.

Former Notre Dame running back Audric Estime might start for the Denver Broncos this week.
Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag] is a rookie with the NFL’s Denver Broncos, and he’s likely getting his first NFL start today.
Estime has had a rocky start in Denver. He fumbled on his first NFL carry, though Denver retained possession. He injured his ankle on his second carry and missed four games.
Denver coaches trusted Estime enough to give him the ball five times on a potential game-winning drive against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. The Broncos lost when a field goal was blocked.
Now, it appears he will be RB1 for the Broncos this week.
Estime rushed for 2,321 yards in three seasons at Notre Dame, including 1,341 in 2023. He had 29 rushing touchdowns and 26 receiving touchdowns.

Notre Dame’s Jack Kiser has very noteworthy achievement.
Notre Dame linebacker [autotag]Jack Kiser[/autotag] has earned a very cool honor.
Kiser has now played the most games for the Irish in school history.
The sixth-year man played in his 63rd game on Senior Day against Virginia on Saturday.
He surpassed safety/special teams player [autotag]Houston Griffin[/autotag] (2018-2022) for the honor.
Kiser wouldn’t have the chance to play so many games for the Irish if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t led the NCAA to offer extended eligibility.
One of the neater things about this is that Kiser played with [autotag]Kurt Hinish[/autotag], who had 61 games for the Irish before his career ended, and is now playing with Kurt’s brother Donovan.
“Jack is special to me,” Notre Dame coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] told the South Bend Tribune this week. “He’s the only player in this program I actually got a chance to coach as his position coach.”
“(Kiser) is truly a Notre Dame man,” Freeman said. “He grew up here in Indiana. He reached his full potential. He’s been an unbelievable leader. He’s made this place better. And he’s going to leave this place better than he found it.”

Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love has two touchdowns today.
Running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] had a short touchdown run early in the first half for the No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish against the Virginia Cavaliers.
Love’s first touchdown run was just four yards. His second? A 76-yarder that capped off a 3-play, 88-yard drive that took 1:21 off the clock.
At the time, the run with 9:38 to go in the third quarter gave the Irish a 35-0 lead. Virginia has since finally gotten on the board to make it 35-7.

He already had a fumble recovery today, and now safety [autotag]Xavier Watts[/autotag] had an interception for the No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish against the Virginia Cavaliers.
Watts picked off an Anthony Colandrea pass shortly before halftime. The Irish didn’t cash a turnover in for points this time — the Irish instead missed a field-goal attempt badly.
Still, Watts’ pick put a stamp on a dominant first half for the Irish – especially the Irish defense.

No. 8 Notre Dame spent the end of the first half taking the ball away from the Virginia Cavaliers, and the Fighting Irish also scored off of those turnovers.
After [autotag]Leonard Moore [/autotag] took the ball away from Virginia, tight [autotag]Mitchell Evans[/autotag] caught a pass from Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] and dove into the end zone for a 16-yard score.
That capped a 3-play, 32-yard drive that took 34 seconds off the clock.
The touchdown gave the Irish a 28-0 lead late in the second quarter.

Notre Dame continues to take the ball away against Virginia. The thief this time? Leonard Moore.
No. 8 Notre Dame feasted off of Virginia turnovers in the first half as the Fighting Irish host the Cavaliers.
Add freshman cornerback [autotag]Leonard Moore[/autotag] to the list of ball thieves after he picked off an Anthony Colandrea pass with 1:35 left in the first half.
Moore made an athletic play, juggling a batted ball and bringing it in for the interception.
After a slow start to the game for both offenses, the Notre Dame offense has taken advantage of the turnovers caused by the Irish defense.

You’d think that with the No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish having first-and-goal at the Virginia Cavaliers’ 2-yard line, the Irish would choose to have quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] run it in.
Instead, Leonard pulled the ball away from a handoff and found a wide-open [autotag]Cooper Flanagan[/autotag]. The tight end easily hauled the pass in to finish the 1-play, 2-yard drive
Notre Dame’s offense started slow against Virginia, but it is taking advantage of Cavalier turnovers to get itself going.
The touchdown, for example, came after a Notre Dame interception.
