SOUTH BEND — Chris Tyree and his explosive speed will be back at Notre Dame Stadium for Senior Day on Saturday, but the wide receiver/return specialist will be wearing a Virginia uniform instead of a gold helmet.
One of the rare Irish transfers in recent years to face his former team, Tyree ranks third on the Cavaliers with 22 receptions but those have totaled just 124 yards (5.6-yard average). After moving to
