Notre Dame lost their top running back, wide receiver, and tight end following the 2018 12-1 season. Those three players accounted for 2,360 all-purpose yards, 111 receptions, and 24 total touchdowns. The cupboard is not bare, however, with replacements Jafar Armstrong, Chase Claypool, and Cole Kmet ready to step in and fill the voids created by their departed teammates.
For their part last season, that trio accounted for 1,363 all-purpose yards, 79 receptions, and 11 touchdowns. They are far from novices and there is ample reason to believe all three are ready for a starring role this season.
