Irish Ground Attack Has The Weapons to Lead Team to College Football Playoff

Following their 52-0 victory yesterday over the South Florida Bulls, Notre Dame concludes the second week of the season with a 2-0 record. While the teams the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have faced are hardly among the upper echelon of the sport, an identity is beginning to form for the 2020 team. I believe one thing has become abundantly clear, the Irish are going to need to ride their potent ground game if they hope to make a run at the College Football Playoff. While almost every playoff participant in recent memory has had a difference-maker at the quarterback position, the Irish are going to need to be comfortable with being an outlier, similar to a 2015 Alabama.
