Jafar Armstrong Can Be An X-Factor for Notre Dame in Cotton Bowl

The month off between playing USC and Clemson might not do anyone on the Notre Dame offense more good than converted running back Jafar Armstrong. Thrust into the starting lineup after transitioning from receiver in the spring due to the suspension of Dexter Williams and a slew of postseason departures, Armstrong started the season off on fire. A few weeks into the season though, injuries popped up and he was never quite the same in the regular season. Now rested, he could be an x-factor for the Irish offense this weekend.

Jafar Armstrong scored the first touchdown of the Irish for the Irish when he danced 13 yards in the endzone virtually untouched.
