The identity of the Notre Dame football team in 2017 was very much tied to the team’s elite rushing attack. It was simple, really. When all else failed, the run game worked. When the run game didn’t work, the Irish lost.
Heading into 2018 and according to what we’ve seen and heard in the Spring, it looks like Notre Dame’s offense might be slightly more balanced that what we’ve seen recently.
The offensive line seems to be making strides as they work to find a solid five-man unit in the wake of losing Quenton Nelson and McGlinchey.
