Notre Dame football has been inconsistent (to put it nicely) when trying to move the football on offense to start the season. At Louisville, the Irish got off to a fast start, but struggled at different times when trying to put their foot on the accelerator to pull away.
Against New Mexico, the Irish abandoned the run in order to hit on big plays to take advantage of a weak defense.
But the Irish needed it all together to succeed against Georgia, and frankly, that didn’t happen. Against the Bulldogs, the Irish were able to muster only a meager 46 yards on the ground, and that’s even considering that Ian Book was not sacked.
