The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a bit of a problem at running back for the 2019 season. Since at least 2015, the Irish had a “home run threat” in the backfield. C.J. Prosise, Josh Adams, and Dexter Williams consistently provided Notre Dame with speed and the ability to strike from any distance while running the football.
That doesn’t appear to be the case in 2019. While Jafar Armstrong possesses very good speed, he has still lacked that “burst” we saw from the other three backs I mentioned. Armstrong made the switch to running back from wide receiver just like C.
