To say that Notre Dame’s 2022 offensive line is beginning from scratch is a gross overstatement. Every projected first-stringer has multiple games of starting experience for the Irish, some at more than one position. But the reality is that last year’s unit failed to produce anything of substance in the run game against quality competition. That fact was painfully apparent in a Fiesta Bowl where the Irish threw 68 passes and rushed for just 42 yards.
So it’s back to the drawing board from a run-blocking perspective, and that starts with the interior offensive linemen.
