Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame Football team hasn’t had the best luck retaining running backs. Last year’s starter, Heisman candidate Josh Adams, left for the NFL. Deon McIntosh and CJ Holmes were dismissed from the team for various reasons. And now, Dexter Williams seems to be headed to a suspension to start the year.
As the Irish have started camp at Culver Academy, Dexter Williams has seen less and less action with the first-team offense. Message boards and social media have played a large part in the speculation that his season will start on the bench. Further, Brian Kelly has been coy about Williams’ status ahead of the September 1st season-opener against Michigan.
