Notre Dame may seem unproven and inexperienced atop the running back depth chart, but the reality is the Irish return more production among their top two running backs than they did even a year ago. Nonetheless, Notre Dame averaged 193.46 rushing yards per game last season (sacks adjusted). Keeping that in mind should mitigate concerns about junior Jafar Armstrong and senior Tony Jones, the leading duo in some order.
Spring roster:
— Armstrong, a former receiver with one injury-hampered season at running back under his belt.
— Jones, trusted by the Irish coaching staff in all facets of the position.
