Notre Dame’s offense is finally back to full strength this weekend – or at least as close to full strength as it will be in 2019 without Kevin Austin – thanks to the return of Jafar Armstrong. Notre Dame’s RB1 has played just one series of football this year thanks for an abdomen injury suffered in the season-opener. He is set to return to action this week against USC, but what impact he’ll be able to have remains to be seen.
Earlier this week, Brian Kelly said that he expects Armstrong to be available for about 20 plays and not to expect him to assume primary back responsibilities in his first action in over a month.
