Notre Dame vs Army: 5 Things We Learned in Blowout Win

4. Notre Dame’s rushing attack can come from anywhere

With three players rushing over 70 yards against Army, the Irish proved this is a backfield by committee, and none of them are weak-link.

Josh Adams (15 carries, 70 yards, 1 TD), Tarean Folston (13 carries, 84 yards, 1 TD), and DeShone Kizer (7 carries, 72 yards) all proved their worth running the ball, combining for 226 yards and two touchdowns. All season, Adams has been the workhorse in the backfield with Folston playing the secondary role. We may see a more even split during these last few games.

With the constant threat of Kizer throwing or passing, defenses always have their eye on the backfield against Notre Dame. That didn’t seem to matter this week. No matter who touched the ball, the outcome appeared to end in Notre Dame’s favor.

With Week 12 opponent, Virginia Tech, allowing 144.1 yards per game against the run, the Irish could be in for consecutive big performances on the ground.
