Any time Notre Dame enters a season with an experienced offensive line, it’s like a nice warm blanket that covers everything. Yeah, there are always questions other places that need to be addressed, but when line has something like 100 career starts coming back, it acts as a cover for everything else.
There is no warm and fuzzy feeling heading into 2021, unfortunately. Gone are three year starters Liam Eichenberg and Aaron Banks, and four year starters Tommy Kraemer and Robert Hainsey. That quartet won a bunch of games together, were the centerpiece to the team in 2020, and are now all gone.
