Bye week snapshot: Running Backs

When Tarean Folston went down on his third carry of the season, few expected a position with zero career running back carries to become one of the most dominant offensive weapons in Notre Dame history.

But C.J. Prosise was the next man in. And after making the transition to the backfield during spring practice, Prosise became Notre Dame’s feature back, with Folston out, Greg Bryant transferred and only freshman Josh Adams and Dexter Williams left.

During his first seven games at the position, Prosise has used his game-breaking speed and surprising power to make himself one of the nation’s top weapons.
