It was just a glimpse, but it was very telling.
Notre Dame opened their season against Louisville with the glorious two back offense Chip Long has been wanting to run for the last two seasons and his entire life. Jafar Armstrong and Tony Jones took the field together, everything felt right, and six plays and 75 yards later, Notre Dame was in the end zone on their first possession. It was clinical, and it was efficient. And then it was gone.
Jafar Armstrong hurt his rectis abdominus muscle on the 4th play of the drive, played one more snap, and then we didn’t see him till some spot minutes two weeks ago against USC.
