Notre Dame improved to 8-1 on the season yesterday with an uneven performance against Wake Forest. The Irish offense didn’t miss much of a beat despite star running back Josh Adams getting injured and registering just five carries, but the Irish defense sprung leaks for the first time this season. Notre Dame prevailed 48-37 though in large part due to these four players.
1. Brandon Wimbush
He is close guys, he is really close. Brandon Wimbush took another step forward this week in his development as a passer. He set a career high with 280 yards on 15 of 30 passing with a long touchdown to Chase Claypool.
