The Notre Dame football rushing attack gained national noteriety during the 2017 season. A lot of that had to do with the elite play of the offensive line and the holes they opened. Hitting those holes and exploding through them before moving through the secondary with breakway speed was running back Josh Adams.
Adams was a serious Heisman candidate for most of last season. He’s a big back who excels between the tackles and is better there than he is racing defenders to the sideline. His size and momentum allow him to break tackles without breaking stride.
