In a resurgent year for the running game, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish had two players that stood above the rest as the driving force... Mike McGlinchey and Quenton Nelson. The pair that shared a fist bump before each snap and led the way on the ground, now share first team AP All-American honors.
I know... that last sentence is entirely unoriginal. Honestly, I’m having a hard time finding the words and a hard time trying to understand how the season ended on such a disappointment with these two giants leading the way.
