We have hit the stretch where every game (on paper) is very winnable. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a very legitimate shot at the College Football Playoffs, and a clear path to get there.
What may get lost in the path to the playoffs are the players that are going to need to elevate their games. I am not talking about Julian Love, Ian Book, or the Miles Boykin type of players, but some who have not solidified themselves as, “go to players” or “playmakers”. I am going to limit this to skill position players, as the Defensive line has a wealth of playmakers, and the entire Offensive line needs some growth.
