For the first time in the Brian Kelly era the Irish had a potent rushing attack in 2015. Many Irish fans and most experts probably didn’t see it coming because of the loss of Greg Bryant and the early season injury to Tarean Folston. But Kelly remained committed to the run and the Irish cracked the 200 yards per game plateau for first time since he arrived in 2010. The run game did regress late in the season, but most of that was due to the injuries to C.J. Prosise and the defenses they played. In the college game especially, is it imperative to have a good ground attack.
