Notre Dame Football Spotlight: Top 5 Rushers In School History

Josh Adams made some noise in the Heisman race last season. He also carved out a place in the Notre Dame football record books.

In light of the season inching closer, we take a look at the top five statistical running backs in Notre Dame football history, and see how Adams fits into that mix.

1. Autry Denson (1995 – 1998)

4318 yards, AVG. 5.1, 43 rushing touchdowns

Does the name sound familiar? It should. After spending his time breaking records for Notre Dame as their running back, he spent some time in the NFL.
