Notre Dame’s running backs give all the credit for their success to their offensive line, while the Irish offensive line insists the backs make blocking easy.

Sophomore Kyren Williams and freshman Chris Tyree lead the charge, aided by junior C’Bo Flemister, behind a strong offensive line.
“The guys up front, they were being over-physical with the D-linemen, and they were able to create runs,” Williams said after the Duke game.
