Big chunk plays. They are a key part of Brian Kelly’s offense, a unit that prides itself on eating up large chunks of yardage in both the running game and through the air.
The Irish have had their fair share of big playmakers. Receivers like Michael Floyd and TJ Jones. Tight end Tyler Eifert. Running back George Atkinson had big-play potential every time he touched the football.
But no Notre Dame football team has produced big plays at the rate of this 2015 offense. And through four games, the Irish have already set season-highs for the Kelly era, a trend the Irish coaching staff hopes continues through the next few critical weeks of the season.
