Notre Dame headed into Death Valley this past Saturday looking to rely on their experienced and talented offensive line, but were greeted with a defense looking to sell out and do everything they could to make first-time road starter Deshone Kizer beat them through the air. Today we will take a look at why the Irish struggled with running the ball early and discuss the adjustments that were made. We will also take a look at the controversial final play call and find out what went wrong.
