After watching (and at times rewatching) all of the Notre Dame games this season here are a few keys to a Cardinal victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
For a look at important Notre Dame players and key matchups check out Sean Levy's piece here.
Keys to beating the Notre Dame defense:
1. Get Christian McCaffrey (and others) the ball in space and into the second level
2. Handle the pressure from the defensive front
3. Create plays with Kevin Hogan's legs
The Notre Dame defense on the back end is prone to giving up big plays.
