The Notre Dame Fansided website published an article previewing the Sept. 1st Michigan – ND matchup in South Bend. Not only do they think that the Irish will win 31-17, but they think ND will rush for over 250-yards:
This one might be a little bold, but I wouldn’t be shocked if the Irish ground and pound for over 270 yards vs. Michigan. The Wolverines had a Top-20 rush defense last season and return defensive lineman Rashan Gary, but lost All-American defensive tackle Maurice Hurst. My confidence in the Irish offensive line and running back committee outweighs my skepticism that Michigan will have the talent to stop the run.
Former Michigan player Corey Malone-Hatcher on the upcoming matchup:
I’d be atounded if they rush for 130 yards. https://t.co/AJo3bhvD8Z
