2. Kyren Williams is the difference-maker

In a game, where offense was very limited, it was Kyren Williams’s rushing behind Notre Dame’s dominant offensive line was the difference. The Irish fed Williams early and often.

Notre Dame played this game exactly how they would normally want to play a game. With dominating the trenches.

Williams is coming off a big game against Florida State, as he rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns in their win. Although Williams wasn’t explosive, it was enough to keep the chains going and waste enough clock.

Williams would finish this game with 127 yards on 25 carries, good for 5.1 yards per attempt.
