3. Braden Lenzy scores a touchdown

Notre Dame’s passing game as of late has been really solid. The passing game is easy when you have a quarterback playing as well as Ian Book is at the moment. But it is going to get better with Braden Lenzy getting closer to 100 percent.

Lenzy played limited snaps against North Carolina, but did not have any receptions. Him coming back from a hamstring injury will just make the offense more dangerous than it already is right now.

Brian Kelly has come out and said that Lenzy should be in line for more action this week against Syracuse. He just brings another dimension to the Irish offense. The former track star really can get behind the defense and stretch the field overall.

Fully expect Ian Book and coordinator Tommy Rees to get Lenzy some touches to get his confidence going in the right direction. Would not be surprised to see Lenzy score his touchdown on a pass play over 50 yards as well.
