Starting Right Guard: Josh Lugg

Starting Righ Tackle: Blake Fisher

Backup: Tosh Baker

This is going to be one of the strengths of the Notre Dame team. They are going to return all of their starters from a year ago and make it one of the best offensive lines in the country. The one area of concern might be that right guard Josh Lugg is coming back from an injury. Other than that, Notre Dame appears to have a monster front five.

Joe Alt might have not been the highest-rated tackle coming out of high school, but he has developed into a really nice player for the Fighting Irish. Left guard Andrew Kristofic has developed into a really solid starter for the Fighting Irish and should be an anchor for the line.

Like Alt, center  Jarrett Patterson was not the highest-rated offensive lineman coming out but has become a good player for Notre Dame. That shows how well the Fighting Irish develop linemen. Josh Lugg is coming off of an injury but is hoping to pick up where he was before he was injured. Blake Fisher is going to anchor the right side of the line.

Notre Dame did a nice job of pulling in some talented offensive linemen in this recruiting class. Those guys will serve as backups this season before taking over in the future.
