Ja’Juan Seider seeks confidence boost for Notre Dame running backs

Notre Dame running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider aims for his players to overcome performance pressure. With the exit of first-round picks Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, Aneyas Williams has struggled, recording 119 yards on 29 carries this season. Seider advised Williams to focus on his own game rather than trying to meet expectations. Freshman Jonaz Walton is expected to have a role against Michigan State on Saturday, although not as a starter. Notre Dame's strategy may involve enhancing their passing game against the Spartans' defense, while balancing the run.
