Notre Dame struggles with rushing game efficiency after Week 3

Notre Dame continues to face challenges in its rushing game as the Fighting Irish are currently ranked 86th in team yards per carry at 3.6. Despite a 27-10 victory over Michigan State, their run game remains an area of concern. Sophomore running back Nolan James Jr. achieved 121 yards against Michigan State, but the team has yet to register a 20-yard rush this season. Only Arkansas shares this lack of significant rushing production, with both teams struggling to establish ground effectiveness. Notre Dame, now 3-0, will seek improvement in upcoming games, especially with its reliance on a strong passing game led by CJ Carr.
