Notre Dame’s rushing attack is getting even deeper, and Nolan James might be the key weapon as the Irish chase a national championship. After Jonas Walton’s explosive 181-yard, two-touchdown performance, the spotlight is shifting to James, who racked up 73 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries against Stanford. With Notre Dame’s offense showcasing over 600 yards, can opponents afford to focus on just one running back?
BYU’s defense just stifled Iowa State, so Notre Dame needs every edge, including a fresh backfield rotation. Mixing in James alongside Walton and Williams creates different looks, keeps defenders guessing, and maintains the offense’s physicality late in games. Will the Irish stick with the hot hand and keep their playoff hopes alive?
