Notre Dame’s Rushing Attack: The Best in College Football
After a rough start to the season with a loss to Northern Illinois, Notre Dame rebounded impressively, winning 10 straight games to finish the 2024 regular season. This strong finish has positioned them to host a playoff game, making them a formidable opponent as the postseason approaches.
A major factor in Notre Dame’s success has been their dominant rushing game. The team has been consistently impressive on the ground, with standout performances from Jeremiyah Love and the explosive playmaking of Jadarian Price.
According to a recent chart by Parker Fleming, Notre Dame boasts the most efficient rushing attack in college football this season. They lead in yards per carry on runs outside the tackles and are near the top for inside runs as well, making their rushing attack the most balanced in the FBS. Even without factoring in quarterback runs, the Irish’s rushing game remains elite.
Including quarterback runs (excluding scrambles), Notre Dame still ranks among the best, cementing their identity as a power-running team. While some fans may have concerns about the passing game, there’s no doubt that the Irish’s success on the ground is a key strength.
If Notre Dame makes a deep playoff run, it will be because of this rushing attack. Love, Price, and quarterback Riley Leonard will need to continue their dominant performances to carry the team through the postseason.
