Notre Dame Football: How the Irish Can Maximize Jeremiyah Love's Skills

Multiple running back sets

Two-back sets used to be a staple in college football, but that has become less the case in the modern era of college football. Despite the loss of Kedron Young due to injury, the Irish still have a very capable group of backs behind Love that can contribute, such as JD Price and Aneyas Williams.

To confuse defenses and make them wonder who's doing what and where they're going, the Irish could use multiple back sets to try to set up favorable matchups for Love and or to provide him extra blocking or a decoy back to draw attention away from the Irish star.

Mike Denbrock is an expert at creating favorable matchups and mismatches, and this could be a great way to isolate Love with the ball in his hand.

Offensive line play

Aside from the new quarterback and the learning curve that will come with him, the Notre Dame offensive line is a key part in making this offense click and allowing Love to flourish to his maximum capabilities.

There is no time for this group to "gel" as the season moves along; they must be stout to beat Miami and Texas A&M to start the season.

If this group holds up and the new quarterback holds his own, the sky is the limit for the Irish offense and Jeremiyah Love.

I trust Mike Denbrock to put this offense in a position to succeed; it'll be on the players to deliver the goods.
