www.BLUEANDGOLD.com OCT. 17, 2020 39 With the Seminoles weekend in the books, ex- pect Kelly and his Irish to rediscover a familiar practice rhythm and preparation routine. Advantage: Notre Dame INTANGIBLES Nothing was sneaky last season about the of- fense Satterfield and offensive coordinator Dwayne Ledford turned into the fourth-most productive in the ACC: Hand the ball to Hawkins, then pick your spots for downfield shots. The Cardinals were one of only seven Football Bowl Subdivision teams to average 10 yards per pass attempt in 2019 and they ranked third na- tionally in plays of at least 40 yards. Notre Dame has been effective at guarding against the big plays. Similar to the first-half struggles against Duke in this year's season opener, the Irish lumbered to a 21-14 halftime lead against Louisville in the 2019 season-opener before pulling away for a 35-17 win. Quick starts make a coach's life easier. Advantage: Notre Dame GAME PREVIEW: LOUISVILLE Offense Pos. No. Name Ht. Wt. Yr. QB 3 Malik Cunningham 6-1 195 R-Jr. 6 Evan Conley 6-2 215 So.
