www.BLUEANDGOLD.com JANUARY 2021 31 familiar ones he has played with the last four years. Sitting at a podium next to sopho- more running back Kyren Williams and freshman tight end Michael Mayer, Hainsey turned to each and poured out praise for their season-long contributions that helped Notre Dame reach the College Football Playoff. "Kyren, your tenacity and the way you play, it was some of the most fun I've had playing football," Hainsey said. "And, Mike, seeing you step in as a young guy, I did the same thing. It was a blast, and seeing you excel and do that stuff is what made this season so much fun. So, thank you guys for being there and doing that." Notre Dame leaned on both of them against Alabama. Williams, the offense's workhorse all year, had 16 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. He also chipped in a career-high eight catches for 31 yards. Mayer had 62 yards on seven catches, adding to the most productive freshman season by a Notre Dame tight end in history. And wanting to involve his speed, Notre Dame gave freshman running back Chris Tyree some early work. He touched the ball nine times, and the highlight was a 27-yard reception on a screen pass.
