28 SEPT. 24, 2022 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED "We did run the four same plays," Es- time said, "But if it works, don't stop." The Irish didn't try to hide their in- tentions. For the first time this season, their offensive line was winning the line of scrimmage. Estime uncorked a 14-yard run earlier in the third quarter, tying the team's longest from a running back this year. In response, Notre Dame sent out the heavy formation for a first-and-10 at Cal's 14-yard line immediately follow- ing a targeting penalty that put the Irish in the red zone. Three tight ends, one on each side of the tackles and another right behind the left tackle. It screams run, even with 6-6, 245-pound freshman and potential re- ceiving mismatch Eli Raridon in as the third right end. More than anything, it screams trust in the rushing operation from the coaching staff. Notre Dame's offensive line hadn't given much reason to trust it during the Irish's 0-2 start.
