BLUEGOLDONLINE.COM DECEMBER 2024 27 which is the most of any combination this season. If you ask them, though, they'd tell you it also comes from the culture in offensive line coach Joe Rudolph's room. "There's so much love," Knapp said earlier in the week. "There's so much love and so much we got each other's backs. … There's no gap between each other, if that makes sense. I think that's our biggest thing." During the second quarter, Schrauth hobbled off the field and had to visit the medical tent. Sophomore guard Sam Pendleton entered the offensive huddle in his place, only for Schrauth to re- emerge and go back in without missing a rep. When it appeared Pendleton would have to play, though, Spindler gave him a pop to the chest. In offensive line- speak, that means, "You got this, kid." Pendleton had taken Spindler's job out of fall camp before Spindler took it back during the season. On the field, that didn't matter. ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att.
