cess of the rushing attack. The Irish
have a line that now has 88 career
starts, and it has been able to de-
velop far greater cohesion than it did
a season ago when Notre Dame was
forced to reshuffle the group after
three games. No player has stood out
thus far, but as a group the line has
excelled.
"We are playing pretty consistent,"
fifth-year senior center Nick Martin
noted. "It's better to go five-for-five
than to have one guy dominating.
When you have all five doing well
you're going to play well."
