F
or the Notre Dame offense, the
2015 season served as a break-
through campaign. After years
of inconsistency with the ground at-
tack, the Fighting Irish put together
one of their best statistical perfor-
mances in a couple of decades.
• Notre Dame had its best points-
per-game average (34.2) since 2005,
and set school records with 6,063
yards of total offense and 7.0 yards
per play. The Irish were fueled by
big plays, led by wide receiver Will
Fuller, who was chosen in the first
round of the NFL Draft by the Hous-
ton Texans.
• Success on the ground was also
historic. Notre Dame had its most
yards per game (207.6) since the 2000
season.
The return of senior Tarean Folston will help the Irish rushing attack become far more efficient.
