Blue & Gold Illustrated: America's Foremost Authority on Notre Dame Football
Issue link: https://comanpub.uberflip.com/i/890623
28 OCT. 30, 2017 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED Obviously, we want to take away what the defense wants to do to us. "If you do that you're going to have a chance to move the ball." The week prior to taking on USC, McGlinchey and senior left guard Quenton Nelson were named first- team Mid-Season All-Americans by Sports Illustrated. McGlinchey and Nel- son certainly deserve a lot of credit, but if all five players aren't executing at a high level it wouldn't matter how good the left side of the line played. "Those guys have been great all year," McGlinchey said of his line mates. "Obviously Q and I have gotten a lot of the focus, but Sam [Mustipher], Alex [Bars], Tommy [Kraemer] and Robert [Hainsey] all do a great job each and every day. "It's about, up front, being five for five. The more we're five for five on our assignments, the better chance Notre Dame has to win." Adams put the game away with an 84-yard touchdown run in the third- quarter to make it a 42-14 late in the third quarter. He didn't cut that play behind his two All-Americans. Instead, he ran behind Bars and Hainsey. ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
