Notre Dame needs to find production wherever it can right now, and [autotag]Michael Mayer[/autotag] is about as reliable as it gets. In fact, you could go so far as to say that [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag] is relying on Mayer to a fault. Still, you can’t argue with the fact that the Irish are getting production from any of their offensive skills players that seems very hard to come by at the moment. Sometimes, you can’t afford to be picky.
UNLV’s representative in this matchup is Ricky White, a transfer from Michigan State. While he doesn’t quite have the same number of touchdowns or as high of a receiving yards average as Mayer, he has been more efficient at getting yards in general. Really though, there isn’t a whole lot to separate these two from each other, at least on the stats sheet. It will be very interesting to see if either can stand out in this game.
