Kyren Williams enters Notre Dame’s meeting with Syracuse looking a little more like himself. After an impressive outing against North Carolina, his rushing average is back at the century mark. With a weaker opponent on the docket, he should reach 1,000 rushing yards for the season on his home field. Also, he’ll have plenty of chances to showcase why he can be just as dangerous as a receiver as he is a running back.
Sean Tucker probably would have more success this season if he wasn’t stuck in a weak Orange offense. The yards he’s averaging on both carries and catches indicate that he can be of value to any team in the country. Alas, he has not been given ample opportunity to show how much of a difference he can make in a college football game. If the Orange don’t pull off the upset in South Bend, he won’t be the reason why.
