John Kennedy’s analysis of Notre Dame’s keys to defeating Penn State in a high-stakes CFP showdown.
Defensively, Al Golden's unit has a couple of key objectives to slow down Penn State's offense. Priority number one is to slow down the Nittany Lions run game, something the Irish did a great job of against Georgia, allowing the dogs under 70 yards rushing.
Secondly, Notre Dame cannot let the "do it all" 6'6 tight-end beast Tyler Warren get loose up the seam or across the middle of the field. He must be accounted for at all times. Additionally, it will likely take more than the 90-yard passing Notre Dame had against Georgia to get this win. Jordan Faison is a natural playmaker, I'd like to see him get some chances to stretch the field and be a hero in this game.Notre Dame is a beat-up team injury-wise that has been counted out every week since early September.
