Friday\u2019s should be for fullbacks and fullbacks make the triple option work. Here is your Black C 31 Trap Option play for today\u2019s Notre Dame football news.<\/p>\n

MOCK DRAFTS ARE OUT OF CONTROL<\/p>\n

The closer and closer we get to the first round of the NFL Draft, the more diabolical the conversation that surrounds the draft becomes. For a player like Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love<\/a>, things are all over the map. Despite a great deal of focus on Love\u2019s potential landing spot has become Tennessee<\/a>, that\u2019s not stopping mock drafts and the conversations around them turning into an exercise of \u201chow dumb can we make this look?\u201d.<\/p>\n

BRING IT IN AND MAKE IT TIGHT<\/p>\n

With so much of the Notre Dame focus concerning the NFL Draft being on Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price<\/a>, we kind of lose sight of the potential of 6 or 7 Fighting Irish<\/a> players being drafted. One of those potential players is tight end, Eli Raridon<\/a>. Here\u2019s a nice spotlight on him.<\/p>\n

A RANKED WIN IS A RANKED WIN<\/p>\n

The Irish enjoy a sinister reputation from opposing fans about their schedule every year, and yet\u2026 since 2014 Notre Dame has the 6th most amount of ranked wins. (Alabama<\/a>\u2019s total is absurd by the way). It\u2019s kind of hard to have BOTH the weakest college football schedule in the country year in and year out while racking up a good amount of ranked wins. Yes \u2014 that was sarcasm.<\/p>\n
