Notre Dame’s roster is stacked, but they do have to replace a generational backfield in running backs Jadarian Price and Jeremiyah Love.
The key player to take that leap to RB1 has been Aneyas Williams. Of course, it’s going to take more than Aneyas Williams to replace Price and Love — and Marcus Freeman said as much on a show with Greg McElroy. “You’re not going to replace Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price with one guy, right?
” Freeman said. “You can’t do that. You might not ever find another duo like that, but how do we replace the production?
A couple of those guys are injured, right? “Aneyas will be limited in the spring. ” Oh… Williams is limited.
