CFP Showdown: Will Notre Dame’s Underdog Spirit Topple Ohio State’s Empire?
But Mills is out for the year with an injury suffered in Notre Dame’s first-round win over Indiana. That’s Notre Dame’s team leader in pressures (35), adjusted sacks (11), and run disruption rate (15.4%) watching the action in street clothes. Cross was hurt at the end of the regular season and has returned to give the Irish important help, but he may not be at full strength either.
Ohio State’s run game was not dominant against Texas, averaging 4.5 sack-adjusted yards per carry. That allowed the Longhorns get uncomfortably close to Will Howard, who took two sacks. Texas probably has the best defensive tackles in the country, though, certainly a scarier group on paper than Notre Dame’s injured lineup.
