The Hidden Flaws That Could Shatter College Football’s 2024 Championship Dreams
Notre Dame’s Offensive Tackles
The Fighting Irish had seven players selected in the NFL Draft off last year’s team, and the first two played on either end of the offensive line. Left tackle Joe Alt and right tackle Blake Fisher were the No. 5 and 59 overall picks, respectively.
In their absence, Marcus Freeman and new offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock will either need to develop good new tackles or build an offense around more-limited bookends.
Alt was an absolute stud. In 243 pass protection snaps, he allowed three pressures, two knockdowns and one hurry. He also allowed just a 5.3% run disruption rate, the lowest on the team. On 322 run-blocking snaps, Alt’s man blew up the play just 17 times.
