Notre Dame vs Rice Triple Option | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame faces Rice this Saturday in a high-stakes showdown against a rare triple-option offense that’s still deadly despite the spread-era trend. Rice’s shotgun-heavy attack, led by fifth-year QB Jacurri Brown, racked up 458 yards in their opener — and they’ve studied Notre Dame’s past struggles defending it against Army and Navy. Notre Dame linebacker Jaiden Ausberry says he’s more prepared now, but the transition from Wisconsin’s conventional offense is tough. Both teams are missing key players — Rice’s top rusher Quinton Jackson, Notre Dame’s safety Brauntae Johnson and DT Jason Onye — yet Notre Dame’s C.J. Carr proved he can lead under pressure. With a history of home-field woes and Rice hungry for an upset, this could be a wild one. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
