IRISH & OPPOSITION DEPTH CHARTS: Notre Dame vs. Wake Forest – Dual-Column Depth Charts
[click here to jump directly to depth charts]
Notre Dame and Wake Forest depth charts follow below in a responsive layout, with parallel dual columns on a regular desktop or laptop view; with smaller screens, columns might jump down and stack up. Keep in mind that Brian Kelly sometimes features extensive rotation at some positions. This year, right tackle, especially, is a shared position. … Alizé Mack is still listed at tight end, even though he reportedly is out with a concussion. … There has been some minor reshuffling at wide receiver for Notre Dame …. Notre Dame has some size advantage, especially where their offensive line faces Wake’s defensive line (although, even within the same team, an offensive line often might be a bit bigger than their defensive counterparts ) …. However, Wake is still a moderately good-sized team, appropriate to a winning program from a power conference …. like Notre Dame, Wake has some decent height in the secondary …. Wake might be a bit small at tight end …. like Notre Dame, Wake does not have especially tall quarterbacks, except for a back-up … Notre Dame’s running backs are not necessarily quite as big or tall as during the power running days of the Lou Holtz era, yet they are getting closer …. while there is no Flanker position on the depth chart, one interesting feature to watch might be whether Brian Kelly and Chip Long can work any wide receivers into the running game ….
