It’s only September and the sample sizes are small, but still worth noting. Through three games, Notre Dame (2-1) has the No. 5 rushing offense in the nation at 330.7 yards per game. Michigan State (2-0), in two games, ranks 17th nationally in rush defense at 91.5 yards per game. A winner in the matchup of strength versus strength will be determined when the Fighting Irish visit East Lansing on Saturday (8 p.m., FOX) for the rivalry matchup at Spartan Stadium.
