Wisconsin has built a deep backfield led by Iowa State transfer Abu Sama III, along with Darrion Dupree and USC transfer Bryan Jackson, giving the Badgers multiple weapons capable of making plays on the ground. Notre Dame will need to control the line of scrimmage, limit explosive runs, and force Wisconsin to win the game through the air. Ryan examines the challenges posed by Abu Sama III, Bryan Jackson, and Darrion Dupree, and why stopping Wisconsin's rushing attack could be the most important factor in Notre Dame's season opener. We'll break down Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin, the Week 1 matchup, Notre Dame football, Wisconsin football, Abu Sama III, Darrion Dupree, Bryan Jackson, Notre Dame's run defense, and the biggest keys to victory for the Fighting Irish. Can Notre Dame shut down Wisconsin's running backs and avoid a Week 1 upset? #notredame #notredamefightingirish #notredamefootball
