Capitalizing on a Strong Run Game

Notre Dame's Post Passes

Notre Dame averaged 5.69 yards per carry in 2025, ranking 3rd in the FBS. With a strong run game like that, safeties will start cheating down into the box to help stop the run. OC Mike Denbrock did a great job of taking advantage of this and dialing up shots over the top at the right times. They averaged 9.5 yards per pass, which ranked 2nd in the FBS. Denbrock specifically used Skinny Posts, Slot Posts, and Mills concepts to capitalize on a strong run game. These concepts averaged 14 yards per attempt!

The video below is a 60 second cutup of Skinny Posts, Slot Posts, and Mills concepts. The receivers do a great job of stepping on toes, finding grass, and hitting explosive plays over the safeties worried about the run.
