No. 7 Notre Dame smashed South Florida, 52-0, Saturday behind a punishing ground attack arguably led by its ... tight end. That's right. Redshirt-sophomore Tommy Tremble was key. Ian Book says there's no one better.
Cruising to a 35-0 halftime lead and pouring on more scoring while emptying its bench in the second half, Notre Dame ripped South Florida as coach Brian Kelly said he was "done being a nice guy."
Joe Wilkins Jr. hardly has had an easy path to Notre Dame and now onto the field for the Fighting Irish. Doesn't matter for the unflinching Florida native. Wilkins could again be key Saturday as No. 7 Notre Dame faces South Florida.
