No. 5 Notre Dame: Defensive star power
Notre Dame loses standouts at all three levels, from All-America cornerback Julian Love to linebackers Drue Tranquill and Te'von Coney to disruptive lineman Jerry Tillery. Clark Lea took the unit from good to great in his first year as coordinator, but his toughest work lies ahead. Notre Dame's pass rush should be excellent with Khalid Kareem, Julian Okwara, Daelin Hayes and others, but there are potential trouble spots elsewhere. -- Adam Rittenberg
