Finishing Better Is The Next Step For The Notre Dame D-Line
Mike Elston has had two stints as the defensive line coach at Notre Dame. His unit helped fuel the team’s 2012 run to the BCS Championship game, but the last two seasons have seen the Irish defensive line take its game to a whole new level.
