Notre Dame junior Avery Davis is a case study in perseverance. He joined the Irish in 2017 as a dual-threat quarterback, then through attrition and position competition was moved to running back in 2018, then to cornerback to start this season before injuries brought him back to running back. Davis scored some credibility, and his first collegiate touchdown, last weekend to give the seventh-ranked Irish a boost heading to a showdown at No. 3 Georgia. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio, File)
