Asmar Bilal Named To Pro Football Focus Team Of The Week

Notre Dame fifth-year senior linebacker Asmar Bilal continued his strong final season Saturday night during the team's 38-7 victory at Duke.

Bilal finished the game with five tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. He made plays against the run, was good in space, thrived in coverage and attacked the backfield in the pass game.

Here is what PFF wrote about his performance:

The man in the middle for the Fighting Irish, Bilal was dominant in all facets for Notre Dame in their win against Duke. He recorded a QB hit, five total tackles without a miss and didn’t allow a catch into his coverage. He spent double-digit snaps in all facets and put forth great grades, leading the team in overall grade while finishing with elite grades in run defense.

This is the second straight week that a Notre Dame defender made the PFF Team of the Week list. Last week it was freshman safety Kyle Hamilton.
