    NOTRE DAME OFFENSE

    Image

    *** There were no changes to the Notre Dame offensive depth chart.

    *** Although Styles Prescod is listed as the No. 2 left tackle, when Anthonie Knapp went down for a play against Purdue the staff moved Guerby Lambert to left tackle and put Sullivan Absher in the game at right guard.

    NOTRE DAME DEFENSE

    *** Starting cornerback Leonard Moore and starting nickel DeVonta Smith are both listed as questionable with right ankle injuries. Both players missed the win over Purdue.

    *** Tae Johnson is now listed as the starting field safety with Adon Shuler returning to the starting lineup. Johnson started there last week with Shuler out, and the field starter the first two games - Jalen Stroman - started in place of Shuler. Stroman is now listed as the No. 2 field safety.

    *** Freshman Dallas Golden is now listed as the backup nickel. Golden started at Nickel against Purdue with DeVonta Smith out with an injury. The previous backup nickel - Karson Hobbs - is now listed as the third boundary corner.

    *** Freshman JaDon Blair is now listed as the No. 3 field safety.

    *** The front seven depth chart remains unchanged, although we saw a lot more freshman linebacker Madden Faraimo in this game.

    NOTRE DAME SPECIAL TEAMS

    *** The special teams depth chart remains unchanged, but placekicker Noah Burnette is listed as questionable for this game. Burnette missed the Purdue win and was replaced by freshman Erik Schmidt.
