With Notre Dame preparing for Saturday’s Senior Day game against Wake Forest, there have been a few people wondering whether junior wide receiver Will Fuller will also be playing his final game in South Bend.
The loss of Cage forced Notre Dame to mix around the line, and the results were not always what Kelly wanted.
The one character that Wake Forest will not see is running back C.J.
“You know, when you’re going from drive to drive, it kind of bothers you that you are not out there with the momentum you typically have”, Irish quarterback DeShone Kizer said.

However, just when it looked as though Prosise had found his calling as Notre Dame’s lead back, the senior went down in the first quarter of Saturday’s victory over Pittsburgh with what’s since been referred to as an “upper body” injury. “Last year we were not very good, in a lot of ways not competitive”. “We can’t have nine guys have good games and two guys not”. “We were going to roll coverage to him and not let him get over our heads”. Freshman Josh Adams, who is filling in for Prosise, just broke off a 98-yard touchdown run to put the No. 4 Irish up 21-0 on Wake Forest. Adams was outstanding last weekend against Pitt. It tied an NCAA record for longest run by a freshman and was the longest play in the nation all season from scrimmage.
Nasty stiff-arm there too from Adams.
Both teams took similar routes to the championship game.
