Notre Dame Offensive Line Takes Business-As-Usual Stance
Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly had a succinct summary about entering this weekend’s contest at No. 25-ranked North Carolina (6-2) without two of his starting offensive linemen. “We lose a couple of really good players and we plug them in with two equally fine players,” said Kelly during his weekly Monday conference. The two lost were junior center Jarrett Patterson, who suffered a foot injury against Boston College Nov. 14 that will sideline him the balance of this season and spring practice, and fifth-year senior right guard Tommy Kraemer, who underwent an emergency appendectomy during the bye week.
