No. 4 Notre Dame rules out LB Bowen (ankle) vs. No. 1 Miami
An injured right ankle will keep Notre Dame starting linebacker Drayk Bowen out of Saturday's big showdown between the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish and No. 1 Miami.
The announcement came Monday when Notre Dame released its injury report, which also lists defensive linemen Francis Brewu and Jason Onye as questionable with knee injuries, while defensive backs Brauntae Johnson and DJ McKinney remain out after suffering injuries in the season opener against Wisconsin.
Bowen has been a key player on the defense not just because of his stats but because he also wears the radio helmet that allows him to relay the defensive coordinator's play calls from the sideline to his teammates on the field.
