As Notre Dame gets back into a somewhat normal swing of things following last week’s outbreak of COVID in the football program, the Irish got some really good injury news this week as well. Presumptive #1 wide receiver Kevin Austin is on schedule to be available for next weekend’s game with Florida State.
Notre Dame has been missing Austin since before fall camp after he underwent foot surgery on July 29 and his absence has been felt in the Irish passing game. Notre Dame’s passing attack just hasn’t hit on all cylinders just yet despite playing a couple of weak defenses.
