When Notre Dame kicks off against North Carolina in about an hour, the Fighting Irish will be without two key players from their two-deep. Backup safety Ramon Henderson, whose been one of their best blitzers, and backup tight end Kevin Bauman are out with injuries, according to the University.
Ramon Henderson is listed as a backup but has played plenty for Notre Dame this season. He has just 8 tackles and 0.5 sacks officially, but he’s been developing into one of Notre Dame’s best blitzers from the secondary over the first three weeks. Last week against Cal, Henderson played 25 snaps after registering just six in the loss to Marshall.
