Notre Dame faces major test as freshman steps in for Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa injury

As Notre Dame football heads into its final game of the season and prepares for an at-large bid to the College Football Playoffs, Chris Ash's unit knows it has to prepare without one of its best defenders. Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa is out for the year, and in his place, Madden Faraimo will be the first man up.

While the freshman will likely share time with sophomore Kahanu Kia, Faraimo is expected to be "the guy" for the most part against Stanford. The good news is that he's saying all the right things about being ready to go.
