Hear someone say they are hungover and you’ll assume they have a pounding headache, are physically exhausted and perhaps nauseous, all from enjoying too much whiskey the night before. And you may be right. But that is a narrow assumption about a hangover, far from the only version of it.
No. 11 Notre Dame (4-1) may be massively hungover this week as it heads to No. 17 Duke (4-0) at 7:30 ET on ABC. The Irish did not incur this hangover via whiskey. Physically, they are rather close to 100 percent — with the exception of junior receivers Jayden Thomas (hamstring) and Deion Colzie (knee scope) — partly a benefit of so much of the contributing roster being seniors and graduate students, thus enjoying the recovery and treatment perks of few classes on the schedule.
