No. 4 Notre Dame rules out LB Drayk Bowen (ankle) vs. No. 1 Miami
Notre Dame starting linebacker Drayk Bowen will miss Saturday's game against No. 1 Miami because of an injured right ankle. The absence comes before a matchup between the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish and the top-ranked Hurricanes.
Defensive linemen Francis Brewu and Jason Onye are questionable with knee injuries, while defensive backs Brauntae Johnson and DJ McKinney remain out after season-opening injuries against Wisconsin. Bowen leads Notre Dame with 45 tackles, but coach Marcus Freeman called coach-to-player communication a backup and downplayed the impact of losing the player who wears the radio helmet.
