It’s not getting any easier for Notre Dame as TE Kyle Rudolph is reported to be out for the Irish’s final three games as a result of suffering a shoulder injury during the loss to Navy.
This is a big hit for the offense because of Rudolph’s pass protection ability and his great hands. He is Clausen’s go-to guy and it shows as Rudolph is the second leading receiver on the team with 33 receptions and 3 TDs.
The Irish are certainly going to miss Rudolph down the stretch. Weis’ job is already in jeopardy, the loss of his star TE is only making things a lot harder for the ole ball coach.
Up next for Notre Dame, top ranked Pitt.
