Watched the game replay. Did not see JD even on the sideline. He must be pretty dinged up. Hope it’s not that serious.
JD Bertrand.
- Thread starter THUNDERSTRUCK111
- Start date
Concussion protocol. Hope he's ready for OSU, but if not 100% hold him out
Usually a few days thing. Should be ok for OSU. Maybe not CM.
He was in game mid third quarter. Not sure when it happened. Appears he will miss one game
MF said he was doing much better yesterday and expects him to be in the non contact drills on Tuesday. Devin Ford is a go for this Saturday.
I would not play JD this week instead give Sneed as many snaps as possible. He needs the game experience.

Rubio should be a go for the OSU game. He is 300lbs of muscle on the DL
If there is no need to play Bertrand this week, then sit him out. This will be another opportunity for the younger LB's to get some quality time in.
Didn't he have a minor surgery on his knee? Big man, longer rehab time is my guess.
Replacing the mental experience is the challenge. Bertrand has that in spades. But these young stallions got to get out of the barn as well.
I think Kiser slides into this spot. That should open up playing time for Sneed in particular.
It does but ND will be in base nickel D again vs CMU. CMU goes 3 wide a lot with a running QB. I'd expect a very similar game plan vs CMU as vs NC state with even more focus on the QB running. If you bottle the qb up and don't allow him to run, he'll throw some ducks out there up for grabs.
So, 2 lbs start (marist and kiser) and sneed is first lb in instead of 2nd lb in.
Yes they do, but…has he even played a snap yet? I thought he got hurt on special teams and missed time with concussion protocol, and hasn’t seen the field yet Other than on special teams. But if healthy and assignment ready, this should be a good game for gaining some experience. Hope we see Ausberry as well.
Nope
Notre Dame Snap Count Thoughts | Game One
A few thoughts on Notre Dame's snap counts from Saturday's season opener.
They love bowen but he got injured earlier and is working his way back
I think it's a 3 headed rotation first half, and then you'll see the fourth and fifth come in at some point.
We will be in nickel mostly. Short yardage they bring in extra DE instead of extra LB.
Exactly what I hoped for, which doesn’t happen all that often! Anxious to see these three in action assuming Marist and Kiser are taken out early and often against an inferior team.
As seen in a different article today --
"The expectation is that true-freshman Drayk Bowen will start in Bertrand’s absence"
can you post this article? I haven't seen that anywhere, other than drayk will play, and i bet it's second half.
