As we wait for the kickoff between Notre Dame and Louisville later this afternoon, there was news about two Cardinals playing status.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel is reporting that transfer wide receiver [autotag]Caullin Lacy[/autotag] is expected make his debut against the Irish today as he will “give it a shot” to get on the field. The senior had a huge year in 2023 with South Alabama, catching 91 passes for 1,316 yards and 7 touchdowns.
His return gives Louisville another weapon to test the Notre Dame secondary. Speaking of defensive backs, it looks like the Cardinals will be without [autotag]Quincy Riley[/autotag], as Thamel is report that he will is doubtful for the game.
He is one of the biggest playmakers on their defense, as he’s picked off a pass and forced a fumble so far this year. It’s clearly a good news and bad news situation for the Irish. Hopefully the Notre Dame secondary is ready for Lacy while the wide receivers take advantage of Riley’s absence.
