Since Jarrett Patterson went down with a foot injury late in Notre Dame’s win at Boston College back in November, much has been made about the starting center position for the Irish.
Zeke Correll and Josh Lugg have battled for the starting spot since and it appears that we have our answer as to who will get the official start in Friday’s Rose Bowl game as Correll has been the one snapping to quarterback Ian Book in pregame warmups.

Patterson was playing at an incredibly high level before the injury so the importance of a strong showing at the position only grows when taking on a foe as impressive as Alabama.
