Kyren Williams named to national award’s honor roll

Much deserved for one of the biggest stars from Saturday!

On a night that Notre Dame’s offense was hard to predict at Virginia Tech, veteran running back Kyren Williams was a force. Williams scored twice in the Irish victory, one coming on the ground while the other was on a touchdown reception.

The star running back finished with 107 all-purpose yards, 81 rushing yards, and five receptions in the thriller. His efforts landed him a spot on the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for the second time this season.

Williams has run for 363 yards and four touchdowns in 2021 while pulling in 19 receptions for 200 yards and three more scores.

Notre Dame loses wide receiver for season

Who steps up to fill this hole?

Notre Dame wide receiver Joe Wilkins will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after tearing his MCL in the Fighting Irish loss versus Cincinnati last week.

Wilkins, a junior, had four receptions through Notre Dame’s first five games this year totaling 61 yards. He also recorded a touchdown reception in the season-opening victory at Florida State.

Brian Kelly announced the unfortunate news during his media availability on Thursday.

With the loss of Wilkins you would assume more playing time is right around the corner for true freshmen Lorenzo Styles and Deion Colzie. Styles recorded his second career reception in the second half of last week’s game, gaining 14 yards and a Notre Dame first down.

ACC: Miami has three games rescheduled due to COVID-19 outbreak

A COVID-19 outbreak at Miami means huge changes to the remainder of the 2020 ACC Football schedule. Details of it all right here.

This past weekend many looked at the point-spread between No. 9 Miami and unranked Virginia Tech and were confused to see a struggling Hokies team as a slight favorite.

Then news came out Saturday morning that Miami was dealing with a bit of a COVID-19 outbreak on their team and would be playing the game short-handed.

Miami went on to sneak out of Blacksburg with a one-point victory, but they didn’t escape without lasting issues for the rest of the season as Monday saw the entirety of their remaining regular season switched up.

Miami’s contest against Georgia Tech has been moved from this weekend to Saturday, December 19, assuming the Hurricanes don’t qualify for the ACC Championship Game.

Their game at Wake Forest that had been scheduled for November 28 will now be played on December 5 while their final home game of the regular season against North Carolina moves from December 5 to 12.

In order to make this work the ACC had to rearrange a few other games:

Wake Forest at Louisville moves from Dec. 5 to Nov. 28
Western Carolina at North Carolina moves from Dec. 11 to Dec. 5
Louisville at Boston College moves from Nov. 27 to Dec. 12

If that seems crazy then make sure you remember there is still almost a month of regular season ACC games still remaining and that this could very possibly be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of craziness.
