Tommy Kraemer is out for UNC

[brian_nd88]

Kraemer had an appendectomy and is out Friday. So ND will be without 2 OL starters. It's time for depth to step up and protect Book and the RBs.

That’s big. Book is going to have to play big again along with the defense. They may not be able to just run all game in hopes to slow down NC

Another blow to the OL. Next man in!

I would assume it'd be LUGG and Gibbons

With your best 5 being

RT Lugg
RG Gibbons
C- Hainsey
LG- Banks
LT- Eichenberg

I know that doesn't go by the "Depth chart" but I've heard Kelly talk about Lugg and Gibbons as the next 2 in.

From what I’m reading it seems like Correll takes over at center and Lugg slides in at RG. But just speculation from what I can gather.

OK go the young one at center route. He had a heck of an All Star Game
So that would be

RT Hainsey
RG- LUGG
Center- Correll
LG- Banks
LT- Eichenberg


So two possibilities, could call tnuen

Initially cringed when I saw Kraemer "lost," but fortunately he's not out long term. Hope he recovers well. Not really concerned about 2 OL starers missing for UNC game. IMO, ND can't get into a shootout. Needs to control ball, keep UNC off field, and keep defense fresh. I think reconstituted line will still be able to control LOS against a really bad defense. This game will be all about the ND defense. In Lea I trust.

Depth chart released today has Correll at C and Lugg at RG, but obviously things could change before Friday depending on how practice goes.

Notre Dame’s depth chart for the North Carolina game is out.

Zeke Correll listed as the starting center.

Josh Lugg listed as the starting right guard.

Yeah, this is a good week to lose these 2 Off linemen. The Carolina defense is not very good whatsoever. It would be more difficult if we were going up against a stellar D. Plus, the bye week also helps out here.
