No. 13 Notre Dame loses center Craig to knee injury as talks continue to extend Southern Cal series
Notre Dame's starting center Ashton Craig will miss the season due to a knee injury sustained in a 36-7 win, with the team preparing for its key rivalry game against USC.
- On Oct. 13, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced starting center Ashton Craig will miss the rest of the season as the team prepares for its rivalry game.
- Leaving late in the third quarter, Craig exited the NC State game after an apparent leg injury during the 36-7 victory; this repeats last year's torn ACL setback.
- PFF data show Craig had 352 snaps with a 66.4 overall blocking grade and allowed nine pressures and two sacks through the season's first half.
- With Craig out, Notre Dame will likely turn to third-year sophomore Joe Otting at center, who played the final 20 snaps and 10-play, 72-yard touchdown drive and had 114 prior offensive snaps.
- Negotiations are ongoing to extend the rivalry, and Freeman said the Fighting Irish face the 20th-ranked Southern California Trojans on Saturday in the second-to-last game under the current series contract.
