With C.J. Prosise out of uniform in warmups, NBC’s Liam McHugh confirmed the news that the Irish will start freshman Josh Adams in the back field. Prosise may be an emergency option, but consider him out this afternoon on Senior Day.
Pete Sampson of Irish Illustrated also noted during warmups that the Irish were without sophomore nose guard Daniel Cage and tight end Nic Weishar. After injuring his shoulder this week during practice, Equanimeous St. Brown is also watching from the sidelines.
