Brian Kelly confirmed what looked painfully obvious to everyone watching the Notre Dame – Texas game at home on television – has been lost for the year after suffering a MCL injury in the first half of Notre Dame’s season opener.
Folston went down on what looked like a routine tackle, but limped off the field and was on the trainer’s table shortly after. NBC reported that Folston was visibly emotional on the sidelines with his teammates and by the second half, Folston was in street clothes and on crutches.
Before falling to his injury, Folston had picked up 19 yards on three carries including 15 on the ill-fated tote that has now cost him his 2015 season.
