It is officially game week for Notre Dame football, as head coach Marcus Freeman spoke to the media on Monday.
The Irish released its availability report, and it’s both positive and negative. Starting off with the good news first, it looks like we may see linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa on the field. He’s listed as questionable to face Wisconsin, and personally, if it’s not close, I don’t think there is a need to play him. Surely KVA wants to be out on the field, but it’s hopefully a long season and the Irish will need him to be healthy as the season progresses.

As for the bad news, two expected contributors in wide receiver Quincy Porter and offensive lineman Chris Terek won’t see the field, as they have been ruled out. Multiple others won’t be ready either including offensive linemen Matty Augustine and Charles Jagusah, defensive lineman Christopher Burgess Jr. and Tiki Hola, linebacker Ko’o Kia and defensive back Chaz Smith.
For the most part, Notre Dame looks very healthy as its gets ready to start its season on Sunday evening against the Badgers.
