The Notre Dame Fighting Irish welcome the Purdue Boilermakers back to South Bend for the ancient clash for the Shillelagh Trophy. On Monday, Notre Dame released their depth chart for the week.
It’s almost the exact depth chart that we got late last week when the Irish made some changes due to injuries and the departure of Lawrence Keys.

| QB | RB | WR | WR | WR | TE | LT | LG | C | RG | RT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | RB | WR | WR | WR | TE | LT | LG | C | RG | RT |
| #17 Jack Coan | #22 Logan Diggs | #4 Kevin Austin | #21 Lorenzo Styles | #0 Braden Lenzy | #87 Michael Mayer | #76 Joe Alt | #73 Andrew Kristofic | #55 Jarrett Patterson | #62 Cain Madden | #54 Blake Fisher |
| #10 Drew Pyne | OR #25 Chris Tyree | #16 Deion Colzie | #29 Matt Salerno | #83 Jayden Thomas | #85 George Takacs | #79 Tosh Baker | #52 Zeke Correll | #78 Pat Coogan | #56 John Dirksen | #77 Quinn Carroll |
| OR #12 Tyler Buchner | - | - | - | - | #88 Mitchell Evans | - | #50 Rocco Spindler | - | - | - |
You ready for this... Jack Coan is still the starter at quarterback. As far as who is protecting him, the depth chart still lists Michael Carmody as the starter at LT, and I’m not sure of the exact update to his injury at the moment. Tosh Baker came into the game in place of Carmody, and if you’re looking for the next guy after him... good luck as the Irish already lost the season starter in Blake Fisher for at least another 6 weeks. Brian Kelly did say they would likely move to a rotation inside, which likely means playing time for freshman Rocco Spindler. Freshmen wide receiver’s Deion Colzie and Lorenzo Styles got some snaps last week, and both pulled in one catch. Running back C’Bo Flemister is still out this week.

| VYPER DE | DT | NG | STRONG DE | WILL | MIKE | ROVER | CB | SS | FS | CB |
| #7 Isaiah Foskey | #57 Jayson Ademilola | #41 Kurt Hinish | #95 Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa | #27 JD Bertrand | #40 Drew White | #24 Jack Kiser | #5 Cam Hart | #11 Ramon Henderson | #3 Houston Griffith | #6 Clarence Lewis |
| #9 Justin Ademilola | #99 Rylie Mills | #56 Howard Cross | #31 NaNa Osafo-Mensah | #32 Prince Kollie | #52 Bo Bauer | #10 Isaiah Pryor | #15 Ryan Barnes | #26 Xavier Watts | #2 D.J. Brown | #28 TaRiq Bracy |
| #48 Will Schweitzer | OR #56 Howard Cross | #54 Jacob Lacey | OR #90 Alexander Ehrensberger | - | - | #12 Jordan Botelho | - | - | - | - |
One giant change this week is that VYPER Jordan Botelho will now be available after missing the first two games of the season. Freshman Prince Kollie was moved up on the depth chart last week, but was unavailable for the game — and he will be unavailable this week as well — so I’m not sure why he’s still on the depth chart.

Kyren Williams is finally listed on the depth chart as a punt returner, and everything else remains the same.
