Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Two weeks ago Notre Dame didn't have a strong showing in very many parts of the game when it was upset by Northern Illinois in South Bend.

One bright spot however was Joshua Burnham, a defensive lineman who was making plays before leaving the game with an ankle injury.

Burnham did not play last week against Purdue and will again officially be unavailable for Saturday's game against Miami University. The Notre Dame football public relations team announced the news roughly an hour before kickoff on Saturday.

The @NDFootball availability update for this afternoon’s game vs. Miami (OH) (3:30 p.m. ET, NBC):

Sophomore defensive lineman Joshua Burnham (ankle) is unavailable for the game today.

All other student-athletes listed on the Notre Dame two-deep this week are available.

No other players are mentioned which means we should expect to see Jordan Faison who has missed time since suffering an ankle injury against Texas A&M in Week 1.

Notre Dame and Miami kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in South Bend.
