Notre Dame will have its hands full tonight defending Army's No. 1 ranked rushing attack, and the Irish will be without All-American defensive tackle Howard Cross III. Notre Dame announced before the game that Cross was ruled out for the game, as was sophomore wide receiver KK Smith.

Notre Dame defensive lineman Rylie Mills (99) and defensive lineman Donovan Hinish (41) celebrate getting a stop during a NCAA college football game against Florida State at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, in South Bend.

Third-year tackle Donovan Hinish took Cross’ place for the bulk of the last seven quarters and produced three sacks, including one in the win over Virginia.
