Notre Dame preparing for injured WR Toney, Miami's other 'great players'

Notre Dame is gearing up for its upcoming game against Miami, focusing on various scenarios following the injury to Hurricanes wide receiver Malachi Toney. Toney is set to undergo surgery for a high ankle sprain, which will keep him out of the game and likely sidelined for several weeks, possibly returning later in the postseason. Notre Dame's head coach emphasized the importance of being prepared for both outcomes—whether Toney plays or not.

Despite Toney's absence, Notre Dame recognizes that Miami has a wealth of talent. The Fighting Irish coach noted that the Hurricanes have several capable players who can step up in Toney's place. Notre Dame will also face its own challenges, as they will be without linebacker Drayk Bowen and have a few other players dealing with injuries. The team is focused on adjusting their game plan accordingly for Saturday's matchup.
