No. 4 Notre Dame will head into its marquee matchup against No. 1 Miami without starting linebacker Drayk Bowen, who has been ruled out due to injury, according to Yahoo Sports.

Bowen's absence means the Fighting Irish will need to hand off the defensive radio helmet duties to another linebacker for Saturday's high-stakes battle between top-ranked teams.

The game pits two unbeaten powerhouses against each other, with Notre Dame now needing to adjust its defensive communication and leadership on the fly as it prepares to face the nation's top-ranked squad.
