JOSH ADAMS HAS HUGE GAME For the second time this season, Notre Dame had to watch as its starting run- ning back was taken to the locker room, not to return to action. In the season- opening victory over Texas, junior Tar- ean Folston was lost to a knee injury. In Notre Dame's 42-30 win over Pitts- burgh, senior C.J. Prosise went down early in the game. Late in the first quarter, Prosise took a hard hit and never returned to ac- tion. However, his injury is not go- ing to threaten the remainder of his season. "It's one where he'll have to con- tinue to be evaluated. Shoulder, neck, upper body," Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said after the game. "It wasn't a contact hit. It was a contact to the ground. … He's doing pretty good PITTSBURGH GAME NOTES NOTRE DAME VS.
