SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Notre Dame star receiver Michael Floyd
will play against Navy on Saturday, six weeks after breaking his
left collarbone.
Coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday that the 6-foot-3, 220-pound
sophomore was cleared to play Monday for the No. 19 Fighting Irish.
Floyd was second in the nation in receiving yards at 160 yards a
game when he was hurt when he landed on his shoulder trying to make
a catch against Michigan State.
Weis also said that backup quarterback Dayne Crist is gone for
the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in his
right knee on Saturday against Washington State. Crist is scheduled
to undergo surgery Friday and is expected to be out four to six
months.
Wide receiver John Goodman, who played quarterback in high school at Bishop Dwenger, will get work at the position to be the number three quarterback.
