Notre Dame’s Zaire banged up in game at Virginia
Quarterback Malik Zaire was helped off the field late in the third quarter Saturday after he appeared to roll his ankle during No. 9 Notre Dame’s game at Virginia.
Zaire gained 3 yards on the designed run and was helped to the sideline, then taken away in a cart. It was not immediately clear if he would return.
DeShone Kizer replaced him and C.J. Prosise ran 24 yards for a touchdown on the next play. Prosise replaced Tarean Folston, who was knocked out for the season last week with a knee injury.
The touchdown gave the Fighting Irish a 26-14 lead against Virginia and some much needed breathing room.
Zaire was 7 of 18 passing for 115 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown to Will Fuller. He ran 10 times for 87 yards.
