Unavailable vs. Notre Dame Cherry won't be available for the Hoosiers against Notre Dame, Michael Niziolek of The Bloomington Herald-Times reports.

Impact Cherry has yet to play thus far in his true freshman season, so it was highly unlikely that he would see the field regardless. The Hoosiers should trot out Kurtis Rourke, followed by Tayven Jackson, at quarterback.
