Just when you thought Notre Dame's injury woes couldn't get much worse against Georgia Tech, this happens:

Sophomore safety Drue Tranquill appeared to injure his knee on the play and was taken to the locker room for further evaluation. Here's video of the play:

Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly said while it was too early to know how bad the injury is, he wasn't optimistic.
This is just the latest in a series of unfortunate injures suffered by the Irish. In the last week alone, Notre Dame has lost both its starting quarterback and starting tight end to season-ending injuries and has lost a number of running backs only two weeks into the season.
