Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner to miss rest of season due to shoulder sprain
Marcus Freeman vowed to leave nothing unexamined or scrutinized in the aftermath of Notre Dame’s loss to Marshall Saturday. Personnel. Game plans. Play calls. Philosophy. Everything would go under the microscope.
“We have to be honest and take an unbiased look,” Freeman said. “Are we doing what’s best for this team, do we have the right people on the field and are we schematically doing the things it takes to have success?”

Quarterback, it turns out, will be among the first changes in the aftermath of the Irish’s 26-21 defeat.
But not by choice.
Sophomore starter Tyler Buchner will miss the rest of the season due to a “high-grade shoulder sprain” on his non-throwing side suffered on a run play late in the fourth quarter of the Irish’s 26-21 defeat, Freeman said Monday. He will have surgery Tuesday, with a recovery timeline of about four months.
“He ended up getting a high-grade, Grade 5 out of 6 AC sprain,” Freeman said.
Buchner left the game with a little less than four minutes remaining following a tackle by Marshall linebacker Eli Neal. That play ended with Neal on top of him and his left shoulder as the first body part to hit the turf, bearing the weight of the hit. His arm appeared to be limp when he got up.
Freeman said he didn’t have a sense for the severity of Buchner’s injury when asked about it after the game.
