Notre Dame's Michigan State snap-count review says Williams gave way to Nolan James Jr. after a 15-yard excessive-celebration penalty following his one-yard touchdown. The writer describes Williams as essentially benched and James taking over in the second half. This is observed game usage, not confirmation of the starter against Purdue.

The Notre Dame report says Faison was off the field for only three snaps against Michigan State. Greathouse saw his first action of this season in 12 personnel but did not catch a pass. These are specific participation details from that game, not a guarantee of future targets or a statement that either receiver changed starting status.

With Flanigan on the field against Michigan State, Notre Dame ran 25 times and passed 11 times. The writer flags that near-70% run tendency as a possible defensive clue. The counts describe that game's usage; they do not establish that Michigan State decoded every call or that Notre Dame has announced a different play-calling plan.

The post-Michigan State report describes Absher as established at Notre Dame's starting right-guard spot and Styles Prescod as the first tackle off the bench. This is the writer's current personnel assessment, not a newly verified Monday depth chart, an injury explanation or a promise of an unchanged lineup against Purdue.
