SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – A solemn Saturday in South Bend is ahead for Notre Dame’s football team. The pageantry and promise that usually accompanies a home game on the picturesque campus is being overshadowed by the tragic death of Declan Sullivan.
The 20-year-old junior was videotaping the team during practice Wednesday when the hydraulic scissors lift he was on fell over during a windy day.
Coach Brian Kelly released a statement Wednesday night after Sullivan died but has not commented on the incident since. The only reaction from players came via several Twitter posts.
The players and coaching staff attended a campus Mass for Sullivan on Thursday night.
The Irish (4-4) play Tulsa (4-3, 2-2 Conference USA) on Saturday before having a bye week.
