No. 14 Notre Dame has suspended a third player for the Citrus Bowl against No. 16 LSU.
Junior tight end Alize Mack, who saw considerable playing time this year after missing the 2016 season because of academic issues, will miss the Jan. 1 game against the Tigers (9-3) because of "an internal team matter," coach Brian Kelly said Thursday
Already indefinitely suspended for the Fighting Irish (9-3) are sophomore wide receiver Kevin Stepherson and freshman running back C.J. Holmes, who were arrested on shoplifting charges last week at a mall in nearby Mishawaka.
The suspensions of Stepherson and Mack are another blow for the Irish offense. Quarterback Brandon Wimbush's receiving corps was already without freshman tight end Brock Wright and sophomore wide receiver Chase Claypool; both suffered recent shoulder injuries that required surgery.
**LSU has its own issues: The Tigers will be missing injured linebackers Arden Key, Donnie Alexander and Corey Thompson.
Auburn will be without All-American cornerback Carlton Davis in the Peach Bowl.
UCF coach Scott Frost learned of the absence of Auburn's top cover corner during Sunday's press conference and joked of hoping the list of players the Tigers would be without would grow to include the starting four defensive linemen and Kerryon Johnson.
Central Florida coach Scott Frost chose to stay with the team through the bowl game after accepting a job to move to Nebraska, his alma mater. Frost will bring most of his assistants with him to Nebraska. Former Missouri offensive coordinator Josh Heupel is Central Florida's new coach and is expected to watch the game from a private box.
