SOUTH BEND —A dozen days away from Notre Dame football's season opener against Wisconsin, Joe Rudolph's offensive line is still holding auditions for 40% of the starting spots.
In addition to the Joe Otting-Ashton Craig battle at center, where team doctors have yet to fully clear Craig in his return from his second torn ACL in as many seasons, there's a turnstile of sorts spinning at right guard.
Or maybe it was just the turn of Styles Prescod, considered the top backup at either tackle spot, to get a longer look at right guard.
"Listen, the competition at right guard is open," offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock said. "And we've got a number of guys we're taking a look at in there. Styles is one of those guys."
Sullivan Absher entered fall camp as the leading candidate at right guard, but a broken foot derailed second-year man Matty Augustine's push to claim the starting job.
