  "account": "Notre Dame football will host the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday, and the Irish have received an injury update on two key players who were listed as questionable for the game. The good news is that offensive lineman Matty Augustine, who has yet to play this season due to a foot injury, is expected to see action against Stanford. Augustine, who had been competing for the starting job, will make his season debut following foot surgery during training camp. On the other hand, linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa won't be available to play after injuring his thumb against North Carolina. His early interception earlier in the season only heightened speculation about his recent struggles, which make more sense now. Losing Viliamu-Asa is a setback, as his immense talent and consistency have been crucial to the defense. The good news is that the depth on the offensive line continues to grow as Augustine returns. It is hoped that Viliamu-Asa will be ready for the upcoming game against BYU next weekend.",
