Johnson missed the tackle and landed hard on his chest.
Former walk-on Luke Talich took Johnson’s place at safety on the next series to close out the first half as Notre Dame held a 13-10 lead as a heavy favorite in the season opener.
Onye, who started on the interior of Notre Dame's deep defensive line, was credited with one first-half tackle.
Former USC transfer Elijah Hughes took Onye's place in the rotation.
Notre Dame was already playing without starting linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, ruled out before the game as he works back from November surgery to repair a torn left ACL.
