CJ Carr barely won the off-season competition to become the quarter-tree starting from Notre Dame, but the second year player has fully capitalized on his opportunity, and coach Marcus Freeman takes note.
“It’s rare to be a second -year university football player playing in your fifth [career] Game and playing at a level at which he occurs, “said Freeman on Monday.” It’s rare. But I think CJ Carr is rare. “”
Carr recorded its first performance of 300 yards in career in the 56-13 rout of the Arkansas on Saturday, ending with 354 yards and four affected, while finishing 22 of the 30 passes. Its 294 yards by the first half pass marked the third highest total in the history of the team, and its four affected were the second highest total in the history of the team. The four affected were also tied in the second row by a real first -year recruit or Redshirt in the history of Notre Dame.
For four games, Carr has 1,091 yards by the pass with nine affected and two interceptions. It ranks second in the second national row in total QBR.
Carr, the grandson of the long-standing coach of Michigan, Lloyd Carr, contributed with the second year Kenny Minchey in the spring and pre-season camp. Minchey’s solid practical performances suggested that he could have the first opportunity to start, but Freeman went with Carr, who saw the action in a single match last fall and had no passing attempt.
“It has this unique trait that very few people have,” said Freeman. “He is … a competitive and altruistic individual. It is not CJ Carr. It is not so competitive that,” I want to be able to launch for this amount. “It’s like:” Whatever we did to win, if I have to motivate, if I could work, if I have to lower my head and run if I have to launch the ball “, everything you need to win, as, it has this line.
