He will get rattled by the second series! He is QB1 cause he won’t make it the second quarter!

It’d be really interesting to know how they are going to split the reps the next two weeks. That’ll be all anyone needs to know about their confidence level in Carr.

If Minchey still gettting 40% of the reps and they have a lot of “packages” for him then if I was Carr I’d know my leash was very short. That would amp up the pressure to perform knowing the staff is prepped to pull you if you struggle.
 
Let me be perfectly clear:

I know ND is a very good football team. I know Freeman is a good coach, I know they have a lot of good athletes. They competed for a national title last year. They have recruited well and hit the portal well.

I know CJ Carr was a very highly ranked recruit, and is very talented. He might very well turn out to be a high-level player.

But you cannot, under any circumstances, let a kid who has never, in his life, thrown a pass in a collegiate football game, walk into your building, on Labor Day weekend, at night, in front of a billion people on TV and the singular most repulsive, terrifying, and hostile environment HE WILL EVER SEE......and beat you.

I'm sorry. I know ND is favored. I know they're "better" on paper. I don't give a ****. Maybe the kid learns a ton from this game and is lights-out the rest of his career. ****, maybe he wins a Heisman. But the very first time he takes the field, IN THAT ******* ZOO, he dies. Period. If he goes like 9/16 for 134 yards, but ND wins some other way, I'll tip my cap. But that kid can't beat you. You have to make his life a living ****. DM his old lady. Call his hotel room all night before the game. Rock the buses. Whatever we have to do for him to be ****ting down his leg. You can't lose to a kid playing ball for the first time, not with how good our team is. It's time to hunt.

I don’t see how they don’t prep for both to get playing time .. Carr is unproven going into a hostile environment!

Test for the DBs and LBs early on. He seems to like to target the TEs. Hopefully Wes, Toure, Wiley, Pruitt, and Popo are ready. Obviously the offense will be centered around their running game and the best RB in the country though.

For me the poster child for Freshman phenom is Trevor Lawrence so I went back and checked out his ascension to the starting role at Clemson. Even Lawrence was eased in and while he was efficient and flashed he wasn’t exactly lighting up good defenses in the early part of the season.

Honestly what’s the best example of a situation like this that has worked out for the team that decided to start a zero experience underclassmen in a game of this magnitude on the road?

Jameis Winston was pretty good in Game 1 of his redshirt freshman year.

But we ain't Pitt.
