I coach shot and disc in the Toledo area. This kid came to our varisty meet with Liberty Center's JV team and threw 40' as a sophomore. Decent throw and would be a varsity toss at most high schools, but only 4th on the depth chart at Liberty Center because they have other huge farm boys lol...
I wish it was that simple. Texas A&M and Miami may both fall out of the top ten by the end of the season. Style points would not hurt ND's resume and narrative.
Love is up to #5 in the country in rushing yards, #3 in the P4.
With the soft finish to the schedule, a part of me wishes ND was intentional about pursuing a Heisman and letting him rip off 1,000 more yards to finish the season.
Their QB, Mason Heintschel, is a true freshman from Clay HS in Oregon, OH. I am fairly involved in Oregon so I had been following his HS career/recruitment.
I think he's going to be a damn good QB in the near future. Seems like Pitt got a real one.
If you would have told me in June that Carr would be top ten in Heisman odds at the midpoint of the season, I would have bet my house that Notre Dame would be 6-0.
It's an overreaction by Penn State administration. Franklin is an asshat and I enjoy watching him suffer, but one season's collapse is not worth terminating him. But in the era of NIL, this may be the new normal.
Jason Candle is a mediocre coach who typically has the most talented team in the MAC and they blow it more times than not.
Toledo guy here, most people wouldn't shed a tear if he was poached.
This is so wild to see. I am still a Hartman stan and will instead blame the FCS-level receivers he had to work with.
Still, Carr is the first ND QB who gets easy short passes since Clausen & Company. Teams respect this receiving corp and Carr's arm. It's nice to have nice things.
Because it's bullshit logic and groupthink. Beating Penn State last year was incredible. Then less than a year later, theyre a fraud program? Why belittle them when that takes away from what Notre Dame accomplished?
Because Penn Stats also returned a lot. I thought Notre Dame should have been...
