Position switch for Kyle McCarthy

[GoshenGipper]

The word out of Notre Dame is that Kyle McCarthy has moved to QB, at least for the time being. Reportedly he has been working with the 3rd string offense.

I recall Zibby being a pretty high recruit at QB out of High School. I wonder if Weis would consider bringing him into the mix for a play here and there to take advantage of his toughness and athleticism. It would be fun to see Zibby run the option. He is one player who would be fine if the line didn't give him much of a block. He would just run the other team's defender over.

Wow, that is really interesting. Can I ask where you heard it?

That would be really awesome, I would love to see that. However, I think this is a move that is "what helps the team the most". Zibby, and most may disagree, helps the team out the most focusing on defense. Kyle, on the other hand, has other guys in front of him at safety.

Now, maybe draw up a couple plays with Zibby running QB, that would be cool. However, I don't see him running offense with the third team offense; he starts on defense and needs to focus on safety.

I say we just force enough 3 and outs to allow Zibby to take a few punts back for TDs, then who needs an offense?
