UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

At LSU and ND, Denbrock had dual threat QB's with Jayden Daniels and Riley Leonard (and he had Desmond Ridder at Cincinnati before he left for LSU). I didn't watch much of Cincinnati and LSU football, but I do recall the QB's being able to run in the Denbrock system, especially Daniels and Leonard.

Last year, a lot of the ND offensive plays were designed runs for Riley and it was very effective.

If Carr wins the job, I just wonder how that changes the play calling under Denbrock? Carr seems more of the elite true passer and I'm sure he can scramble if he needs to, but Minchey seems more of the dual threat mold of the past QB's that Denbrock has had.

With our O-line and stable of RB's, the run game should be very solid. If you break last season's offensive play calls down to: RB runs, QB runs, and QB passes, should we expect the RB runs and QB passes to increase? If Carr is the starting QB, I just can't see Denbrock calling a bunch of designed QB runs like he did for Riley. I could be wrong, but I have to think Denbrock will tweak the offense to Carr's strengths which will be throwing the ball, though the offense can lean on the run game as Carr develops. Obviously, if Minchey wins the QB battle, it's a whole other discussion.

Hope you all have a nice Holiday weekend with your families!!
