Don't get me wrong, I would have been happy with Minchey as well. Both of those guys put on a competition we haven't seen since the likes of Rick Mirer vs Jake Kelchner in the spring of 1990.

The length of the competition tells me that the two of them were duking it out, and the better man at the moment won, that neither were given the Brian Kelly appointee status from the start.

      - ND was a very Brian Kelly-esque 89th in red zone offense last year. Not good. - Clem - 6:48am 8/20/25

    - What?!? ND QB getting micro-analyzed? [NT] - Clem - 5:41pm 8/19/25
    - There is HUGE pressure being the ND QB. Ian Book & Riley made reference to this recently. - FoolBear - 2:33pm 8/19/25
