- What I took from the unexpectedly close competition is that ND still hasn't found an elite QB, - lacan - 2:15pm 8/20/25
- Congrats to both players on a great competition. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:59pm 8/19/25
  - Carr is the starter. Minchey is the alternator. - TakethetrainKnute - 7:19am 8/20/25

  - In Athletics, nothing is ever 100%. Freeman and staff - ColeyO - 4:48pm 8/19/25

- It's a long season. We will need both. Go Irish! [NT] - Hensou - 1:22pm 8/19/25
  - I think both get playing time. Might see both vs Miami depending on circumstances. - ndphysics - 1:38pm 8/19/25
    - I'd prefer to keep the red zone offense intact. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 3:44pm 8/19/25
      - ND was a very Brian Kelly-esque 89th in red zone offense last year. Not good. - Clem - 6:48am 8/20/25
      - Riley graduated [NT] - ColeyO - 6:15pm 8/19/25
    - That is not what Freeman has said. He was asked that very question and said the opposite of your - FoolBear - 2:38pm 8/19/25

        Like I said, Freeman shot down that idea last week. - FoolBear - 4:31pm 8/19/25

    - 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
      - Carr's in frequent contact with Book who lives in South Bend now. Buchner knows the pressure too. [NT] - notalegacy - 4:19pm 8/19/25

- Your post underwhelms. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 9:05am 8/19/25
- If that's the case, I blame Gidugli and Denbrock. Coach em up, coaches! [NT] - faircatchcorby - 8:58am 8/19/25
- I hope he doesn't announce until 5 minutes before KO just to annoy you. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 8:12am 8/19/25
- how do you know they’ve underwhelmed? [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 6:38am 8/19/25
  - That's the word from "those within the program" - AlbanyIRISH - 6:45am 8/19/25
    - Which means our best QB transferred to Syracuse [NT] - MarkHarman - 9:22am 8/19/25
      - Not best QB, just highest floor. - AlbanyIRISH - 10:05am 8/19/25
      - That's what I wondered then and am wondering now. I don't trust those within the program. - ELP - 9:44am 8/19/25
        Re: That's what I wondered then and am wondering now. I don't trust those within the program. - ND4EVR - 10:44am 8/19/25
        To reiterate, his arm is fine. [LINK] - ndunabomber - 9:19pm 8/19/25
        
        Not true, his arm strength was fine [NT] - ColeyO - 12:23pm 8/19/25
        Exactly. Could make almost all of the throws. - ndunabomber - 5:32pm 8/19/25
        
        All true. I am very curious to see if the carr or minchey can - ndphysics - 10:54am 8/19/25
    - Fine. Just keep off of the bandwagon later this year. Don't be "that guy". [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 9:07am 8/19/25
    - Yep. Former players are saying the same thing. QB will be the weak link! [NT] - irishslovak - 8:45am 8/19/25
    - Well, one way to look at it is that they are playing against a great defense. - iairishcheeks - 8:21am 8/19/25
      - If their confidence was shot, yes. - AlbanyIRISH - 10:04am 8/19/25
        I hadn't heard about the pre-snap miscues, sounds like the pressure is getting to them. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 10:59am 8/19/25
        That’s a problem. If we struggle offensively, we cannot compound that with sloppy play - ndphysics - 12:19pm 8/19/25

- Buchner. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 8:12am 8/19/25
- Trust Freeman, Denbrock and Guidugli, they've earned it. [NT] - Clem - 5:50am 8/19/25
- Carr. He has the arm to beat elite defenses. [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 12:29am 8/19/25
  - And Minchey doesn't? Obviously, the coaches disagree with you or Carr woulda been named starter - Clem - 6:18am 8/19/25
    - This^^^^^ [NT] - ColeyO - 12:24pm 8/19/25
- Either. I just hope the non winner stays. They are both ND guys, and they are both great. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:20pm 8/18/25
- Happy with either, slight preference for Carr - ndunabomber - 9:57pm 8/18/25
- Carr is better passer and is better than average as a runner. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 9:34pm 8/18/25
  - and Minchey the runner [NT] - whatsamataU - 4:52pm 8/19/25
- Edge to Minchey due to mobility which probably gives more options [NT] - LanceManion - 8:18pm 8/18/25
- my magic 8 ball says minchey, but I expect Denbrock to have a fairly quick hook in week 1. ultimate - WestCoastIrishFan - 7:27pm 8/18/25
  - My take also [NT] - NDQuebec - 8:33am 8/19/25

- The canes have a top rated OLine. Good thing the ND secondary is top notch. [NT] - jimbasil - 7:40pm 8/18/25
  - Having an elite athlete at QB last year made them look good. - Clem - 6:13am 8/19/25
    - When I saw Cam Ward last year I was truly amazed at how he made that team a very good team. I didn't - THEISMANCARR - 3:49pm 8/19/25
      - For sure, what makes a kid amazing in college doesn't often translate to NFL success. - Clem - 5:49pm 8/19/25
    - Yep [NT] - Frankx - 10:51am 8/19/25
    - This. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 6:36am 8/19/25
  - The Canes’ receivers are less than elite and are inexperienced working with Beck. - Curly1918 - 3:16am 8/19/25
    - Great point. I worry about every game but Miami does have talent. We have more. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 3:53pm 8/19/25

- I hope that the final decision isn't solely based on the very last scrimmage. - NDQuebec - 9:57am 8/17/25
  - Per Marcus, they've both elevated their play and neither has separated from the other. - AlbanyIRISH - 1:37pm 8/17/25
