Carr's Rollercoaster: TDs, INTs, and the Pitt Pitfall

CJ Carr's 2025 season as Notre Dame's starting quarterback was a display of potential and growing pains. His inaugural start against the Miami Hurricanes saw him contribute two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown, alongside an interception, in a losing effort. This early performance set a tone for a season of mixed results.

Carr's subsequent matchups tested his capabilities. Facing Texas A&M, he managed only one passing touchdown and threw an interception, contributing to a narrow 41-40 loss. However, he rebounded against Navy with three passing touchdowns. The season's focus game against Pitt highlighted his inconsistency, with two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, countered by three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) in a 37-15 victory.
