Overview

• The starting job has come down to redshirt freshman CJ Carr and redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey with insiders reporting no clear separation between the two.
• Camp observers say Minchey’s extra practice reps in Mike Denbrock’s offense and his running-threat profile give him a late-camp advantage.
• Both candidates have minimal live-game experience, as Carr has yet to attempt a collegiate pass and Minchey has only completed three for 16 yards.
• Head coach Marcus Freeman will name the starter by Sunday when he meets the media ahead of the season-opening trip to Hard Rock Stadium.
• The chosen quarterback will make his first career start in a top-10 road contest that carries immediate implications for Notre Dame’s playoff hopes.
