CJ Carr’s Wild First Touchdown at Notre Dame Has Social Media Buzzing

Barstool Big Cat Praises CJ Carr

This...Wound Up Being a Touchdown

At this point, I was thinking, just get rid of the ball and survive to at least walk away with the field goal. Yet, instead, it ends up being a touchdown pass to Micah Gilbert.

Pat McAfee Sings CJ Carr's Praises

McAfee is of course selling some ABC/ESPN product, but one of the biggest voices in sports media gives respect to Carr after a wild play. It ends up being a no-look pass by Carr on an absolutely absurd play.

Sideline View of CJ Carr's Wild Touchdown Pass vs. Miami

CJ Carr isn't Riley Leonard in terms of athleticism but some of the way he's been talked about is a bit absurd. He's not a mega-athlete that has a basketball highlight tape from high school that's as impressive as his football tape, but he can outrun defenders and do more than enough with his feet to pose a threat to defenses.

Carr deserves credit for recognizing its a three-man rush on this play and not panicking. Instead he does what he has to do to buy time, gets settled, and fires a no look pass to get Notre Dame on the board.

Throwback Comparison for CJ Carr

I'll never forget Seneca Wallace's ridiculous touchdown run against Texas Tech. This play wasn't that by any stretch of the imagination, but it was still rather absurd and incredibly impressive for a redshirt freshman.

Imagine if You Know Who Would Have Done That...

The reaction to CJ Carr doing it was quite a bit but if it had been Manning, they would have tried to already hand the Heisman Trophy out.
