Notre Dame's Offense Has Become Unstoppable. Can It Keep Going?

CJ Carr is the real deal for Notre Dame

CJ Carr has performed as well as anyone could've hoped in his first three games as Notre Dame's starting QB.

In his first two games against Miami and Texas A&M, two of the toughest first games for a new QB one could imagine, he did his part to put the team on his back and in a position to collect wins. It wasn't perfect, but it should have been enough to taste victory.

Unfortunately, the Irish defense let the team down both times.

Against Purdue, by far the least talented opponent Notre Dame has faced so far, Carr took another step with a 10-of-12 passing performance, tossing two touchdowns and showing he can comfortably win downfield, with his first pass of the day being a 66-yard TD pass to Malachi Fields.

CJ Carr plays the QB position with a level of comfort and calm that cannot be coached or taught. This has and will serve him well as he continues to mature and matriculate through Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is building a well-rounded offense

Notre Dame is starting to build the kind of well-rounded offense it's been lacking in recent vintage.

The Irish offensive line is starting to gel and play better. There's no doubt the running backs are lethal weapons, highlighted by JD Price's four-touchdown effort against Purdue, and the pass game is rapidly evolving.

The longer these pieces all play together this year, the better they will be and get as an overall offensive unit. This is the kind of balanced offense that makes a team dangerous because the opposition cannot oversell to stop the run or the pass without paying the price for doing so.
