""It's rare to be a second-year college football player playing in your fifth [career] game and performing at a level he's performing at," Freeman said Monday. "It's rare. But I think CJ Carr is rare.""
""He has this unique trait that very few people have," Freeman said. "He is ... a competitive, selfless individual. It's not about CJ Carr. He's not so competitive that, 'I want to be able to throw for this amount.' It's like, 'Whatever we got to do to win, if I got to motivate, if I got to work, if I got to put my head down and run if I got to throw the ball,' whatever it takes to win, like, he has that trait. He hates to lose, and then he's mature in the way he prepares.""
CJ Carr barely won the offseason competition to become Notre Dame's starting quarterback and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Carr completed 22 of 30 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns in a 56-13 win over Arkansas, including 294 first-half passing yards, the third-highest in team history. Through four games he has 1,091 passing yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions, and ranks second nationally in total QBR. Carr competed with Kenny Minchey for the job after limited action last fall. Marcus Freeman praised Carr's competitiveness, selflessness, maturity and willingness to do whatever it takes to win.
