Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman wasn’t ready to announce a starting quarterback Sunday, two weeks before the Irish opener at Miami.
Last season, Notre Dame’s defense ranked No. 4 in the country in scoring defense, No. 4 in the country is passing yards allowed per game, No. 5 in passing touchdowns allowed and No. 1 in completion percentage allowed. They held 12 of their opponents last season to under 20 points scored including the first two postseason games.
Phil Steele recently explained why he believes Notre Dame is once again a national championship contender. Quarterback is a question; however, the talent everywhere else is among the best in the country. Steele is high on nearly every single position group in South Bend.
