SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior quarterback CJ Carr has been selected as a member of the Davey O’Brien Great 8 for Week 10 following Notre Dame’s 31-24 victory over No. 1 Miami Saturday night.
Carr turned in a career-defining performance, leading the Irish offense with poise and precision against the nation's top-ranked team. He completed 29-of-40 passes (72.5%) for 319 yards and three touchdowns, finishing with zero interceptions and an impressive 164.2 passer rating. Carr completed passes to 10 different receivers, keeping the Miami defense off balance throughout the night, and led an offense that accumulated 412 total yards and did not commit a turnover.
Carr now has 21 passing touchdowns on the year, tied for ninth in the FBS, compared to just one interception. His 21-1 touchdown to interception ratio is the best in the country. With Carr under center, the Notre Dame offense is averaging 39.3 points per game, the ninth most in the FBS.
The win marked the 10th all-time Notre Dame victory over an AP No.1 ranked opponent, the second-most all-time.
Notre Dame remains at home this upcoming weekend, hosting Boston College on Saturday, Nov. 14. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
