“Give it all you got for somebody else! For your team! For your family! For Notre Dame!”
- Marcus Freeman in his pregame speech Saturday night

CJ Carr has become the Heisman Trophy favorite at the moment after his performance against Miami.
Here are some passes from last night. Against the No. 1 team in the nation, Carr went: 29/40 passing 319 yards (8.0 avg) 3 touchdowns 89.3 QBR.
Through 9 games, Carr has completed 177 of 262 passes (67.6%) for 2,168 yards, 21 touchdowns, and just 1 interception.
When he was young, CJ Carr's brother Chad was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare form of brain cancer and died when he was just five years old.
CJ moved forward the best he could, and when it came time to pick a college, he picked Notre Dame because he knew Chad would love that CJ charted his own path ❤️

Marcus Freeman reached out to Riley Leonard after BYU, having gone through a similar moment with him after NIU.
Freeman explained the responsibility that comes with leadership during difficult moments:
“In leadership you can't show sometimes what you're feeling on the inside. That's not what the people you lead need. CJ needed that same thing after BYU.”
Leonard offered his own perspective on the pressure that comes with playing at Notre Dame:
“Notre Dame is worldwide. There is no such thing as Notre Dame lost I don't care. At times it can feel like a lot of people are against us, but what a privilege that is.”
“Halloween is next Saturday. The number of adults I know who went to Halloween parties in costume this weekend makes me fucking astounded in a bad way. What the fuck are we doing?” -Francis Ellis
“I agree. It’s a holiday for infants” -Lol Sas
ELECTRIC: #Bears star QB Caleb Williams might be the coldest player in the entire #NFL.
You can see how different the entire Chicago team looks with Williams leading the way.
His energy, confidence, and leadership are contagious.
Top-3 for MVP.
