If you’re being honest with yourself, did you think Steve Angeli would ever start a football game for Notre Dame? I don’t think I did, and there’s something to be said for being a starting quarterback for the Irish, even if it was a one-off in a forgettable bowl game.
Angeli’s career stats now sit at 34-44 (77.3%) passing for 504 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. It’s certainly a small sample size, and it all took place either in garbage time or in the Sun Bowl against a heavily depleted Oregon State team.
