Notre Dame's QB competition may need youth movement after Blue-Gold Game

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame’s quarterback trio didn’t make the impending decisions any easier Saturday for head coach Marcus Freeman and his coaching staff. The top three options showed in the Blue-Gold Game why the three-man competition this spring is not only real, but it’s nowhere near its conclusion.

Notre Dame’s annual spring scrimmage this year was different in format with three untimed periods consisting of four drives each. It also came at an odd time in the spring football practice schedule. The Irish will still have three more practices in the coming weeks, which was the result of starting practices later in the semester than usual due to a season that extended into late January.
