Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr has been in the running for the Heisman Trophy for most of the season.
His odds of winning it are even greater after standout performance against Miami over the weekend.
More recently, Carr was named a top-10 candidate for the prestigious Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which “recognizes quarterbacks who demonstrate excellence both on and off the field and have continued to distinguish themselves through their performance, leadership and contributions to their teams” throughout the season, according to a description.
Carr was 29-of-40 on completions for 319-yards and three touchdowns in the Irish’s upset win over Miami on Saturday. The junior signal caller has now completed 67.6% of his passes for 2,168 yards, 21
TDs and an interception.
His 21:1 TD-to-INT ratio is the best in the country. He also averages 8.3 yards-per-throw and has only been sacked twice.
