Notre Dame QB CJ Carr in-house for brother’s first-career start

Notre Dame star quarterback CJ Carr was in the building to support his younger brother Tommy making his first career start for Michigan.

On Saturday, the Carr family found themselves in an extraordinary scenario for Notre Dame’s starting quarterback, CJ Carr. With an off-week, he had the opportunity to watch his younger brother, Tommy, make his first career start for his grandfather’s former employer, Michigan. During the previous weekend, Tommy stepped in for the previous starter, Bryce Underwood, and guided the team to a second-half comeback victory over Penn State.

Tommy was subsequently named the starter against Indiana, as the reigning National Champions traveled to Notre Dame’s home stadium. After going 5-of-7 for 47-yards against the Nittany Lions, the Wolverines took the Hoosiers into overtime but ultimately fell short with a 13-6 loss. Carr delivered a solid performance, completing 20-of-32 passes for 167-yards, although he did throw an interception.

For the Carr family, this moment holds a special place in their memories, as they now have two standout college starting quarterbacks in the college football scene.
