  "account": "Notre Dame’s rushing attack has been improved, and the team is exploring a new strategy by playing the pass to set up the run. This approach can be utilized effectively with second-year starter CJ Carr, who has excelled in this role. According to Underdog CFB’s data, Carr has completed 15-of-22 passes for 424 yards and 3 touchdowns without any interceptions this season. This demonstrates his accuracy and efficiency, with an average of 19.3 yards per attempt. The Irish have become increasingly confident in throwing the ball on first down, capitalizing on Carr's strengths while they await the run game to catch up. It's a smart move to let Carr shine while the backfield establishes itself this season. Follow CJ Carr on X for more updates.",
