He felt some discomfort in his throwing shoulder the next week and decided not to risk potential injury by playing further.
During his shortened senior season that included five full games, Minchey completed 65 of 94 passes for 1,007 yards with 15 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He added 43 rushing yards on 11 carries.
Notre Dame Tweets of the Day
Quote of the Day
“He is really talented. Big-league arm. He’s really getting the ball out right now. And he’s seeing the field really well. He can create on the run. His eyes are downfield, even though the rush is telling him to move his feet. And he’s able to convert on the move. He’s dangerous with the ball in his hands and equally with the vertical game. So, he is really a complete package — very impressed with him.”
— Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden on USC quarterback Caleb Williams
