I’m not sold on Angeli as the answer at QB next year. And I’m tired of hearing about how he was “leading the nation in passing.” It’s easy to pad stats against UConn and Colgate. Let’s not forget the season opener against a borderline Top 25 team. Angeli was supposed to be ready for the spotlight after stepping in for ND in the playoffs last year. Instead, he looked pedestrian, and after he gave up a scoop and score at the end of the first it was pretty much game over. He finished with a 48.6 rating.
We need to make a move. One QB, not a handful of portal flyers. Bringing in multiple guys just feels like Fran throwing darts and hoping one hits. I’d love to see someone like Tavien St. Clair or Kenny Minchey in Orange next year. If we have to take a second portal QB, make it a low-risk swing like Colton Joseph or maybe roll the dice on another SEC castoff, like Jackson Arnold.
Bottom line: Angeli should not be handed the starting job. Let him earn it in camp, if he’s even ready.
