You don’t get that flag when you play for Notre Dame. He’s gotta learn quickly that he won’t get breaks and free bees from the referees like he did at Notre Dame.

I say let’s get another big name QB. I wonder how many missed late hits the refs will miss down in Atlanta opening weekend.

Now if we did 2 QB packages AND Villari…then we’re cooking

It’s incredible what is being done here

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Not surprising. This is what is was always going to be. You know, Angeli.

Apologies if already posted here...

I got a lot of pushback when I said .500 would be a struggle with Williams in January. And that was after watching one bowl practice.

We all need to calibrate that neither of the new guys are replicating last year. But there’s a greater chance that somebody is adequate.

Amen

 

[money3189]

Did Rickie look ready to start, Coach? I expect Angeli to be number 1 but wondering if Rickie would be ready to be number 1 if needed

Rickie showed elite traits. Great arm. Made some great throws. He was just inconsistent with the routined stuff. Take that fwiw because I only saw 3 practices.

If there’s one thing that I like about this staff, is that they don’t seem like they want to go with a guy they’re not sure can get the job done.

Their standards are higher than our recent past.

In my entire 45 years of fandom, I’ve never felt worse than Troy Nunes first game. The drop off from McNabb to Nunes was shocking.

I was concerned we were going to have that same feeling in Atlanta. Not sure I’m as worried now. Whoever wins will be at least as good as Angeli last year, and that seems acceptable.

 

[IthacaMatt]

That's great. Yes, the LSU kid is the starter, but this kid is a legit 1A.

 

[GoSU96]

...if Collins or Williams don't portal now...

If they bail because of this, not very competitive.

They all have multiple years to develop and win the job.

This isn’t like McCord where his last shot was at risk and it was clear the coach already made a decision.

Both these guys know the score and they each have a better path to winning the job then they

 

[Scotch]

That's great. Yes, the LSU kid is the starter, but this kid is a legit 1A.

I’ll take that bet.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I’ll take that bet.

I don't have a horse in this race. I just like seeing us with 2 or 3 guys who wouldn't crap their pants against live competition.

You have to go all the way back to before Dungey, to find a QB besides McCord to make it through the entire year.

QB STEVE ANGELI TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE 4/23/25!

Report: Steve Angeli will visit one of Notre Dame football’s 2025 opponents today​

Steve Angeli, who has decided to transfer from Notre Dame, will visit Syracuse today. The Orange are one of Notre Dame’s 2025 opponents.
fightingirishwire.usatoday.com
When Steve Angeli decided to leave Notre Dame football and enter the transfer portal, you had to know that he would end up somewhere he could start immediately.

As one of the top transfers at his position during the spring cycle, interest is going to be there and on Monday it was reported by On3’s Steve Wiltfong that Angeli will take a visit to Syracuse today. The Orange saw another transfer, Kyle McCord, take over the starting position and throw for 4,779 yards, which led all of the NCAA this past year. He will now move on to the NFL.

There is no doubt that Syracuse can sell the position to Angeli, showing him everything that McCord did in his lone season, as he finished No. 10 in the Heisman Trophy voting. As a New Jersey native, the former Irish quarterback would be able to play much closer to his home, and for a program that isn’t afraid to throw the ball.

Another interesting tidbit about this visit is that Notre Dame will take on Syracuse in South Bend on Nov. 22nd. It would be quite the return for Angeli.

This is the first visit that Angeli will take since entering the portal this past week, and it could be a short re-recruitment for him.

College career​

Notre Dame​

2022 season​

On October 22, 2022, Angeli made his collegiate debut against UNLV. Overall, Angeli appeared in two games in the 2022 season.

In 2023, Angeli was named the backup quarterback, behind Sam Hartman. He appeared in nine games and recorded 4 touchdowns and 1 interception for 272 passing yards.

In the 2025 Orange Bowl against Penn State, Angeli replaced an injured Riley Leonard late in the second quarter and completed 6/7 passes for 44 yards, securing a field goal as the first half expired. Leonard would return in the second half and lead Notre Dame to a 27–24 victory.

Is there any reason to be concerned that Angeli couldn’t win the ND starting job this spring? I don’t know anything about who he was competing with, so I ask sincerely.
