BYU sophomore Bear Bachmeier and Notre Dame junior CJ Carr will lead unbeaten teams into Saturday's game in Provo, where No. 8 BYU hosts No. 2 Notre Dame at LaVell Edwards Stadium, the Deseret News reported in a side-by-side look at the two quarterbacks. [1]
Carr, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound former four-star recruit from Michigan, leads in passing efficiency, completion percentage, yards and touchdowns, helped by having played one more game, according to the Deseret News. Bachmeier, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound former four-star recruit from Murrieta, California, brings more of a running threat in BYU's run-heavy offense. [1]
The paper reported that Bachmeier has faced somewhat tougher defenses so far, with TCU the strongest unit either quarterback has seen, ahead of Carr's toughest test against Wisconsin. BYU will be without running back LJ Martin for the game. [1]
ESPN's Rece Davis said he would pick Bachmeier to deliver in a big game, the Deseret News reported, while former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, now with Fox Sports, praised Carr's ability "to buy time, to keep his eyes downfield, and make something out of a broken-down play." [1]
