Notre Dame is taking the training wheels off just in time for Texas A&M

While the Notre Dame football team knows there's plenty that needs to improve from its Week 1 loss to its Week 3 game versus Texas A&M, there's one thing head coach Marcus Freeman knows he and his staff need to do first. They need to take the training wheels off quarterback CJ Carr. That will be one of the most significant changes the group is planning before their home opener on Saturday.

Carr got plenty of praise after his first career start against the Hurricanes. However, it was clear that when they started the game, the game plan was to try to ease the quarterback into the game with a ton of short passes.
