Sam Hartman's Notre Dame debut couldn't have gone much better.
The former Wake Forest QB was 19-of-23 passing for 251 yards and four touchdowns in the No. 13 Fighting Irish’s 42-3 win over Navy in Dublin on Saturday.
The Notre Dame defense overwhelmed Navy’s new-wrinkle offense. The Midshipmen tweaked their option offense over the offseason under new coach Brian Newberry but Notre Dame didn’t have much trouble defending it given Navy's inability to complete many of the wide-open deep passes it had. Hartman got to watch the rest of the game from the sideline after he hit Deion Colzie for a 25-yard catch-and-run TD in the fourth quarter.Hartman came to Notre Dame after spending five seasons at Wake Forest and was an immediate upgrade at quarterback. He showed Saturday that he’s a quick study in a new offense; the system Notre Dame runs under new offensive coordinator Gerad Parker is significantly different than the RPO-based scheme he was familiar with at Wake Forest.
If Saturday was any indication, Greathouse is going to be a major factor in the passing game. The four-star recruit had three catches for 68 yards while Thomas had four grabs for 63 yards.
