2026 Notre Dame Offense Preview with Bryan Driskell: The CJ Carr Breakout Is Coming

Bryan Driskell from Irish Breakdown joins Tyler and Lance for an in-depth look at the 2026 Notre Dame offense, beginning with one of the biggest breakout candidates in college football: CJ Carr.Carr was outstanding during his first year as the starter, but his role changes dramatically in 2026. With Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price gone, Bryan explains why Carr now has to become the driver of the offense, make everyone around him better, and consistently produce even when opposing defenses build their game plans around stopping him. Bryan ranks Carr No. 2 among the nation's quarterbacks behind Dante Moore, but makes one thing very clear: if he were Notre Dame, he wouldn't trade CJ Carr for anybody. We also break down Notre Dame's new-look running back room, including Aneyas Williams and Kedren Young, and why Mike Denbrock's ability to adapt his offense to his personnel should help the Irish remain dangerous even without Love and Price. Then we turn to a deep and talented receiving corps featuring Jaden Greathouse, Jordan Faison, Mylan Graham, Micah Gilbert and others. Bryan explains why Notre Dame may not have one traditional WR1, but could instead attack defenses with a different matchup weapon every week. Finally, we break down an offensive line that has the talent to become one of the best in college football, including Will Black, Anthonie Knapp, Guerby Lambert and the importance of getting Ashton Craig healthy. CJ Carr. A loaded group of weapons. An elite offensive line. Is Notre Dame about to field a championship-level offense in 2026?
