Trouble is brewing in South Bend after a highly anticipated Notre Dame spring game saw a rare outburst from the fanbase, as sophomore quarterback Steve Angeli was booed off the field following several misfires during the scrimmage. Angeli, who has been working hard to win the starting job after the departure of Tyler Buchner, was visibly shaken by the negative response as the Irish struggled to generate offense.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Angeli, who failed to find a rhythm and threw two interceptions in critical moments. As he jogged off the field in the second quarter, fans at Notre Dame Stadium began to voice their displeasure. One fan shouted, “Bring back Brady Quinn!” referring to the legendary former Notre Dame QB. The comment, while likely intended as a joke, cut deep and sparked a wave of online debate.
Behind the scenes, sources close to the team say Angeli is “devastated” by the public criticism. Coach Marcus Freeman has yet to address the situation publicly, but insiders suggest Freeman is “concerned” about the growing divide between the fans and the program’s quarterback situation.
As Notre Dame’s QB battle heats up, will Angeli rise above the noise, or is this the beginning of a crisis?
