Irish to Start Freshman Quarterback
- Share via
Notre Dame Coach Bob Davie said Wednesday that Matt LoVecchio will start Saturday against Stanford, making him only the fourth Irish quarterback since 1952 to start as a freshman without a redshirt season.
The last three freshman quarterbacks for the Irish--Blair Kiel in 1980, Steve Beuerlein in 1983 and Kent Graham in 1987 (before transferring to Ohio State)--all won their first starts.

Brigham Young quarterback Bret Engemann will miss the rest of the season after surgery for a dislocated right shoulder. . . . Florida quarterback Jesse Palmer is doubtful for Saturday’s game against Louisiana State because of a sprained right ankle.
