Notre Dame football: Tyler Buchner spring game highlights
The annual Notre Dame spring game came and went at the start of the month and the player that created the most fanfare is currently buried to at least third on the depth chart.
That player was freshman quarterback Tyler Buchner who entered the game late in the first half before leading the only two touchdown drives of the game that the blue squad eventually won, 17-3.
Buchner finished the day 6 of 9 passing for 140 yards while running three times for six yards, a touchdown, and once fumbling.
That’s how it appeared in the box score but how did Buchner’s first game-action since the fall of 2019 look? Take a peek yourself:
Obviously, some bright flashes were in there as Buchner brings the quickest release of any Notre Dame quarterback I can think of in quite some time. There was plenty of rust to be seen as well but if you hadn’t seen any of his work yet then it was a quality glimpse at why so many are so high on the freshman out of La Jolla, California.
