Notre Dame’s dual-threat spark with big-play upside
Holiday was a versatile Notre Dame weapon, known for his athleticism, rushing ability, and poise in high-leverage moments; as a senior in 2002, he threw for 1,788 yards and 10 touchdowns while also adding 200 net rushing yards and 3 rushing scores, showing rare two-way value for an offense.[6] He also said his passing improved significantly at Notre Dame, with a stronger arm, better accuracy, and a more disciplined approach than in high school—traits that made him more than a stat line and a fit for a system that wants a true multi-tool playmaker.[7][9]
