Notre Dame delivered a beatdown of rival USC on Saturday in South Bend, and Sam Hartman was instrumental in making that happen.
The Wake Forest transfer threw for 126 yards and two touchdowns in the game against the Trojans last weekend. The Notre Dame defense intercepted Caleb Williams three times to make life miserable for the Heisman candidate.

“Stache Steez,” Notre Dame dubbed their starting quarterback.

As long as Hartman continues to play how he is, he can rock whatever change to his appearance that he would like.
The decision to leave Wake Forest and join one of the most historic college football programs immediately put him on the national stage and he has not disappointed yet.
The quarterback’s popularity has grown to roughly 300K more followers in less than a month. The addition of his new mustache might bring even more fans his way.
The uptick in his social media following could equal NIL deals in the long run because not everybody is assured a spot in the NFL.
He’s thrown for 1,838 yards with 18 touchdowns and just three interceptions in eight games. Hartman’s name is still in the Heisman Trophy race, with his odds sitting at +8000, according to BetMGM.
