Notre Dame graduate Christian Bochicchio made his first start at quarterback for the Utica College football team this past weekend.
The freshman stepped into the starting role which was held by Keith Barone, and had a rocky, yet productive, first start.
The Pioneers turned the ball over several times in losing to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, losing a 24-10 homecoming game in front of 2,835 fans.
Bochicchio - who was the quarterback for the Fighting Irish when the team won the Section 5 Class D championship in 2006 - now looks to be the top option for Utica.
"He can do some things. Right now, he's our guy," UC coach Blaise Faggiano told the Utica Observer-Dispatch after the loss.
Bochicchio went 14-of-24 for 120 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in his college debut.
The Pioneers (0-3) will be at Springfield College on Oct. 4.
