Notre Dame 56 Wake Forest 27 – Recap and Highlights

It took 3 in and 3 out series and then new starting QB Ian Book exploded on the stadium leading ND to 56 points. Book was 25/34 for 325 yards passing 2 TD’s ano no picks.

He also ran for 43 yards and 3 TD’s while passing to 10 different receivers – WOW!! New QB in town.

Books passes were accurate, quick and crisp which allowed his receivers to gain chunks of yards after the catch. It also opened up the running game with Armstrong, Jones and Davis rushing for 180 yards.

ND finished the game with 566 total yards and Chris Finke just missed a punt return for a TD. Book seemed to jumpstart everything – the OL played with more energy and fun than we’ve seen in years.

Finally, the Offense was able to give the “D” a rest as a number of reserves played, although I thought Coney and Tranquill should have been pulled earlier. Tranquill is one hell of a player.
