'16 CA QB Ian Book (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Irish YJ]

I think we’re playing Clemson and if that’s the case the two best games against them offensively were Texas A&M and South Carolina. I believe it was 430 and 510 or so yards passing for each team so it’ll be about the passing game for ND. It’s gonna have to be working because Clemson has the best rush defense in the FBS by a solid margin. They are incredible against the run but are beatable against the pass. If we play Georgia or Ohio State or Oklahoma they are much more beatable with the use of the running game.

If Long draws up a game plan to prioritize quick throws, we stand a chance against Clemson. In the past, all the early dink/dunk has worked well in regards to time of possession, has worn down Ds, made teams start to bite up, and opened things up for rushing and longer passes. If we come out trying to toss it long and run it straight at them, our OL will get smacked around, Book will get demolished, and we're going to get smoked. It's as easy as that. As far as rushing goes, we've been pretty successful once Book gets going. And we have had better luck with misdirection plays, and plays that attack the edge. I hope all this non-bread and butter stuff by Long has just been a set up for the CFP.

I had some crack ribs from a barfight 32 years ago. It took alot longer than 5 weeks to heal. More like a year. But I did not go to the Doctor.

How was the other guy?

Well then they should sign up for IE.



But in all seriousness, it also curbed how much they were willing to run him which is very bad when teams are going to play press coverage and blitz. A QB draw kills those ILB blitzes.

This would definitely explain why we haven't seen but a few designed running plays for him.

Very cool moment. You could see it's emotional impact on Ian right away when he saw the cover. Congrats Ian.

I like this guy a lot. He's a starting quarterback at Notre Dame and he's in disbelief he is on a Sports Illustrated cover...dude must live under a rock lmao.

Jaylon and Stanley were on the cover before 2015 I think? Could be remembering wrong. Before that, Manti.
