Notre Dame’s offense has struggled this season, and it has done so with a senior returning quarterback who, in the view of many, has regressed. Naturally, this has led to a lot of discussions about offensive coordinator Chip Long and the job he has done this season.
Before we get started in full, it’s baffling that we are having a “are we sure our quarterback and offensive coordinator are good?” conversation in November of this season. If there were any “knowns” going into this year, it’s that the offense, led by Book, was going to at least be efficient, if not outright explosive.
