Brian Kelly has been steadfast in his proclamation that Brandon Wimbush is the starting quarterback for the Notre Dame football team. However, comments he has made recently might indicate that the door is cracked for backup quarterback Ian Book to have a role on this team. But what might that role look like for Book?
Both Wimbush and Book have their strengths. Wimbush is a tremendous athlete with a rocket arm. Book is an accurate passer with a gun-slinger mentality and tremendous confidence. And while the Irish figure to be a team who will rely heavily on their defense, it is reasonable to see a role for both in 2018.
