Notre Dame Football: Ian Book regained his confidence vs. New Mexico

After a lackluster start to the 2018 college football season, Notre Dame football found its quarterback in Ian Book. Stepping in for Brandon Wimbush, Book was magnificent in leading the Irish to the College Football Playoff.

But against Clemson, Book was flustered, as was the rest of the Irish offense.

In week one, Book had a similar flustered look as Louisville pressured him in multiple ways and limited Notre Dame’s passing attack.

On Saturday, Book didn’t look particularly sharp early, but seemed to regain his confidence as the game went on. For Irish fans, Book’s apparent resurgence of confidence comes at the perfect time, as the Irish travel to Athens to play third-ranked Georgia next week.
