For Notre Dame football fans, it’s important to remember that the spring game can only show so much. No national championships have ever been won in April. Still, Irish fans and coaches were looking to see signs out of Notre Dame athletes that show that this Irish team is ready to compete for a College Football Playoff berth starting in September.
There were a few givens that Notre Dame fans and coaches were expecting from this spring game. One of those givens was the play of Ian Book.
It would have been hard for Book to look much better than he did last season.
