Overreactions: Ian Book Shows Why He’s Notre Dame QB1, Not Phil Jurkovec

If you didn’t know why Ian Book didn’t let Jurkovec takeover the QB1 position at Notre Dame before Jurkovec ultimately transferred, Book certainly did not let you forget it by the end of the game as he guided the Irish to a 45-31 victory. Here’s more on that and more overreactions from Notre Dame’s latest win.
