QB Ian Book announces return to Notre Dame for fifth season, third as starter

Notre Dame will officially have the luxury of a third-year starting quarterback in 2020, with Ian Book announcing his intention to return for a fifth season late Sunday evening.

Of the 33 Irish wins in the last three seasons, Book has started 20 of them, putting together a 20-3 record. At the end of the 2019 regular season, there was some idle speculation Book might seek to finish his collegiate career elsewhere with a graduate transfer after an up-and-down senior season. His social media posts Sunday silenced that wondering.
