Quarterback Brandon Wimbush returned to the starting lineup against the Seminoles after it was revealed Ian Book suffered an “upper body” injury the previous week against Northwestern, setting off a panic level five amongst Irish fans. There was the initial shock of course; it was unexpected, late in the week, and well people had moved on. We like our RPO’s and every pass being completed. It’s hard to give that up.
Once people had come to grips with the change at quarterback, there was the announcement that sent many over the edge and in need of an intervention: Notre Dame was going to wear green.
