Obviously, there is no player on the Notre Dame football team under more scrutiny than quarterback Ian Book. This is no surprise, nor is it unfair. It just comes with the position. For better or worse, with the way Notre Dame’s team is built and the way they run their offense, he is most responsible for the success and failures of the offense over the long haul. If they lose, it’s generally going to fall on what Book didn’t do throughout the game.
I have been critical of how Book has played over the last couple of seasons when it is warranted; I’m not going to call something well done if it is not well done.
