As far as the starting quarterback job for Notre Dame football in 2018 goes, there is no controversy inside the locker room walls. Brandon Wimbush is the starter, regardless of what any Notre Dame fans or blogs desire.
Ian Book stepped in under center during the Citrus Bowl against LSU to replace a struggling Wimbush. The Irish won the game and Book was hailed as a hero. Thanks to Brandon Wimbush’s statistical struggles in the passing game during the 2017 season, many Notre Dame fans jumped to an immediate and premature conclusion that Book should supplant Wimbush as Notre Dame’s starter.
