Notre Dame tends to have its doubters every season.
Eight victories in, the second-ranked Fighting Irish have made many of them believers behind the play of veteran quarterback Ian Book. He has led the team to back-to-back wins over former No. 1 Clemson and Boston College.
Book has completed 62% of his passes for 1,818 yards and 11 touchdowns with one interception and he’s second on the team with 364 rushing yards and six more TDs.
Notre Dame is idle until a Nov. 27 game at North Carolina.
