Notre Dame 21 Virginia Tech 20 – Recap And Highlights 2019

Well the bookies took a hit on this one giving ND winning by 17 and next up is Duke who thrashed Virginia Tech 45-10.

Say what you want about Ian Book, but he sure did a masterful job taking ND 87 yards with 3 minutes left calling 18 plays and running in the winning TD.

Book has certainly regressed from last year, but I’m putting a ton of blame on OC Chip long. He was absolutely schooled by VT long time DC Bud Carson. Once again it looked like the opponent knew just about every play Long was dialing up.

ND still cannot run the ball so everything is on Books shoulders. Sure he had 2 picks but he threw like 50 passes for 341 yards.

He just is not comfortable running the plays Long is dialing up and it’s throwing him off. Without Chase Claypool we would be in a world of hurt.

I don’t know what they are going to do in their last games – it might be too late to fix this. Right now Duke scares me.

I think there are 2 more losses out there. And I doubt if Book comes back for the 2020 season considering the abuse he’s been getting. PJ doesn’t look like the answer as he looked disinterested in what was going on.

Brian Kelly still does not get it – you build your offense around the players you have not jamming some half-assed offensive scheme. Remember both Kmet and Claypool will not be around in 2020.
