Ian Book

The Irish have a signal caller they can feel good about. He has experience, has willed his team to wins with late-game heroics, has decent accuracy and takes pretty good care of the football.

He moves pretty well, too.

There’s not much to dislike about Ian Book’s game. For that reason, there is plenty to be excited about on offense despite losing some big-time talent at offensive line, running back and receiver. Book rarely makes a bad decision with the ball and understands how and where to find the open man.
