In another nail-biting victory, the Notre Dame football team went into Lane Stadium and beat the Virginia Tech Hokies in Week 6. It was not easy, and at times it looked like loss No. 2 was on the way, but in the end, the Irish had just enough firepower to leave a tough environment with their fifth win.
Here are three things we learned in the matchup on Saturday night.
Notre Dame football at Virginia Tech: 3 things we learned
Jack Coan is clutch when it counts
It has been a crazy season for Jack Coan as the starting quarterback at Notre Dame, as he has set records, been pulled from games, and has looked completely lost at times. On Saturday night, he was once again pulled from the game early on, as Tyler Buchner came in, and led the team to two touchdown drives before the half.
In the second half, Buchner went down with an injury and stepped Coan, showing some late-game magic. He once again put the Irish on his back and delivered when it counted, adding to his interesting first, and only season in South Bend.
Now, if he could only play that way for four quarters, there would be no musical chairs at quarterback for the Irish.
