www.BLUEANDGOLD.com NOV. 9, 2019 25 I'm putting any words in their mouths, they didn't think that he was going to make it through the summer. "But he wanted to play in his senior year, it was important to him. So it's great to see him have some success." IRISH PLAY 'TIGHT' ON OFFENSE The Notre Dame offense did not come storming out of the gate against Virginia Tech as many Irish fans hoped they would. Senior quarterback Ian Book was tentative to throw the ball into cover- age, threw two interceptions and was quick to escape the pocket whenever he sensed pressure from the Hokies front. "I think we started tight," head coach Brian Kelly said after the game. "I think that the turnovers kind of contributed to that. Everybody now is kind of like, 'I don't want to make a mistake,' instead of just be who you are, keep playing, be aggressive." The loss of senior right guard and team captain Robert Hainsey early in the first quarter did not do anything to solve the offensive woes for the Irish. Playing with a completely new right side of the line in fifth-year se- nior right guard Trevor Ruhland and junior right tackle Josh Lugg, Notre Dame was slow to get the run game going early. Ruhland knew how hard it was going to be for Lugg to come into the game cold. NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
