www.BLUEANDGOLD.com NOV. 6, 2021 29 cornerback Don Chapman with no safety help. Coan saw it, let it rip and delivered an on-target pass to the front pylon. For the second straight game, Notre Dame put together five drives of at least 70 yards. Three of them lasted 11 or more plays. A resurgent offensive line and running game has plenty to do with that. But so does a decisive and clearly comfortable Coan. Coan leading scoring drives at the end of the game versus Virginia Tech was an intriguing development. An entire game with the tempo offense against USC was encouraging. And now, two weeks in a row with a stable and successful of- fensive blueprint is promising as Notre Dame heads into its final four regular- season games. It has put the Irish at ease on offense for the first time in a while and brought some surprises from the quarterback. "He's thinking that he touched 19 [miles per hour] on the GPS. I'm calling liar on that," Kelly quipped, referenc- ing Coan's touchdown run. "But he's feeling pretty good about himself right now." ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att.
