2. Ian Book gets comfortable
Ian Book has not looked like himself in the first three games of the season so far. Last week book was forced to throw 47 times for the Irish and was the main reason the Irish were able to take the Georgia Bulldogs down to the fourth quarter only to fall short.
The Irish will have to be more balanced on Saturday in order to be more successful, and this will help Book open up some passing lanes for himself to get into higher percentage throwing situations.
The Virginia defense has been a strength for the Cavs. Only giving up 188 passing yards a game and being stingy with the run as well. They have not played a high caliber team like the Irish and could get shell shocked early if Ian Book gets the crowd involved with a couple of quick touchdowns.
Ian Book will look more like the player that we saw last year in this matchup at home. With a chance to come back home and get a win to get back on track, expect the Senior to settle down and make good throws against Virginia.
