Jack Coan – Quarterback

Ever since Jack Coan came in off the bench to help lead Notre Dame football over Virginia Tech he has been a different quarterback for the Irish in a good way. Earlier in the year he had some up and down games to start off his Notre Dame career but really has settled in nicely as of late.

The graduate transfer in Coan finished the night going 16 of 24 for 213 yards in the air and one touchdown pass. Who also had Jack Coan rushing for a long touchdown run?

The North Carolina defense sure didn’t as Coan caught everybody by surprise when he motored his way for a 21 yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

Jack Coan shows off the wheels! 💨@NDFootball back on top 24-20.

Jack Coan is great at getting the ball out of his hands quickly and into the offensive playmakers for Notre Dame.

He really is a good game manager out there making sure that he does all he can do to not turn over the ball. Coan is playing his best football right now and the Irish faithful hope that continues throughout the month of November.
