1. Jack Coan, QB

Jack Coan had a really good night under center for Notre Dame against Virginia. He finished the game completing 15-of-20 passes for 132 yards with three passing touchdowns. Really the only mistake he made was his interception trying to force something that was not there.

It was just about a month ago that Jack Coan was benched against Virginia Tech on the road before coming in late in the second half to rally Notre Dame and pick up a huge win.

The grad transfer in Coan since that moment has been very good for Notre Dame and has looked like a completely different quarterback compared to the one we saw early on during moments of the year. Coan is one of the major keys in why Notre Dame is one of the hottest teams in the county and finds themselves right in the thick of the playoff discussion.

Jack Coan and the rest of the Notre Dame football team returns home next week to take on Georgia Tech inside Notre Dame Stadium. The Irish will look to improve their current streak of wins over ACC to 24 in a row.
