VIDEO: Notre Dame Takes Late Lead Over Virginia Tech as Ian Book Scrambles Into End Zone

No.16 Notre Dame's performance against un-ranked Virginia Tech on Saturday was nothing short of embarrassing, but they have just escaped by the skin of their teeth. With no timeouts remaining, quarterback Ian Book led an impressive drive in the final minute to get the Fighting Irish within striking distance -- they were trailing 20-14. On third-and-goal from the seven yard line, Brian Kelly called a QB draw and Book displayed exceptional patience to find the end zone and give Notre Dame the lead, which they took on the subsequent extra point.

Was Book a running back in his past life? Because that was an outstanding touchdown scamper. He absolutely bamboozled the Hokies defense by cutting outside when he appeared to be stopped in his tracks.

It wasn't pretty, but Notre Dame improved to 6-2 on the year.
