Wisconsin head coach discusses Jack Coan ahead of reunion

Who has the quarterback advantage Saturday?

One of the biggest storylines in the biggest game in college football this weekend is Notre Dame quarterback Jack Coan taking on the team he used to play for, Wisconsin.

Earlier this week Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst was asked about taking on Coan after coaching him for years.

“He’s always going to work and continue to work to improve. Certainly, there’s a storyline there. I think it’s important that it’s Wisconsin versus Notre Dame. I think we have respect for Jack. We appreciated who he was as a player, person and teammate here. But it’s Wisconsin versus Notre Dame.” – Paul Chryst

Coan has completed 62 of 98 passes this year for 828 yards and eight touchdowns while being intercepted twice.  If Notre Dame is to win on Saturday one would assume Coan will have to connect for a couple of big plays much like Penn State did in their week one victory over the Badgers.
