As I stated in the other thread, this leaked on Monday. The source is a GA who ran his mouth all over campus.
And they both will be playing. Ever who has the hot hand will stay in. So Wimbush will still be playing.
Hope the two QB thing works out ?

Who is everyone? Seriously asking not being a smart ass. Haven’t seen much of the move at all. Been at work all dayJust an update, the move is being universally ripped by everyone.
Most think ND needs to taylor the offense around Wimbush’s strengths. The others are saying if you are going to play Book, you don’t do it where they are splitting reps 50/50. You just play him & give him all the practice reps.
Just to be clear here, Book is not the new QB. They are splitting the reps 50/50.
Can't hurt, I'm not at all impressed with wimbush.Hope the two QB thing works out ?
I think the last time they did this was the opener at Texas in 2016. Kizer then won the job by clearly outplaying Zaire in that game. However, if nobody clearly outplays the other guy, they may stay with the dual system longer this time.
True, but Zaire lost it when he returned and didn't get it done.Zaire was the starter until breaking his ankle against Virginia

Think how this will affect the children. Whatever shall be, shall be. Being none of us are at the practice sessions or QB meetings or the staff meetings for that matter, let's see how this all plays out. As a fan, I don't care what analysts say about the move. They are on the outside looking in. Don't tell me they have inside unnamed sources too. Ah, those inside unnamed sources. Anyway, You guys lose sleep over this and I will have one heck of a time watching....and enjoying the WF game. I do agree with the assessment that as poor as the WF pass defense is, this game would have been perfect for BW and I also agree that the offense should have been geared for BW's strengths. Aren't these two QBs just holding the position for Phil anyway?
Transfer and leave an ND degree on the table? You're the idiot.Proving once again that BK is a complete idiot ..... but this is not news .... I said it before the season started ... if Wimbush was smart he would've transferred right after the LSU game
Yes, I know. I appear to be the only one not shook up about this turn of events. I wish we had one QB but apparently, we don't. So now we have 1A and 1B with 1C in waiting. I don't feel all that optimistic about the rest of the season but I'm willing to let this all play out. No other choice.It’s not unnamed sources.
Brian Kelly said at his presser tonight that they will be splitting snaps in the game & the reps have been 50/50 in practice.

Not a big fan of this, but maybe BK feels it is necessary.
I don't think Book is bad, I just don't think he has a lot of arm strength. He seems to labor quite a bit to get it 35yrds down field.

bk is a genius. Keeping WF guessing, smhBK just finished his Thursday PC.
Would not name a starter but said both will play.
agreed. as long as they win the how is of little concern to me.I’m going to wait and see. This could all just be gamemenship by Kelly. This could just be a quick change then change back. Book might fit better, who knows. I just want to win & don’t care how. But I don’t like the timing of it.
It's called giving BW more opportunity to see if he could catch lightning in a bottle.Well....
I don’t judge until I see what happens.
But I don’t understand this move now. They had all spring & fall to figure this situation out. By all accounts Wimbush was easily the starter. So, I guess we will see Saturday. One person (who initially told us earlier in the week about this) thinks this might be a situation of ND trying to give Shaw at Stanford more to worry about. But it could also be ND just wanting more passing. We will see.

All any of us can do is wait and see, maybe throw out a few message board posts to make the waiting easier. But I don't like this move either. Not because I have strong feelings one way or another about either QB. I think both guys capable, BW gives you an immensely higher ceiling and Book gives you a better grasp of the mental aspect and consistency. BW will win games by being the best player on the field, Book by putting his play makers in position to be the best players on the field. My concern is that the coaching staff (many are blaming Long...personally it has a BK feel to me but the results are the same so it's moot) has decided that they want BWs ceiling in an offense tailored to Books skills. It's not the first time we've seen this at Notre Dame and it's never ended particularly well.I’m going to wait and see. This could all just be gamemenship by Kelly.

My hope this Saturday is one of these guys takes the reigns and makes it their offense, if they do the rest of the season could be a lot of fun to watch.
