Who knows maybe 3-3 if Kizer came back. His turnovers and red zone inefficiency doesn't give me confidence. The running game Notre Dame has so far this year would likely be unrecognizable.
I'm looking forward to great years ahead for Wimbush.
Can someone explain why there's so much focus on what Wimbush can't do?

Whoa...how dare you bring up the name Book. I mean you'll be scolded and laughed at bevayse you know Wimbush is just taking the country by storm and has already been handed the Heisman. Hell he might forego the rest of this season so he doesn't hurt his draft.
I like Wimbush. He's a great athlete.
He can't hit the ocean throwing from the pier though.
He doesn't have to be great at throwing but effective. Neither of which he is.
Just don't tell a few around here bevayse apparently that's blasphemy.
Apples and oranges. Big time. Tebow was inaccurate...but more accurate than Wimbush. That's saying something because BW is a poor passer. Tebow was John riggins thst could throw some.
Wimbush is like Randy Kinder who can't throw at all.
Well, you're the one who compared him to Young and Newton, whose styles of play were no more similar. But I think BW has been improving as a passer. His last two games, his QB rating was higher than before - around 150, which isn't bad.
deshone would have had ability to read the Georgia

pennick ... my cuzzz.... u have to think kizer was at least... worth 2points the Georgia game... I’m not knocking BW...I like BW... I would have liked to see deshone that game.. instead BW.
A lot of kizers turnovers and his red zone inefficiency’s... IMO...had a lot to do with ... poor play calling.
Being able to see read the field earlier and get the ball out on time - alone - will significantly improve Wimbush's accuracy. Many of the poor throws we're seeing are because his brain and his body are out of sync or he's throwing the ball where he intends, but he pulls the trigger after everyone else in the stadium identified the open receiver.
Even in his "better" sophomore year, Kizer had some accuracy issues (especially with one hops) due to some issues with fundamentals. IMO, more often than not, what I think I've seen from Wimbush have resulted from what he is/isn't seeing on the field or a lack of confidence in what he is seeing. When he starts getting the ball out on time consistently, then maybe other things will stick out more. But that's what I see first. And that's something that can can improve.
But IMO he's shown the ability to throw with accuracy when he's decisive in pulling the trigger.

I think the team's mojo was so screwed up last year that everyone (maybe most of all Kizer) was pressing too hard to force plays on their own.
100% spot on. No...101%
BK did NOT put the offense in the best possible position to succeed.
Play calling was idiotic and predictable.
38 drop back in a hurricane is all you have to know.
Empty sets in goaline situations from the five with first and goal. That might have been the dumbest thing ever...but then came the timeout because he might go for it but ultimately punted. I could go on.
BK did NOT put the team in the best possible position to succeed. There will be no coaching edge here my friend.
All you have to look at is the deep in. It's a play that requires patience to allow the reciever to clear the backers or find that hole and sit down. He panics on this play and doesn't throw it anywhere near on time.
I was merely saying in reply to someone that said the only way you win is a dual threat QB. I was just pointing out that in the last dozen years Cam and Vince were the only ones. Both of which are extremely large frame bodies that run in a far different manner than BW. They weren't the best throwers for sure but effective.
No bro. Kizer wasn't the leader that BW is. The number 1 job of the QB is to score points.

I've posted how many times?
Wimbush is a phenomenal talent. Why can't people see what we see in him?
And I was pointing out there was a 3rd one, Tebow. He ran for 57 touchdowns in his career at Florida. There would probably be more, if it wasn't for Alabama winning a bunch of titles with pro-style QBs.
But the college game is dominated by dual-threat QBs now. It's really diverged from the NFL, where pro-style QBs still predominate.
Can’t believe we have fans manufacturing a QB controversy with last year’s QB who is now a pro, and who was 4-8 as our starter last year. We’re off to a great start with Wimbush and his running threat causes all sorts of problems for defending us. As stated previously, I expect his passing to improve weekly, along with the play of our receivers. We’re fortunate to have such a talented young man leading our offense. Kizer is history and Book is a nice back up...end of story.
