Confidence

[Izo]

Problem . That's gotta be cleared up before next season . Don't want to hear about Wimbush 's 70 % passing in high school .it is obvious the ND staff in not confident in the passing game

Wimbush in not a college passer .Stanford loading the box

As someone else posted teams will give up a 80 yard pass as they know ND will go 3 and out the next 4-5 series. Until BW can get to 70% or above teams will stack the box and the offense will go no where.

Let’s shoot for 60% since that would be a monumental increase from his current completion percentage.

yet the few people who pointed out his obvious deficiencies were shouted down until the Miami game

It should be a wide open competition between Wimbush and Jurkovec. If Brandon can't improve as complete passer, move on to the next guy and don't hold the team down.

He was showing decent improvement. The Miami game seemed to set his confidence back to where it was post Georgia. He's playing incredibly tight and hesitant. He seems desperate not to turn the ball over... He's always been slow making his reads but now he's not even being decisive when he makes a decision.

Still doesn’t explain why we can run for shit with our oline, and why our D no longer forces turnovers.

You have probably forgotten more about football than I'll ever know, but I would still argue his improvement was minimal.

I'd say it was his decisiveness that I was becoming happier with. He has a rocket of an arm when he just trusts the read and makes the throw. When he tries to protect the ball he gets whacky with his mechanics and becomes a head case.

We flat out suck. And Kelly needs to go, as well as Wimbush

But nobody wants the job!

Often waits too long, like the second interception in the end zone.

So positive Kelly will get it right in season 9!!!!

Swarbrick is stuck with Kelly for a few more years.And the 8-4,9-3 records ,and some clunker years in between .Can somebody please hire BK

Also mix up the running game....go under center and hand the ball off ...allow the RB some momentum

In the 3 rd quarter ,moving the ball really well on the ground ripping off. 5,6 yards at a time ,then someone calls a pass play .Offensive play interference .field goal . Then we get a nice punt return to Stanford's 20s .A field goal
Stanford intercepts Wimbush, a ND fumble , another Stanford interception ofWimbush pass in the end zone
3 rd quarter ,beginning of diaster

Does Wimbush show any leadership or emotion . Not a top level college quarterback. .
