Does Kelly stay with Kizer the whole game?

[88ND]

He wouldn't be so inclined to switch at times from Kizer to Wimbush would he?

I mean he has to recognize the other returning starters have worked very hard ...don't they deserve the best chance at winning in lieu of saving a red shirt. ?

Burning a year on a player is not ideal but we have to win today. Moreover you never know what HS QB could emerge that is even better in the next two years. Winning by and large makes recruiting easier as a whole.

If Kizer stumbles and this high powered machine can't score...I think he HAS to switch.
Thoughts.....???

I think he plans on playing Winbush some irregardless of how Kizer plays.

Coaches go with whoever they think gives them the best chance to win, so I don't think Kelly tries to preserve Wimbush's red shirt at the expense of winning. I expect Kizer to perform well and Kelly to stick with him the entire game, and for Kelly to look for opportunities to get Wimbush playing experience when we have good leads going into the fourth quarter in future games.

for some reason, I get the feeling that DK has just not gotten Kelly's favor yet; he will have to earn that unlike a couple others (TR & EG). Go DK!

I think WImbush gets the last 2 series of the game. Once ND is up 20.
Game ends up 37-24

At this point, I doubt that conserving the redshirt is a goal anymore.

If Kizer stumbles, whether he gets pulled will have a lot to do with what Wimbush has shown in his week of practice.

Kizer will play this whole game because it will be close and the most experienced QB needs to be in there.

Kelly said he's working on a package for Wimbush and there is no redshirt, I'm sure it includes 60 yard passes to Fuller, Brown, and/or Robinson, not to mention ESB. I think we see Wimbush regardless of DK's performance. Neither QB really has the advantage in experience.

Go Irish!

Might be in the game if GT is up big.

can't wait to see what Wimbush can do but... he has been in program for several months... where Kizer is very capable with over a year in the system. http://www.uhnd.com/articles/football/battle-notre-dames-2-quarterback-21757/

seahawk - That article is from May, much has changed since then. The trick for Kelly is to play both QB's without affecting the confidence of Kizer. If Kizer loses his helmet, Wimbush is in. Better have him see the speed of the college game on Kelly's terms, not have that decided by fate.

The red shirt is off Wimbush. Might as well play him and get him some game experience.

john, the article gave insight, fwiw.... Wimbush will get some action but this will not be a two QB team....imho KIZER IS DA MAN
