My take on the WIN for the Irish !!

F S U was the first team we played with speed and it showed . Norvell is a good coach, he will bring them back .
I liked those option plays they ran out of the shot gun. The best way Norveil could play a bad hand.
 
Thought this was one of, if not the best games of Book’s career. He stayed in the pocket, made some absolutely great throws, showed confidence in himself and his receivers, and was highly efficient as a runner. His misses were few and far between. We can talk about his poor throws on the one screen play, the three yard miss on the scramble, or the overthrow over the top; but that’s a pretty slim portfolio of errors in an otherwise excellent outing. Damn, if He can build on this and show this level of trust in his OL and his receivers and himself, he may yet become the QB that Bodi has hyped, and that we all hope for.

Yes ! Validation from TELX ! And Kevin Austin has the potential to be GREAT ! But in the meantime Javon McKinley is making plays ! Just like good ole Miles Boykin !
 
Do you think the level of competition will be somewhat problematic for ND! When a team is fed a group of lesser teams, week after week, then they take the field against a team that likely will be more talented and just as big and just as fast and just as well coached, how do you see that going? Will it be another, “Todo, we’re not in Kansas anymore“ response?

Figures you would conjure up Judy Garland.

The high throw to Kyren on the run was just awful. Had it been in the breadbasket, he ws off to the races. I saw only one defender and it looks like he would be blocked. Also bullet to Wilkins wasn't needed . A decent pass would've gotten some yardage. I think he panics[hurries] still. He is getting better in the pocket but he will never be comfortable there.

Real Bad pass but still should have been caught

Kyren should have caught that pass. Joe Wilkins should have definately caught that pass.

Book can only do so much. He can't cover the ball in gorilla glue and run down the receiver and stick the ball in their hands.

Would you also critique some of Brady’s, Brees’s and Mahomes’s misses because I know that they don’t complete 100 % of their passes either.

thanks
