hope we don't see him and Kizer needs all the snaps he can get including late in games, but he's now number two and I'm guessing we see him at some point. That leaves Montgomery Van Gorder at the three QB.
 
2. QB - D. Kizer | 6-4, 230 . Tanker of arm!!!
3. QB - B. Wimbush | 6-1, 216 Not ready to play
4. QB - M. VanGorder | 6-0, 215 next Joe Montana!!!!
 
The only thing I have heard Kelly say about Wimbush was that he had a cannon for an arm and had some footwork issues that were cleaned up during camp.

We are going to see him soon and once he gets on the field he won't be coming off of it. The guy is a stud.

Go Irish!
 
Wimbush has to get some experience this season and reps. He cannot afford to redshirted, he is one hit away from coming into the game.

if they continue to run the high risk offense we me see Jaylon at QB!

Remember we only know Zach Collaros because Pike got hurt; TR because DC got hurt, TR because EG got hurt and then MZ gets hurt (note: EG played to not get hurt ( he knew defenses only wanted the football and so surrendered it willingly).
Any volunteers for QB?

Coach Kotite is back.
 
I think Winbush will play regardless of Kizer getting hurt. He will give ND another dimension. Kizer is mobile but not a great runner. They aren't going to abandon the offense that they have been working on all season...nor should they.

Agree that Wimbush will get the playing time regardless. Kelly will have to ease him in without affecting Kizer's confidence. Should explain that the team needs both QB's to have playing time. From there, the cream will rise to the top.

I agree. Am I wrong to assume that Wimbush is similar to Zaire in that both are dual threat QB's who are almost the same height and weight. However, I don't know if Brandon is faster than Malik. The coaching staff certainly has their work cut out.
 
If Kizer takes hold of the job then Winbush will not need to play. He just might but Winbush may have more ability then DK. It is going to be fun to watch. Does anyone else remember when ND had to insert Dillingham when our QB got injured against BC? Thankfully those days our over...I hope.

Even if DK plays lights out against GT, I think BK will get Winbush some experience in the UMASS game. I hate to say this, but from the early summer, ND is now on its 3rd string QB. We have 11 games to go.
 
I have been a huge Zaire fan for the last couple of years.

If Wimbush finds a way to be a start this year. Zaire will have his hands getting the starting spot back. Wimbush has a great big arm. And is very elusive in the pocket.

I am sure he is still working on wrapping his head around the play book. And I'm sure kelly is already working on limited play packages in case he does see the field. But I'm not joking when I say he might have the most upside of any QB on the roster currently.

Maybe, but that offense did get the QB hurt. So now that we're down to 2 scholly QBs, I'd like to see fewer QB runs, like no more than 5 per game, to try to keep them less banged-up.

As far as redshirting QBs, it seems to be pretty useless nowadays anyways, at least for blue-chip QBs. Golson used his extra year to play for FSU. Keil used his to play for Cincinnati. Others go pro. So I'm not too concernced about burning Wimbush's.
 
They better have him ready the way this season is going, he may be the starter at some point soon.

Irish blooded -- it would be much more entertaining if you showed redfield effectively playing the ball in the air rather than showing a meaningless cheap shot that cost us 7 pts

When I find another highlight gif I like I'll change it

For now it annoys the few Michigan fans we have here. And that gives me a smile

ND will be fine. Kelly knows how to direct a team to an 8-4 record. He has a lot of experience in doing so.
 
Unlikely Wimbush would have been at ND for 5 years anyway. As far as his running ability, he's mobile, but nothing like Zaire.
How'd that top notch running ability work out for Zaire? Not so good. His moronic coach ran him until he literally broke him. The moment Kelly understands the lifeblood of any football team is its QB, will be a great thing that could elevate the program some day.
