My understanding from reading about the Holtz years is that Rice was an above-average but not great athlete and he was definitely not a great passer. If you look at his stats for the NC year, you wonder how ND won anything: about 700 yards rushing and 51% completion rate. Rice's stats are in no way comparable to Wimbush's stats last year. But Rice is recognized for his leadership, his heart, his fearlessness and his teammates credited him with making them better. The problems with Wimbush are not about system.
