Sheeeeesh. They looked sloppy but so did pretty much everyone yesterday. Not even Clemson was in mid-season form.
Book has a ceiling and he didn't look great yesterday which is concerning but he was also missing his top two weapons - Kevin Austin and Braden Lenzy. This offense will look MUCH different with a legit #1 in Austin and Lenzy's speed lined up all over the field.
Add in the incoming class of Tyler Buchner and a wide receiving corps potentially of Deion Colzie, Lorenzo Styles, and Jayden Thomas and it's easy for me to see why Notre Dame might want to let that play out.
There is also the 19 straight home wins as of yesterday too. Notre Dame is now 34-6 in their last 40 games.
