In watching other teams play, I never see other QBs hold onto the ball as long as he does for as many plays as he does. Not even close. He does this even in games where the opponent is weak.
Herbstreit said our receivers were getting open but that Book had to throw it sooner. It's almost as if the game still goes too fast for him and it takes him a while to process the receiver is open. By the time he does, it's too late.
A perfect example is the misfire to Davis. Davis broke wide open, but instead of throwing him the ball immediately, Book took another 3-4 steps before doing so.
In my opinion, it boils down to Book

- I think it is hard to judge the scheme because Book never gave WRs a chance to win a 50/50 ball [NT] - jrdjr84 - 11:34am 12/20/20
- Easy. Lack of preperation. Look at ND openers, coming off bye weeks or bowl / playoff - oldirish - 10:29am 12/20/20
- Coaching. When adversity hits they seem to just fold up. Can never muster a response in big games. [NT] - jonpaultoo - 10:14am 12/20/20

- Well, it's basically the same D as before. The play calling kept him in as a pocket passer this - oldirish - 7:15pm 12/21/20

- I agree with this - Mark - 9:54am 12/20/20
- He won't throw into a one on one matchup even if we have the bigger better receiver [NT]

- It looked like Rees coached scared yesterday. On 11/7 it was the opposite. He was aggressive. - NDavenue - 9:07am 12/20/20
- Rees was Book’s QB mentor. He taught him everything he knows. - Aragoto - 9:41am 12/20/20
