time whereas the last time they let Book rollout and run much more. This was a poorly planned game. Book is not a pocket passer. I don't know why we continue to call plays to keep him in the pocket. Book's strength is playing like Steve Young and Fran Tarkenton.
Just let him roll and run, throw on the run, or pick up 5 to 12 yards with his feet. It's really that easy with Book. Look at every successful game he's had or every game where he's been great. He started with his feet.
Urban Meyer or any other top offensive mind would have a field day with a kid like this because all the plays would align to his strength instead of trying to force him into a dropback passer.
I can't beat this dead horse enough.

- Board opinion: Is it scheme/coaching or talent with ND offense in big games? - jray - 8:53am 12/20/20

- 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
- In my opinion, it boils down to Book - MarkHarman - 9:19am 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
