      - 1600 is max again. 80s ND was low mid 1200s, now a shade under 1400. [NT] - ND521 - 1:49am 12/23/20

  - How did Dabo get his first NC with classes on avg ranked lower than BK's in the same period? - Karamello - 8:57pm 12/22/20
    - You answered the question. Deshaun Watson. - NDavenue - 9:08pm 12/22/20
      - You are right on. This does not mean Book is not capable, it means he is just not great enough to - THEISMANCARR - 1:25pm 12/23/20
      - You think if BK had Watson he's coaching him up the way Dabo did? Right. - Karamello - 9:30pm 12/22/20
        hell, you and I could have coached Watson. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 1:25pm 12/23/20
        
        Kizer was unwatchable in his 1st Spring game. Kelly LeFleur & Sanford coached & he matured. Malik's - ND521 - 11:43pm 12/22/20
        Malik's injury was awful, but he was a horrible fit for Kelly's offense. Kelly's requires a huge - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:37am 12/23/20

        I was hoping Wimbush would be our Deshaun Watson. Unfortunately he just wasn't a very good QB. [NT] - NDavenue - 7:12am 12/23/20
        Yup. Great kid, wrong position, but his speed and arm strength kept us all hoping. [NT] - ND521 - 11:18am 12/23/20
        And the hype. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:05pm 12/23/20
        
        Does BK really coach the QBs? Anyway, what contradicts your contention is... - NDavenue - 10:36pm 12/22/20
        
        I was going to say Watson would prolly only have 3 touches by his Sr yr and out of position. [NT] - Jerseymick - 9:43pm 12/22/20
      - ...and didn't win it until Watson's last year at Clemson. - ND_in_DRO - 9:17pm 12/22/20
