He can't chuck the rock, that's the issue.

If he has to put air under the ball, it stays up a long time and the Bama D will get to it faster than our receivers will. ND doesn't have speed
receivers.

Bama will bring 5 on almost every offensive play and the scary thing about that (as if that isn't scary enough) they're skilled at defending
the screen pass and ND receivers can't get downfield fast enough for Book (who is very slow at delivering the ball) to get them the ball
even if he could read the secondary which he doesn't do fast enough.

Sorry but all Book's throws will become 50/50 balls. And we know, he often throws late and when he hurries, it's usually behind the receiver.

Kyren Williams will have to have an unbelievable game both running and pass blocking in order for ND to have a chance and you can
add into that the Tight Ends too.

And that's just the offense

Outside of Hamilton, ND's secondary will get beat all day long because they really aren't fast enough and don't tackle well enough.
This is going to be a blow-out. Sorry for the disappointing news.

I hope I'm way wrong, but even with the many skill players on ND, it won't be enough without good coaching.
