Book em Dano. Murder one, two counts.

Oh SHIT!!

What a bummer, FSU is weak vs the pass and strong vs the run.

Book is about 12 times quicker than Wimbush. Better rolling out of the pocket, too.
And a much smarter passer and runner. The receivers don't have to wait on Book's passes. Sad Luck. If we squeak by FS and Book isn't ready for Syracuse, PLUNK goes the season.
Keep the faith, Bros, Wimbush is undefeated this year, including UM game.

Will he be on stand by or will he be wearing street clothes?

Street clothes, but . . . .

I assume Booker will get the start?

FSU will stack the box make Wim beat them with his arm. I think he's up for it! Fingers crossed!!!

Wimbush is the perfect QB to beat this in theory
The problem is he has shown consistent issues running the zone read.
I wonder if there was any value to him seeing Ian Book run it for six weeks
Not just the zone read, but the entire offense. Seeing the right way to do it in practice can make a big difference. I'd also note he's been practicing an Ian Book game plan over this time period.
We will see a lot of zone-read.

I hope Brandon has been working on that these past weeks, then.
I'd rather see QB sweeps, draws, and free-lancing.
You can still run against 8-in-the-box looks
Wimbush needs to make his reads. If he does (and he has in the past), the Irish will still be able to run the ball. My guess is that when he throws it will be deep -- he's better at deep crossing routes and streaks than he is at short timing passes.
We'll be fine.
A setback but still helps to have a senior backup who is 12-3 as starter & set QB rush/ TD records
rather than a frosh starting his first game as did FSU last week. Your point about deep routes is spot on. Wimbush will be working with receivers who have progressed significantly in recent games and part of their job will be to exploit Brandon's strengths. FSU presents big opportunities for us to mine deep ball. This will in turn help rush.
Hope the O-Line learns to run block this week.
Otherwise it could be 9-1.
Re: Hope the O-Line learns to run block this week.
FSU has been a dumpster fire, but they still have freaky, highly recruited Athletes everywhere especially on D. if their front 7 lives up to even half their potential this could be another ugly Senior Night
Very True, I almost picked FSU over ND but adversity builds champions!

Let's look at it another way...
Wimbush plays well, as does whole team, and staff must decide whether to rush Book back for Syracuse game.
Well, I guess we will see what Wimbush can do
Hopefully we can force FSU into a couple of turnovers.
Jurkovec, too
If Wimbush can't get the offense rolling, don't be surprised to see Phil Jurkovec being thrust into the limelight.
All Hands on Deck
Whatever it takes we have to get the W.
Too bad Monty VanGorder left.

If it has to be one of the last 3 games...this would be the one I would choose.
As positive a spin as I can put on this news...
Hope they can get him well for Syracuse.
Re: "Ian Book out for Florida State game"
#$%^ It will be interesting to see what happens to the point spread. Makes it a toss up in my mind. C'mon snow for Sat. night in South Bend.
I think there is supposed to be 1-2 inches the night before.

Wimbush will rise....

Oh well...it was a nice run
We will get early Flashes of good Wimbush and then the poor accuracy, poor decision making and TOs will start to roll....I guess one advantage is the Holes prepped for Book
Also FSU is not very good.
I think we need Book for Syracuse, not FSU.
You might be right, but I have more confidence in him then u do. Pls God, let me be right!
Definitely seems to fade in the 2nd half

Bloomfield here.....
I agree, I've been in LA for years, but sometimes it's hard letting go of the Jersey.

Get back there periodically on business

Exactly. Get to NYC once a year, but golfing in winter overcame nostalgia.

I hear you
Most of NJ is a shit hole now
Re: Jeseymick showing some loyalty, I'm born and raised Jersey City and Newark, Wimbush rules.
His play seems to be determined by his level of confidence. If he makes some good throws and good decisions it tends to fuel his confidence and we get "Good" Wimbush. However, as soon as he makes a boneheaded read or bad decision his game goes into the toilet and he plays tentative and it snowballs from there....my 2 cents....If he can be confident Wimbush...ie...USC 2017 we can destroy these punks....However, if he is the scared, tentative, bumbling Miami 2017 Wimbush we are in for a long and cold Senior Night.
Accurate, and sounds like many of us.
