To me it comes down to when Book leaves, seeing if Book's success was from being under Kelly or if Kelly's recent success was more tied to having Book (who is 30-4 as a starter and unbeaten at home).
If we are starting over from scratch (seeing Kelly's old type seasons) when Book leaves, sigh..
It's really the difference.
Book has maximized his talent and Kelly deserves credit for it.
Clemson is just better, especially with Lawrence.
Kelly's only run here that meets minimum expectations, started the game that Book replaced Wimbush at QB vs LSU.
So now what happens when Book leaves... do we find out last 3 years were merely fool's gold?
a bad day. Almost all their players are a better than ours so play calling and finishing is key.
Don't even bother looking at who will start next year. It's not pretty.
as 8 other good teams those past years. Our recruiting has gotten better but it is still only 8th or 9th this year. And Book plays well but he is never going to be as good as Lawrence or Watson. I thought Book played his heart out with little help from Rees today or the line today or the receivers being able to get open today.
There's no talent at WR, and Book has no vision.
That's a bad mix.
Just sad.
ND had an elite year from a QB, Kizer, but that was wasted by a refusal of the HC to recognize a terrible mistake in his choice of DC.
winning drives in 20116 and never did it.
Danye Crist - 5 Star - BK got him killed
Kizer - 4 star - Only played cause of injury and was the better QB from the beginning. Got hot and BK cooled him off.
Jurko - 4 star - Better athlete, better arm, but too confident, got in the doghouse...BK Ran em off
Now Buchner on tape looks great (don't bother about elite 11 crap) been buoying around 5-star but is BK going to let him play up to his ability or manage him not to make mistakes...Take a guess.
We lack elite QBs
That game would have been far closer with 4-5 other Top 10 QBs...
Book is short and won’t play in NFL

I know nothing of Buchner except concerns expressed about his attempt to change his throwing motion showing up after he showed up at some QB camps.
Trask, Fields, Jones, the Clemson backup
Easily 5-7 QBs better than Book all of whom would make that score closer
Notre Dame doesn’t need a lying slut who has repeatedly turned his arrogant back on us.
Unfortunately Kelly still has not fielded a great QB and we are in year 100 (I think).
Absolutely NOT....send the blitz and make him make reads and its over!!
Is solid. Need a top QB and playmakers (which I am hopeful they addressed this recruiting cycle). I get why people are pissed, but these kids won 16 straight and lost to one of 2 teams that dominate college football recently.
But as soon as something bad happens, they roll over
