Embarrassing!!!!! He’s been starting games for 2 years against better teams then this. Is it book, is it Tommy again what is this garbage?

I agree 100% on a few plays. But they were a few. Most were far from horseshoes. I think book simply suffers from trust issues, and needs to get popped or mad sometimes to do what he's supposed to do (and that's totally on him). But OLs typically don't just look good in one phase, and bad in another. They've looked good a couple plays, but overall they've been bad. And they've looked horrible run blocking, and just not buying the "but they're consistently giving him a pocket" stuff.

Hard to really tell on the run game without watching a replay. Seems like I saw 9 guys near the LOS on most plays. The defensive game plan against us seems pretty simple. Load the line, stop the run and know you're not getting beat over the top.

Kelly and Rees insist on running. Such arrogance. And Book is awful. Not a single encouraging thing about the offense. ND very well could lose this game especially as the weather will get worse

Starting to feel a bit like one of those USF/Syracuse games where getting out of our own way just seems impossible.

But this is the same conversation everytime. He is 100% responsible for the phases of the game he is terrible at. And he’s still terrible at them. The OL hasn’t been good but neither is he. If he was such a good QB, then he’d make things happen when he does have a clean pocket.

We had no spring ball and a rocky fall camp interrupted by COVID. IMO expecting us to come out of the gate firing on all cylinders is a little much. Certainly don't feel very good about what I'm seeing, though.

I feel like we’re always making excuses for the piss poor starts.. I’m willing to bet Clemson smashes through Wake tonight.

Kizer was the genius that left early. Crazy how QB talent dies at south bend

I have said it for years. Brian Kelly can recruit players but cannot even develop film with a polaroid camera.
