Will Wimbush step up to be a good starting QB or not? Just wondering...

Well can't be sure of anything but the kid has skills to get the job done, hopefully he and Book can stay healthy so they don't have to burn Davis's red shirt. That is the only issue with this happening and Zaire leaving the depth at QB with a red shirt freshman back up and true freshman 3rd stringer.

Zaire is probably saying this right now "Man [Kizer].... you're kidding me... you decide to leave AFTER I transfer?"

Kinda hard to say. Will the OL get better (what is McGlinchey and Nelson going to do). I think Wimbush has all the skills and talent that the other two had. He now has all spring and summer to get ready.

Wimbush will be fine. I think Sanford is a heck of a coach. I just hope Kelly eases Wimbush in and runs the ball a lot more than this year. I think Adams, assumes he stays healthy, is the best running back ND has had since Denson.

2012 redux. They dumbed it down for Golson and voila, the best running game ever under Kelly.

The defense will need to play much better than they have to even come close to that. If the defense isn't stopping anyone from scoring then it puts more pressure on the offense and depending on the score can force them to get away from what would make them successful. Hiring the right DC will have as big an impact on Wimbush Era as anything.

Yep. 2012 doesn't happen without the defensive leadership on that team. Offensively, it will come down to Kelly's comfort level with Wimbush and how much of the playbook he'll let him run. Its funny how these guys talk about certain players and then forget about it the next minute. Kelly's comments about Wimbush last summer made him sound as good as Kizer and Zaire. Kinda how at the beginning of the season, the only RB putting out was Dexter Williams, who still didn't get his share of carries.

I think Wimbush is a combo of MZ and kizer. I wish he was a little bigger . I think he add excitement to the QB position. Let's all be honest kizer took a step back this year.

Nah he knew. That's why I thought it was weird that he left unless Kelly told MZ that wimbush passed him.

With how Zaire looked last year I'm sure Wimbush had passed him and he probably didn't need Kelly to tell him.

It seems like everything took a step backward this year.

Man it gets me ready for this up coming year. This kid is special and I been saying that when he was in high school. I wish he was a little bigger but like I said he is a combo of MZ and Kizer. That arm just just out and the way he works with in the pocket when pressure comes. I did notice he does need to work on keeping that ball closer to him. In college they will make you fumble.

I think Wimbush will be fine, it's all going to come down to whether the defense can do anything. (For the fourth straight year)
