Truly a great and gusty move by Kelly to understand that even in being 3-0 this team wasn’t going anywhere. What Book lacks in explosiveness he more than makes up for with precision passing, decisiveness and an ability to be elusive enough to keep broken plays alive. Bars injury is huge and I feel terrible for him and the team. Trip to Blacksburg will be quite a test and there are certainly other trap games ahead but this team should be playing into November with a chance at the playoff.

In reply to Tom. Let's hope that Williams can learn how to stay on the field. I loved seeing his first touch go 45-yds for a TD. That had me off of the couch and screaming like mad!! STAY ON THE FIELD DEXTER, THE TEAM NEEDS YOU!!

I, too, was glad to be wrong. Book and Williams have certainly lit the fire. Let’s hope the intensity endures as the season continues.

Since Book was installed as starting QB the average score has been – 47-22, an average winning margin of 25 points as opposed to 6 points.

What QB controversy?

Stanford is a very good football team. Their quarterback is very accurate and their lines are good on both sides of the ball, but they got spanked. There were a lot of little green guys chopping down redwoods last night.

I’m speechless and also thrilled to have been proven wrong that ND would give this away in the final seconds. ND actually played four quarters of football instead of their usual 2.5 and learned how to finish off an opponent when their on the ropes by making plays on both sides of the ball instead of letting them hang around. And they excelled in all three phases instead of just the usual one or two.

While Book may not have the cannon arm and athleticism of Wimbush he’s still a good athlete and his passes have a nicer touch and better accuracy than Wimbush’s. Book also enables Chip Long to open up the playbook and keep defenses on their heels.

Great win. Defense played fantastic after first quarter. Good tackling most of the game. Boykin turned some heads. He appears to be clutch and rises in big games. Dexter Williams is the man. Very explosive.

In terms of coaching and play calling (save the screen pass on 3rd and 14), the best of the BK era. Kelly deserves a lot of credit for this game and the balls to put Book in over Wimbush.

Impressive. A serious butt-kicking against a serious opponent who has had our number for the last few seasons.
I hope Bars is ok, Ruhland filled in well.
Recruits who were there must have enjoyed themselves.

I predicted Irish 45-20/ Pretty close! Irish dominant in all phases against a top 10 team. When was the last time
we saw that/ Great QB play. If he stays healthy, Irish can go 12-0!
Defense, especially Tillery, Tranquil, D line played outstanding
