re: QBs under Brian Kelly

Kelly never had a good QB at Notre Dame..the last good one he had was Tony Pike at Cincy. His QB recruiting and evaluation is...questionable

It's not that. They go after the same QBs as everybody else, but why would a star QB go there if they almost never have good WRs and run a basic spread attack? And it's not like they were awful at QB.

2013 Tommy Rees 3257 yards 27 TD 13 int
2014 Everett Golson 3446 yards 29 TD 14 int, 280 rush yards 7 TDs
2015 Deshone Kizer 2800 yards 21 TD 10 int, 525 rush yards 10 TD
2016 Deshone Kizer 2925 pass yards 26 TD 9 int, 472 rush yards 8 TD
2018 Ian Book (9.5 games) 2626 yards 19 TD 7 int, 280 rush yards 4 TD
2019 Ian Book 3034 yards 34 TD 6 int, 546 rush yards 4 TD
2020 Ian Book 2830 yards 15 TD 3 int, 490 rush yards 9 TD
2021 Jack Coan 3150 yards 25 TD 7 int


They ain't the best, they ain't the worst, but damn KIzer with these WRs would have put on a show. Even Ian Book.
