We looked a lot better with Book this past weekend, but I don't trust him against high level defenses

he played pretty well against lsu's defense in the bowl game. i think this is the qb they have been waiting for. saturday was a different team.

I don't think he played all that well against LSU, to be honest. He was 13/18 for 109 yards and 1 TD/1 INT until that miracle catch by Boykin. He had at least two and maybe more throws that probably should have been picked off.

He also struggled mightily against Miami last year as well. He looked decent against UNC but nothing spectacular.

I agree that our offense looked much better Saturday, and that's mostly because Book is a much better facilitator than is Wimbush. But I think Wake Forest's defense sucks, and I'll need to see something similar from him this weekend to really buy in.

This is also like the fourth time Kelly has had situations like this with his QB's in his tenure (Crist/Rees, Golson/Rees, Golson/Zaire, Zaire/Kizer, and now Wimbush/Book), and it's never gone completely smoothly.
