The offense is limited with Book at QB

(and even more with Kelly as HC)

Yes--Book was an upgrade from Wimbush, but the offense didn't exactly light it up with him at QB. And he had a very bad game when it counted the most.

Reports are that Book looks good this Spring except that he still can't pass it deep worth a shit. That is ok, except when you play a really good and talented team(Clemson).

Book is basically Tommy Rees with better wheels and a slightly better arm.
In order to take advantage of the speed of the Soph WR's and beat elite teams--this offense is going to eventually need Jurkovec at QB. It is up to the ND coaches to have him ready.
