Nope. Doesn’t take long for young people to mesh together. Still have 8 more weeks.
What a horrible take. How about you educate yourself on his time at ND before spouting off idiotic takes.
I’m not saying I don’t want him to play. I believe I specifically said that I want him to get playing time this year and they can even be meaningful minutes. But I still don’t want to blow a redshirt on a guy who has no experience and isn’t quite ready yet probably mentally and physically to be a full time starter.
which was the problem vs LSU. what happens when a good defense takes away the big plays? you gotta be able to have the accuracy and timing to make the quick 10 yard passes.
He was only the guaranteed starter for 3 games and roughly 7 weeks. Starting job was up for grabs this year. Now Wimbush has 8 weeks of guaranteed starter to get on same page. Plus he didn’t just get here so he has formed some relationships already.
I said two years and you showed me highlights from three games.

You are making way too much sense, stop it or you will be accused of all kind of nonsense by the forum spammers.
Personally, I think the biggest issue vs LSU was our inability to block some of their DL. Doesn’t matter how good (or bad) your QB is... it’s hard to have a good game when you’re under pressure and, conversely, having plenty of time in the pocket can make anyone look great.
Yes we did. I don't think it's as much buying time as it is his decision time is very fast and then he usually makes the right decision, even though the throw may not be perfect all the time. There were guys open underneath plenty of times. DJ just didn't see them, or he saw them but didn't have the confidence to try and make the throw. It was only his third start, in a big game against a really good opponent. Milton has enough experience to see that, and make the throw.
Agreed. There’s a lot of pieces to this. Milton had multiple plays against Auburn where he stepped around, stepped up, moved outside the pocket and completed passes including at least one touchdown that I remember. Like you said Mack was playing in his third start and wasn’t prepared to handle everything. Not necessarily his fault. The WRs and TEs didn’t do him any favors with drops. Also JH didn’t do him any favors by going away from McCrae running the ball (guy had like an 8 YPC average haha)
Milton was more dangerous on the move than in the pocket. That combined with a stellar backfield was a wicked combination. Mack had more threat to be a power type runner out of the pocket (when he held on to the ball). I think given the time off this summer Mack was going to be much more composed and confident, much like Milton did between his freshman and sophomore years. I think it is a real loss to have him gone. Despite what he did at ND Wimbush is an unknown at UCF. Just glad we have him.
I think you call plays to your teams strengths. Mack can run and throw deep. So that was the play calls. Probably the same for Wimbush. RBs in flat or wheel routes if middle opens up. Quick slants take timing and accuracy. We have 8 weeks to get timing down.
And let’s not forget that Brandon said in the Spring he wants to win a National Championship at UCF. I know we do have a NC but I’m sure Brandon was talking about winning one through the playoff system.
Yea I mean I hope his Dr has given him every treatment option possible to one day be at 100% or better.
But Wimbush was accurate enough to be 13-3 at Notre Dame. I will take that given that this is really a bridge year.
Yeah., but he was BENCHED. The record does not tell the whole story.
