Video of Wimbush throwing at recent ND practice
I saw this video posted on the UHND forum:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2bnlEPKQKA
There are a few clips of Wimbush looking very erratic on short passes. Maybe he just had a bad day, or maybe he has some Knoblauch-type issues with the short ball.

Meanwhile our QB's have separated and are:
QB1 Patterson
QB2 Peters
QB3 DM
August 13th, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
Would you say Peters has noticeably improved from last year? And how far ahead of Peters is Patterson would you say?
August 13th, 2018 at 5:32 PM ^
Mildly interested in that order behind Shea after seeing good rumblings about McCaffrey in the last couple of weeks. It's not really crucial now; it will matter more in the spring if both guys are still here.
I am hopeful, with reasonable cause, that Peters has taken a real step forward from last season. My hope is that Shea's clear edge precedes a real upgrade in quality at the position over the last two years.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:07 PM ^
I'm not umbig11, but I can say this with confidence, our best case scenario based off the information I have is Shea 2018 Heisman, National Champs, Milton 2019 Heisman, National Champs, Milton 2020 Heisman, National Champs.
August 13th, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
Is Peters a definitive 2nd string or is it close between he and McCaffrey
August 13th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
Is the difference between Shea and Peters by a long shot or close?
August 13th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
Can you describe in what ways has Peters looked better than DM?
August 13th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
I know it's off subject but anything new on the MSU story you said would drop soon, umbig11?
August 13th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Yeah it’s getting awfully close to the start of the season. Seems like we should be hearing something soon.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
He has previously said that it would come out right as the season starts, or something to that effect.
This is just my interpretation of a cryptic umbig11 nugget, but I think it means that a player will not be playing when the season starts and that his absence will prompt revelation of the issue.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Good for Peters! That means he is busting his ass and not hanging his head.
August 13th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
I think there needs to be a default setting that when you comment in a thread, it automatically becomes the first comment at the top of the page.
August 13th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Time to roll ... let's strap it on and find out !
August 13th, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
SAY LESS, DO MORE
August 13th, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
This is tantalizing, of course. Hold up a player like that with an inaccurate throw to the edge and Michigan probably has three guys on top of him. I'd love to see this Wimbush on September 1.
But even with rumors of uneven practices this is just one video and we saw just a small handful of passes. I can't judge too much from that.
August 13th, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
Tim Tebow says hey.
August 13th, 2018 at 5:32 PM ^
This may sound a bit paranoid, but could it be a faux leak of footage?
August 13th, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^

I’m convinced that Purpleface specialized in disinformation for CIA.
August 13th, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
I usually make my judgement based off one three minute clip
THIS GUY STINKS
August 13th, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
WIN WITH AGGRESSION!
August 13th, 2018 at 5:39 PM ^
I want to turn my desk over just seeing this!!! CHILLS!! COME ON SEPT 1st!!!!!!

This game is going to be tougher than we think. ND away, opener, night game, new QB, amped crowd, bound to be some mistakes. Has all the makings of a classic.
I think NDs defense will mitigate our offense for chunks of the game but our defense will be superior.
Going to become a field possession game and will result in a 23 - 13 win for the good guys.
Turnovers will be crucial.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
Turnovers are my biggest concern. We've shot ourselves in the foot a lot with those, especially the MSU, OSU and SC games last year.
But, this is a new year and a more experienced team. Let's hope they play with more discipline and keep the mistakes to a bare minimum. If they do that, they can win convincingly.
August 13th, 2018 at 8:42 PM ^
5 losses last year.
13 turnovers in those game.
That shit can’t happen anymore.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
amped crowd, lol
August 13th, 2018 at 6:03 PM ^
He completed less than 50% of his passes last year, so my guess is this is pretty representative of his play overall.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Winbush is visibly frustrated with his own (lack of) accuracy. Maybe he has the yips.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
Prediction: Gary or Winovich coming hard off the end will intercept one of those weak forward laterals and take it to the house.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
I've seen enough games where the Irish pull improbable shit out of their asses against Michigan, so I expect Wimbush to have the game of his life against us. Whether that will be enough for ND to win is another thing.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:47 PM ^
He may look like Joe Montana against us and then look like Jeff Komlo for the rest of the season. And that would not surprise me in the least. This game will be much tougher than the Florida opener last year. On paper, we are the favorite, but there is always some silly shit going on in South Bend at night. Also see Reggie Ho.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
He wont be able to look like Joe Montana, our defense will not allow it.
August 13th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
And I've seen games where we looked like NC contenders, then struggled against the likes of the Akron Zips the next week. Really, anything can happen.
August 13th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
Their offense doesnt really scare me at all. However, on the other hand our offense scares the crap out of me, lol
August 13th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Funny thing is the last footage of Michigan football was the bowl game. No one has a clue what to expect...
August 13th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
never rule out gamesmanship on nds part
no plays off
August 13th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Yea I think ND will throw some wrinkles in their game plan, get a few lucky plays and a few lucky calls* and score a couple easy ones. I’m thinking our offense will be iffy but we’ll settle and we have enough playmakers/talent to minimize turnovers and score on some nice plays, particularly late. 26-16 Michigan. We then blow out pretty much everyone until we play Wiscy at 6-0
*like wimbush tossing a hail-mary off his back foot, mid-Rashan Gary sack, into double coverage, which gets pick-6’d but M is called for PI because Bush touched a tight ends arm 44 yards away from any potion of that play, and ND gets first and goal from
August 13th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Killed this comment and moved it elsewhere.
August 13th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
Oh, he can have a bad day with Michigan's pass rush.
August 13th, 2018 at 8:42 PM ^
I like the play at the end were they seem to be forward lateraling to the running back. If Chase doesn't simply intercept it, he or Gary could disrupt that play for a fumble. Now I'm imagining plays in a game that is +2 weeks away. Hooboy. I need to find a good book or something.
August 13th, 2018 at 10:13 PM ^
No idea how this is going to go. If Shea and the offense are on the same page from Day 1, I could see it being a comfortable win. But that’s a tall order. The more likely scenario is that the offense still needs time to gel together and we have a final score of something like 17-14 that could go either way.
All comes down to who makes the least amount of mistakes, or who makes the critical 4th quarter fumble in their own territory. I wouldn’t gameplan around asking Shea to be a hero for this game. This is still going to be his first start in this offense and it’s on the road against a very good defense. Take what ND’s defense gives you, don’t turn the ball over, and trust that your defense has got your back and should limit ND’s ability to move the ball.
August 14th, 2018 at 12:25 AM ^
Please BK name BW the starter. I want a blow out win for UM.
