During his weekly Monday press conference, head coach Brian Kelly was asked about the progress of quarterback Ian Book. Kelly talked about Book having made improvements in some areas, needing to make more improvements in others. He then finished his answer with a quote saying, “he’s got the ability to be explosive and I think that’s the next step for him.”
This last part is really what it comes down to for Ian Book and his evolution as a quarterback. And, in my opinion, that explosiveness will come with improved decision making. I see it as less of a physical problem and more of a decisiveness and an aggression problem.
