Game experience counts for a lot.
In the midst of a variety of other issues, I think that the lack of continuity at QB throughout Kelly's tenure has been the greatest hindrance on the offensive side. Now take a guy, regardless of the talent level, who has one career start under his belt and pair him with a fairly pedestrian receiving corps and an experienced, well-regarded OL that almost can't wait to shit all over itself every time they face a legitimate challenge, and it's not such a puzzle figuring out why he may have underperformed.
Of course, I don't expect any of these things to actually change, nor does it explain how ND just lost a game to a quarterback who was even less experienced than ours.
