WhiteMood #2 Scotch

Hi GMs and everyone, I am really enjoying the progressive courses and also the section on the Scotch, my favourite. I have a question on one of the tips in section 9 “plans against passive moves”. Suggested moves are: 

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 g6 5. Nc3 Bg7 6. Be3 Nf6 7. f3 OO 8. Qd2 d6 9. OOO

My question is what happens if Black have a wake up call and play 8… d5 instead? 

Thanks
