Fire Polasek save the season!

If that's the case then why wasn't Stick bright in? If you can't run your game plan because someone is injured bring someone who can.

Good post.

I didn't mind too terrible the decision to pass, but I totally disagree with the roll out pass in that situation. What do you do when you roll out the QB? One, you cut the field in half so Montana only has to defend half the field. Two, how many receivers are you going to have out in that area? One? Maybe two? If that one guy is covered, now you have almost no options for Carson, with only half the field to work with, there is probably going to be no running lanes so Carson's only choices are going to be, take a sack, throw it out of bounds, or try to throw back across his body. In that situation all three of those do you no good.

I would have much rather seen the play action with a straight drop back. It would put more pressure on the defense, give you more receiving options, and if everything is covered, the chances of Carson finding a running lane to pick up some yards and keep the clock running are greatly increased.

The roll out pass has it's place. If you need to move the pocket to slow up the pass rush or you are trying to set something up for later in the game I have no problem with it. But with game on the line or at the goal line, I just cringe everytime I see a QB rolling out.

I've read repeatedly about the drive against SHSU running power over and over until they broke, who was coordinating that offense?

That script should have been used a lot more on Saturday....just sayin!

I don't disagree, but lets not pretend that all of these options are equally bad in that context. Wentz picked the poorest of the three.

I don't generally question play calling, but the issue here isn't play calling, it's clock management. From a clock management perspective everything went wrong on that 2nd down play. Seems to me that priority one there should have been to keep the clock ticking/make them use their timeouts, priority two get a first down.

I apologize if many people are taking this thread as serious. I made it jokingly, as how many times were there Fire Vigen save the season, Fire Bohl save the season. I guess, I should have put /purple in the thread name. I agree it was 1 game. Hopefully in tape season everyone learns something, and we we come out and win big in 2 weeks.

I thought that everybody knew that the "Fire X, Save Y" was an inside Bisonville joke already.

That said, NDSU could lose a game 77-74 and there'd be people blaming offensive play calling.

Anything been said by coaches or asked by the media regarding the unwise decision for two passing plays in the last 3 and out by the Bison? Coaches decision making was poor at the end of the game overall. What were they thinking? Are they evaluating what they did because they need to make some improvements just like the players.

Sounds like Coack K. called for the pass plays as the Griz had 8 men in the box. We need our WR to stretch the field as we have been saying for years.

Polasek is fine but he needs to take what the defense gives him sometimes.

The OL outweighed the Griz front 7 by 50 lbs.............50 lbs!!!! Use that to your advantage a little more.

Nailed it......

Needing to stretch the field and having the capability to do so are two different things. Coach should have known we struggled to stretch the field all game.
