Does Tim Polasek know what a play action pass is?

His passing ability wasn't much of an issue until after the Iowa game, which I believe he hurt his back and affected him for the rest of the season. Even more reason not be running the QB so much.

NDSU needs to continue producing more Wentz's and not Goff's. Stay away from the spread crap.

Hey, we're agreeing on something. I'd much rather watch a power west coast. Spread offense....yuck! Simply doesn't fit NDSU's culture.

I'm all in on Stick. He's our guy. Coming from a 10-point deficit with little time on the clock doesn't suit his skill set and in my opinion played into JMU's hands.

Yeah were just not built to play that type of football. We're all about long methodical drives. But yeah... Stick didn't play that well that day but he will improve. We shouldn't have gotten that far behind anyways. Combo of timely three and outs and shitty defense. And bad luck with the off sides penalty and phantom timeout.

Can't stand on 3rd and long throwing 3 yard passes. Hopefully he can bring more down the field passing and not be so predictable.

I absolutely "HATE" the spread offense scheme. As I have written before, it exists only to take advantage that their are far more talented WRs over DBs in college football. It also eliminates the need for the QB to be smart enough to read defenses as all he needs to do is line up and look for the most mismatched coverage and quickly dump the ball to the favored WR.

This scheme has greatly affected the development of NFL QBs for the past 15-20 years.

We'll never run a Cal offense, at least under coach K we won't. Our offense is more like Ohio State which is just fine. Stick is a dual threat QB, to not run him is a massive waste of his talent. He will never be Wentz throwing the ball but he can add a different dynamic with his legs.

Honestly I'm not sure we'll have another QB with the athleticism, intelligence, arm talent and frame that Wentz had. He was a power five recruit that fell through the cracks.

The spread has ruined the NFL. That's why guys like Brady, Manning, Roger, and Favre dominate as old guys. NFL QBs are getting dumber and dumber because of college. I love our offense. Teams are shocked when they have to play actual defense and cover short passes and stop a power running game with a fullback. The fold like a cheap suit in the 4th quarter after getting pounded for 3

I am sure there are college football coaches who like to think they are developing student/athletes to play at the next level and then realize they don't keep a job unless they win. You win in college by moving the ball. You look for mismatches all the way back to when you are recruiting kids. Very good and better college WRs win one on one matchups all game long. The bottom line for most coaches will always come back to the best game plan that results in them keeping their job. So it comes back to your point that until DBs start winning more one on one matchups at a very high level, coaches will fall back on the most sure way to move the ball. At the college level, it seems if they are athletic enough to shut some someone down, they are athletic enough you want the ball in their hands.

Would rather see a better thread at the top to atl east congratulate Coach P, guy was a huge part of our run, I'd say close this and hos it
