That is what happens when the Bison use the whole width of the field in the rushing attack instead of being stubborn and trying to wear them down between the tackles

Tim Polaseks greatest strength was also his greatest weakness. I actually liked his offense but he tried to run it up the gut repeatedly against teams that were crashing the middle, even against bad matchups.

You just scheduled yourself a scolding by Mr Burgundy

Generally, I agree. That being said, my all time favorite Bison offensive sequence was TP's hurry up power run of the same play about 8 times in a row against SHSU in the playoffs a few years ago. I had a hard time getting the smug smile off of my face for a week or so afterward. It was an absolute thing of beauty.

And the crowd getting louder and louder with each play

My favorite moment was vs Jacksonville State when he comes out with a hurry up goalline offense. Can't remember like no receivers, 3 TEs, and a fullback. After the first 5 plays, you could tell they wanted nothing to us!

I think Tim P's biggest weakness was running the frickin jet sweep against a fast defense like JMU's.

Agree, trying to beat JMU's skill position players was a mistake. Using the Bison's strength and conditioning and pushing the ball right down the field was in our favor. JMU had some very talented playmakers at their skill positions.

I kind of disagree. The jet sweep was a bad idea because, well, it's a fucking jet sweep. But the Dukes were just daring the Bison to pass and they didn't. Not saying the Bison should have gotten pass happy but they should have made JMU respect the pass more than they were. There was no where to run with that many Dukes in the box. And on the other side of the ball they killed the Bison D with delayed handoffs.

The Jet sweep can be very effective. The wide receiver in motion acts as a play action and sometimes the linebacker bites on it. Now if they don't bite on it, it's pretty useless.

The jet sweep and power run was getting killed by JMU in that game, but they weren't very good at stopping the misdirection plays. Why they stopped calling them after Grimsley's INT (NDSU had just tied the game at 17) and went back to the plays JMU was well-prepared for will be one of the biggest frustrations I have had as a football fan. NDSU wasn't going to be able to impose their will that day and needed to be more scheming.
