    Second half offense was atrocious last year in the regular season, though it was better in the playoffs (though still fizzled in 4th quarter vs JMU). I'm sure he was good at many things and is growing in his understanding but he definitely was poor at making in game adjustments and imo that is a huge barometer for judging a coach

I think sometimes he stuck stuck to the plan too rigidly like against JMU, and it didn't work, instead of adjusting to something that would work. Other times Polasek did really well, though.
    I describe it as he didn't have the "Art" of play calling mastered. He could do the "Science" and put the plan down in black and white but when the plan needed some grey or to transform it just didn't seem to happen. I think he will get their with more experience but he needs a bit more time.

    . I think this will be corrected next year with Courtney. Spring will be key to work on the passing game. It should be much improved with Easton healthy and good mix at WR.

    By the way, did Klieman say who is taking over the running back position group?

    Easton was listed among the top 10 QBs in his class by NFL Draft.com end of the year his ranking dropped to 14 and trending downwards.
    " Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"

    Was he playing injured last year? It seemed his speed wasn't what it use to be.

    The Iowa game was brutal on Easton's body. The Hawkeyes weren't sleeping that day on the Bison.
    Hail the BISON!!!
