    I'm not sure it's Kleiman, Carson was great under pressure i.e. the Natty against Jacksonville, SDSU playoff game, N. Iowa in '15(?). Stick doesn't seem to have that focus under pressure Wentz and Brock had. Stick's attempt at a comeback against JMU last year was awful. Time management against SDSU before half last year was atrocious, and again on saturday at YSU before the half. I don't think he has that intangible under pressure a great QB needs. We had plenty of time at the end of regulation saturday with 3 TO's left, Kleiman didn't trust him to lead the drive.

    And attempting one on one passes inside 5 when we can’t get separation when at 50 just baffled me.

    This. I don't remember a single game under Klieman where I said, "Wow, that was great clock management."

    Easton hasn't thrown a INT all year. Sure he's made some questionable decisions, but he's a junior. Time to let the kid loose

    This is basically his third year starting, his accuracy is much better this year, but he hasn't shown that extra something, at least not consistently the way Brock and Carson did. We could put the ball in those two guys hands in crunch time knowing we'd be successful. I hope Stick develops that quality, but so far, not so much.

    On first and goal, they ran a pick play with RJ and Shep. I have not seen the replay, but I believe Shep was open. 3rd down play I believe was a back shoulder throw to Illies that just missed. No problem for me with the play-calling. Issue to me was clock management leading up to 1st and goal and not preserving any timeouts.

    He did alright against Iowa last year when we needed a drive at the end of the game. Kolpack asked Klieman after the game about settling for OT... basically his explanation was - they tried to get a decent run with stick (similar to the end of the iowa game) & YSU was doing something things they hadn't seen all year from them with blitzes and they felt more comfortable taking it to OT. I guess it worked out.

    Iowa?????????

    Kid is fantastic. Carson and Brock were not runners like Easton. So, maybe you have not seen it passing, but I've never seen a Bison QB run like this since the veer days. Only flaws I see are the same flaws every QB has. When he goes through progressions, lights out. When he zones in, not as good.

    I would argue Brock did not fully hit his peak until his senior year and comparisons to Carson simply aren't that fair IMO. Easton has proven pretty consistently his ability to compete and win games. Hopefully going forward when it comes down to the wire Easton and the coaches will handle the entire situation better.

    YSU shut down the QB run on saturday at the end of regulation because that is what Stick does best in crunch time, Pelini knew that. He will need to throw better under pressure when we need him to. When has he done that? Maybe a good throw to RJ late against Iowa. I can't think of crunch time pass Easton has made in the closing minutes of a game to bring us back, although my memory isn't what is once was. Yes he's only lost two games, but it would have been nice to see him throw a catchable ball late against JMU. And yes he is fantastic, no question about it.

    It’s Kleinman, not calling timeouts when he should and calling them when he shouldn’t. That’s not the quarterback, it’s the head coach. The issues just before halftime started before the offense was even on the field.
