George Presser
Coach George had his presser today. A couple of interesting points.
First, Myles Bradley is doubtful for next week.
Second, Clint Corpe did his best to ask the question that I think most fans have. In fact, it's as close as any member of the media has come in years to asking a hard question to a BG Coach. Questions usually are like, "how did this feel?" and "how tough was that?"
He asked Coach about why we didn't take to the pass game sooner, given that it was clear we weren't going to be able to run....a question that has been on the lips of many fans. And Coach said that it was because we didn't think we could protect the QB and that kept us from looking downfield more. He also noted that we tried a few downfield shots, but didn't execute them, including on the last drive.
He was also asked about Kastantin's play. He said "he has to get better." The question left open that there might be a change, but he didn't take that bait. Coach said that the Jay missed some throws that were open and he has to learn to execute under pressure.

Great question by the reporter. "How does it feel" is lazy/inane, which too much of media is.
We need to pick our poison. It's clear the line can't run block, and it's easier to use backs/tight ends to chip and aid in pass protection than to move people in the run game.
Seems to me Kastantin gives the best chance of winning given the line's play. We saw him move around, evade pressure, and get rid of the ball well. We also saw his limitations. As coach put it, he missed two TDs on one drive.
Prediction: the line plays better in MAC play. When it does, Novosad comes in and he does not miss those passes. Also remember, Najm has three starts to his name. Don't be surprised to see him again.
