2018 OC & QB
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing Keen is back as OC next year. Creighton is loyal, EMU has a limited budget, and the offense will be a clean slate next year. This year they were locked into an experienced Senior starter, with an inexperienced OL, and the offense was basically going to mirror the QB's arm.
As most have hinted, Creighton/Keen (lot's of D1 programs) would prefer a dual-threat type scheme/QB combo to put more pressure on defenses. Last night we quickly saw glimpses of what this offense might look like with a legit zone read run threat from the QB.
Excited to see how the QB competition plays out. Stiebeling showed last night, at a minimum, that he is a legit backup that can win a game if called upon. I'm sure he'll be working hard on his pass game to give himself the best shot at winning the job. Glass and Hutchinson will bring other skills to the table.
Grissom is the wild card. If he has a decent arm, and can throw with some accuracy, next year could get exciting. He would kill the MAC with his legs, and allow Keen to get creative and put a lot of pressure on opposing DC's.

I'm thinking we see a lot of rushing records go down next year in terms of team attempts, yards, and touch downs

I like Jackson as a dual threat as well

Jackson at Cass Tech?
I think he had a subpar year at Cass Tech.

I have absolutely no problem with Keen returning as OC if we get to see more of what we saw last night.

Not sure Jackson's future is starting EMU QB. Might be other creative ways to get him involved.

That was a terrible run D that BG had.

Very true. BUT, I will say it seemed like the OLine got gradually better as the year went along. Leatiota was out as well, so more and more guys got reps, which is great for next year. 1 more year in the weight room, 1 more year together, 1 more year with the same coach, hopeful for next year. Add Sow to the mix, and the OLine should go from this year's main concern, to a strength for next year. Overall stayed pretty healthy along the OLine which is a good sign as well. Partially luck, but I think our Strength & Conditioning staff does a good job with these guys preparing their bodies for the rigors of a full season. A lot of other teams in the MAC were really beat up with injuries this year, and we stayed healthy for the most part, again.
