Comments 0 Comment

Chris Klieman made some controversial comments yesterday during his weekly press conference when he asked members of the media to be more positive towards the football team and players in the program. It all started when a reporter asked how the players are dealing with adversity and if they are able to keep a positive attitude.

Chris Klieman and offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham spoke with the media this week and many of the questions they fielded had to do with the quarterback position. It sounds like Skylar Thompson is week-to-week and Will Howard and Jaren Lewis aren’t as far apart as we thought. Here’s what they said… “He is going to be out this week, then we’ll reevaluate it based on how he’s feeling as well as based on what the docs say. “…Chris Klieman on…
