Ui Ale won the starting job, was 6-7 for 116 passing yards. DeSean Jackson happens to be the head coach there.
He turned a 1-11 team to 8-4. Some of these NFL superstars are showing that they can be good coaches.
D Jack has especially embraced surrounding himself with older assistant coaches with decades of experience.
Houston Baptist also had a big upset coincidentally a season after changing OC from Mike Nesbitt.
Fwiw - I remain a fan of Nesbitt.
Former UH QB, Billy Cosh, is Stony Brook’s HC.
“As a player, Cosh spent five seasons at quarterback across Houston, Butler Community College, James Madison, and Kansas State. He led Butler to the 2012 NJCAA National Championship, throwing for 2,856 yards and 25 touchdowns. He graduated from Houston in 2015 with a degree in sociology.”
Unrelated to Stony Brook, but still pretty crazy.

NSU has been having some serious issues ever since they fired Coach Peveto.
Louisiana College is channeling that powerful pungent Pineville, Louisiana creosote.
I don’t remember Ui Ale being ever having a bad QB outing at UH. Dana only played him when he was forced to and Fritz buried him in the rotation as QB3.
Happy it worked out for him.
In this age in a portal, the lower division teams are more experienced than these FCS teams who have to deal with constant movement
