i know you hate turnovers, but please understand that Dajon and his style of play will open us up to more situations where we could turn the ball over. It's going to happen and you are going to have to accept that it will but will also open up a LOT more offensive firepower for this program. As he matures he will learn how to protect the ball better and when to throw it away. Don't be so anti turnover that you limit what he can do in the offense.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try to load volumes of plays and sets and reads into Dajon's harddrive. Please keep it simple. Execution is so much more important than outsmarting with looks and checks here. Some of us already suspect that part of the downfall of Greer in the first three games might have been trying to load him with too many reads. In time you will be able to implement more variety but for now, let's keep things as simple as possible.
Do not think if you get Marcus Smith 2-3 touches it is enough. I would like to see this big guy get the ball 5-10 times a game. He is a legitimate talent and with Dajon's threat to run it will only open him up even more.
Lastly -- we have everything to gain and nothing to lose in this game so let it all hang out. If we lose this game we are still right in the thick of things in C-USA west. So take a couple of reasonable chances when you can to level out the playing field. GMG

Nicholls was held to 244 yards on offense and 14 first downs. Running back Michael Henry led the offense, rushing for 95 yards on 19 carries. Under center, Kalen Henderson played the first half, throwing for 50 yards on 7 of 15 passes with two interceptions. Henderson was under duress the whole 30 minutes, resulting in six sacks. Beaux Hebert played the second half, finishing with 116 yards passing on 10 of 16 passes.
Demon Bolt led the receivers with 38 yards on four receptions while Keenan Canty also had four grabs for 36 yards.
In the game, North Texas took the opening kickoff and needed just five plays to take a 7-0 lead. Quarterback Dajon Williams, who accounted for five touchdowns, ran in from eight yards for the first score, and following a pick on Henderson's first pass, Williams found a wide open Carlos Harris for a 41-yard touchdown. The Mean Green then received great field position after blocking a Colonel punt and it led to a Reggie Pegram 1-yard touchdown run.
Trailing 21-0, Nicholls put together its best drive of the day, going 69 yards on 13 plays. Fueled by a 36-yard run by Henry, the Colonels moved inside the 5-yard line, but had to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Francisco Condado with 5:03 on the clock.
In the second quarter, following another touchdown run by Williams that made the score 28-3, James Jones stepped in front of a Henderson pass for an interception and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown. North Texas then scored two more touchdowns in the quarter, both on passes by Williams, to lead 49-3 at half time.
After the break, Nicholls was forced to punt on their first drive, and Darvin Kidsy ran it back for a 75-yard touchdown. North Texas continued to pour it on, rushing for two more touchdowns in the quarter.
The Mean Green capped the dominating performance with a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown by Zac Whitfield early in the fourth.
B.T. Sanders led the Colonel defense with nine tackles, while Josh Dewey and Davin Bovie had five tackles each.
The Colonels will open up conference play next Saturday as they head to Conway, Ark. to face Central Arkansas. Kickoff at "The Stripes" is scheduled for 3 p.m.
