Back to back to back incredible plays by Dion Novil, that possession was a win for me. With both starting corners out it's going to be a long day defensively. Really need the offense to maximize every possession, need 7 here.

This should perfectly explain why it's impossible for this generation of college students to "pick themselves up by the bootstraps and work for it" the way people who graduated in the 70s and 80s were able to get by working a job at the same time. The math simply doesn't add up.

Jerry Jones was named executive of the year after the 2014 season, it was a joke then but just sad that 24 years post championship this is the only title he has to his name. McCarthy was a bad hire, regardless of injuries they interviewed two candidates and one of them was Marvin Lewis to comply with the rooney rule. A coach so desperate for another chance to be a head coach he lied about watching every snap of the Cowboys 2019 season just to get the job with a team that cares more about jersey sales than winning. The only bright spot is this team could be bad enough to land the #1 pick. Given that people think Trevor Lawrence is a better prospect than even Joe Burrow we could get a kings ransom in future picks to trade down. Of course this assumes we finally pay Dak Prescott what he is worth.

We have had the absolute worst luck with safeties what a shame

https://nfldraftbible.com/scouting-the-nation-clemson-unsung-hero-hungry-wolves-a-slew-of-under-the-radar-prospects/ Nice write up on Jaelon here, he is turning some heads that's for sure.

I am skeptical at best that it will be a slot receiver who breaks our draft curse. The NFL doesn't value those guys very highly even Hunter Renfrow was a 5th rounder though his age was a big factor. If you search twitter there are a few draftniks who have noticed his production including Dane Brugler former owner of nfldraftscout and current writer for The Athletic. He's listed on the Reece's senior bowl 2021 top 250 maybe I am being pessimistic I just thought it would be Novil garnering the buzz this year.

HUGE play by one of the Murphy twins rushing off the edge, those are the plays that build confidence in younger players and we have A LOT of young guys trying to figure it out. GMG!

Darden is so damn special, he is on such a tear right now he's unguardable. G5 slot WR's are a dime a dozen in terms of NFL prospects so it's hard to imagine him getting drafted but the production has been unreal.

Guyton has been targeted 8 times this season and has 6 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Guyton, Wilson Jr, Fine was one hell of a trio.

We are down by 5 if not for the missed field goals...

IDK what to say it's true, and it matters a lot in college football. The last three classes we signed had significantly more high school players than the first two the bulk of this roster has been here three years or less including 17 redshirt freshmen and 14 redshirt sophomores. It doesn't excuse performances like this, but we are VERY green.

#90 with two bad plays on that drive leading to huge gains. True freshman making his first start. I could be wrong but by my count there are only 23 scholarship players between the junior and senior classes. Almost 70% of scholarship players are freshmen or sophomores. I think we all underestimate how young the team is. Two drives in to their territory and we come away with zero points but we still have a shot to win today GMG

I remember thinking this seems like a guy that will end up at TCU all the way but didn't want to speak that in to existence. He's talented, a school he likes more that's higher up the food chain noticed and offered what are you going to do? Just wish it wasn't an offensive lineman.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28649423/college-football-teams-most-returning-production-2020 We ranked 121st out of 130 schools in terms of returning production coming in to this season. I absolutely knee jerked after the SMU game when I should have taken in to account just how many guys were making their first meaningful start of their college careers. We only have ten scholarship seniors, 3 of which don't play at all. His record speaks for itself but I am now taking the approach of letting the season play out before calling for his job.

His time there will end up going as well as Prime Prep Academy did and he'll likely be gone within 2 years. Think Isaiah Thomas/FIU

That will require the people who have put up millions to put up more millions in a post-covid world and even I can see that is a fruitless endeavor. He will be back next season, and then he will be an OC elsewhere in 2022 while a new coach at North Texas promises a change in culture.

Just going by rank in opponents PPG in seasons which Skladany was DC according to wikipedia Ohio (1985-1989) 86th,93rd,68th,71st,92nd Iowa State (1996-2006) 105th, 110th, 85th, 51st, 45th, 26th, 78th, 109th, 36th, 20th, 106th UCF (2007) 57th Houston (2008-2009) 92nd, 95th North Texas (2012-2014) 61st, 8th, 88th I'm not trying to disparage the guy or anything, but he wasn't some tactical genius🤷‍♂️

Just saying I think you guys massively overrate Skladany's defense and forget the fact that we had really good players (including a future All Pro MLB) on defense for the first time since 2004. We played a boatload of really green guys yesterday, a bunch from the 2018 class. Maybe we'll figure out who our QB is, maybe some young guys will grow up and shine over the course of this season that's what I'm looking towards because we are not winning 5 of the 9 remaining games.

9/27/2008- Todd Dodge loses to Rice 77-10 Will SMU score more than 77 points?

Big game Seth about to do it again. Absolutely embarrassing.

I hope we're not reading too much in to TX State hanging tough with them. Their QB is worlds better than ours and it will be a long day if we can't pressure him which I don't believe we can. Hope we win, but not optimistic.

After yesterday Littrell is now 28-25 with five of those victories coming against FCS schools Bethune-Cookman, Lamar, Incarnate Word, Abilene Christian and Houston Baptist. We have also been flat out embarrassed in games against upper tier G5 schools. I want to reiterate I am not calling for his job but the defense looked BAD yesterday and that's been a staple of his tenure here. If you think we're going to hold either Houston or SMU under 35 points we didn't watch the same game. If things don't change we will get our doors blown off by two in state schools we should be able to compete against, hope I'm wrong.

This forums' back? Time for me to bump like 17 political threads and stoke some flames... Just kidding. I will say that Argyle is basically Highland Park-Lite in terms of pretentiousness I've worked there enough to notice the difference. I guess it's possible this could all be lies but we also don't owe this guy anything. He's an SMU alum who was lucky to get a job here in the first place. Regardless of how it plays out this is terrible for everyone involved.

Seth Littrell is 27-25 over 4 seasons with zero conference championships, three bowl losses in which the defense gave up 47 PPG and one of the highest paid coaches in CUSA with best facilities and resources we have ever had. I'm not saying he's on the hot seat but he should be if we're not in the hunt for a conference championship. If we end up with 4 wins again we should be raising hell there is no excuse for mediocrity now.
