I was always confused as to why we added FIU and Charlotte over Georgia Southern, Troy and App State. But good lord freaking App State is ranked in the top 25 and in the conversation for a bowl vs a P5 opponent in prime time at the cotton bowl while we are hoping to win 3 more games so we can play Akron in a bowl game 1700 miles away at 10 AM on ESPN2 what a shame.

There is almost zero advantage to being taken in the 6th and 7th vs choosing where you land among UDFA suitors. He already had his degree, he did plenty for UNT, it was the best choice. He wouldn't be doing jack to improve his draft stock here, if his very good pro day times didn't springboard him there nothing would, especially not a season in Reeder's offense. Him and Brooks are the only two who are on practice squads, his talent has been proven. It is best for all parties anyways as the experience Greg White, Shorter, Ogunmakin and Simpson are gaining taking over Guyton (and Bussey's) snaps is invaluable moving forward.

He was still available late, only after we learned Sow wouldn't make it here you kind of made my point. He still has two more years I get it but I wont hold my breath. My hope is that Kenneth Dotson and Jimmy Walker are developing during their redshirt year and along with Leblanc start a foundation for the next few seasons.

"UNT tweaked its offense slightly when Reeder arrived. The Mean Green put more emphasis on utilizing tight ends and vowed to pick up the tempo to keep defenses off balance. Those plans have been derailed by injuries that kept starting tight end Kelvin Smith out of a loss to Houston and have limited him much of the season." Something tells putting a huge emphasis on getting the TE involved when you have one (1!) with experience returning wasn't the best choice. Pirtle is a converted WR who is also a walk on.. The third string TE Kyleb Howell is also not on scholarship. The downvotes may rack up for this comment, but IMO Smith's disappointing play probably has a lot to do with going full on vegan as a 230+ lb. FBS tight end. What in the world made them want to feature the TE more this season? The only thing I would feature a TE for in this offense is pass blocking because we need 6 to give Fine more than 2.5 seconds to get rid of the ball.

2018- Sa'afi, Colvin, Mcmillan 2019- David Sow (DNQ) Asher Frow In the NFL they call them JAGs or Just A Guy. We have given five of them scholarships instead of trying to develop high school DL players in the last two years alone. We have signed so few high school DL players and then seen 1/4 of them leave the program within a year. This guy already has multiple offers in October I suspect that number will increase as we get towards late November and we will no longer be considered. Then we move on to players like the ones above who have very few offers at all. Or if by some miracle we sign a JUCO DL player with a good offer sheet he won't qualify. But hey they're already 275 pounds and they can plug running lanes and allow our LB's to make plays Hey they can at least sub in on 3rd down and rush the passer They could redshirt and develop under a great DL coach Well... I guess it's good to have bigger guys for the scout team so the OL gets a good look. Great use of 5 scholarships.

Man I hope we keep him committed. That is some impressive closing speed.

I've brought this up plenty. We failed to get a guy who could play that position in 4 classes and had to move Novil over to NT this season and ask him to gain 20+ pounds. It's a huge part of the reason we are getting destroyed in the run game. We have signed so few high school defensive lineman in each class and had 3 or 4 of them leave within a year of signing. We signed a JUCO player from California who had no other FBS offers over the summer months after signing day, that tells you all you need to know.

They're allowed to play 4 games without burning their redshirt. In games 9-12 we should see some different guys getting playing time. We are right back to being University of next year. Nice.

I guess we will find out what the team is made of for the rest of the season, if they quit that's a really bad sign. Right now, we have two wins over FCS ASU and UTSA who is a bottom 10 team. This is unacceptable given the amount of money pumped in to the program in recent years.

One tendency we have on offense I don't like is running on 2nd and long. It is mathematically the worst down to run on. Interception.. well damn.

I'm cool with winning a 52-48 type game as long as that means the offense will start rolling in conference play 🙄

We don't have the personell to run a 3-3-5. We moved Novil from DE to DT because we didn't recruit a guy who can play that position in 4 classes and when we play bigger more athletic offensive lines our linebackers are overwhelmed. Something changed with this team this offseason, I honestly feel bad for Fine. If he had a chance to go play QB at a P5 school that may have been the better choice seeing as how we don't look likely to make a bowl game now.

I don't understand comparing the early SBC days to now. We won like 27 straight conference games and 4 titles. I may have been 14 but I remember those games there was never a thought we were going to lose. Nowadays when we're up 14 @ ODU it's a lot of "Hold on to your fucking hat". We have gotten our asses handed to us by CUSA teams in big games, lost many we shouldn't have, and been nowhere near as consistent as those teams. Those teams were destroying bad football teams with terrible resources. We are just barely remaining competitive with a bunch of underperforming schools. I'm just tired of playing comparable schools and seeing a huge discrepancy in talen. We all know how far we have come since Portland State but the big losses in important games (Troy, FAU x 2, Utah State, SMU & UH) remind how far away we are from being a good team. We're just an average to above average CUSA team with a pretty good QB who is being stymied by a new OC. What the hell are we going to be next year while we wait for the last two classes plus the current one to develop? Who's ready to hear about how Reeder is so much more comfortable heading in to year two as OC? Who's ready to fake excitement for the 3 JUCO DL players we sign (1 of which will fail to qualify) who were also offered by Idaho? Why am I ending this post with multiple questions?

Expectations have changed but results haven't Big game Seth continues to flop when it matters most. We also have the most insanely terrible defensive performances in these games. 2017: FAU 69, UNT 31, CCG: FAU 41 UNT 17, Bowl: Troy 50 UNT 30 2018: Bowl: Utah State 52 UNT 13 2019: Two 20+ point losses to Houston and SMU. But hey, we sure can beat teams like UTSA what are we bitching about?

Hey, atleast it's possible CUSA is so shitty we could squeak in to a bowl game😔

They are vastly more talented, no question. But when a team has this much drama surrounding it the week of the game and still kicks our ass we have problems. Utah State, Troy, FAU, SMU, will we add Houston to the list?

So if SMU is actually this good, and we just lost by 6 to a 4-0 Cal team who just won on the road against a good SEC team, maybe just maybe though of us (me being chief among them) who were crying that this team had no chance at a conference championship were way off? Hmm... SMU/Cal look like tough games and we are already 1/3 of the way through the regular season.

Is the video of the dumbass who called Mason a middle school QB still around? It was the year their belief in an undefeated season was stoked by their beat writer who claimed they had an easy path to 12-0 lol. I can remember grabbing that still photo of him and making that picture/quote my signature on CSNbbs and I was insta-banned for "posting a picture of a forum member" how the hell was I supposed to know? Edit: The article is actually in my signature I had forgot. I will see if I can find the video.

At least expectations have changed so much we're pissed off we just lost by 6 on the road against a PAC 12 team. There were some positive signs on defense but nothing I saw today makes me believe we are contenders in CUSA. Hope I'm wrong.

We don't need to fire everyone lol. Cal is leaps and bounds more talented than we are what can you do? Go back to Dickey ball and run the clock down to 2 seconds before every play and try to get out of there.

Please be a minor injury for Bussey. Please. At least Hamilton is putting up some great tape vs a P5 team for NFL scouts.

My prediction was 47-10 in Old Denton style. The road to even a 6-6 season looks impossible at this point.

Too many penalties on that drive. I am confused as to how we only rushed 3 on that 3rd and 7 and there was no one covering the flat. Easy score for Cal I might be out at halftime for second week in a row.

I wanted to make this exact topic Saturday I just couldn't bring myself to do it because I have been pointing this out all year amongst the kool-aid posts. We have missed in evaluating offensive and defensive linemen as well as linebackers, that much is easy to see but I can't get over how few DL players we have signed out of high school. 2016-1 2017-2(one gone) 2018- 2 (one gone) 2019- 3 (finally!) 2020- 2 commits. Trying to cover up those misses with JUCO players who don't have good offer sheets but have FBS ready bodies has not worked. They are getting pushed in to our young linebackers who are going to need a season to figure things out. I am not trashing the Davis boys I love that we are putting an emphasis on fast linebackers but we signed zero high school linebackers in Seth's first class (2016) and signed two in the second.. Thornton who has never seen the field and Fulp who left the program. That's hard to overcome. This defense lost 4 (four!) guys who made it to NFL camps and we are now paying for missing so badly in 2016 and 2017 on front seven players. I still think we can have a good season against CUSA teams and possibly finish with 8 wins. I just hope we don't shit the bed and get stomped in a bowl game again.

So you're 12? You legitimately are spending your Saturday night as an adult trying to troll people on a lower level college football teams forums. Something tells me when you're on your deathbed alone you will regret the time you wasted.
