That's a sweet smoker. A lot nicer than my $300 Oklahoma Joe lol.

I imagine he gets a hall pass for the year. It's unfortunate but what can we do.

A 6'5 265 DL playing at Denton Braswell. As @GMG_Dallas said above, he has another offer from UL-LA. I just watched his HUDL videos and I see why the staff went after him. He is a DL that is currently playing in the 3-3-5 in one of the biggest 6A districts (McKinney, Allen, Guyer, Prosper, etc..) in the state. It looks like they move him around on the DL. Some plays he lines up at nose and others he is lined up as a DE. It's nice to see him pushing the opposing OL around on the video. In this defense, if our DL do this, our LBs should swoop up behind them and make tackles (argument for another day). I did see he missed a couple of tackles on his highlight tape. However, the emphasis this off-season should be tackling fundamentals for the entire defense, so he will have plenty of learning opportunities. Additionally, with time with our strength and conditioning staff he get stronger/bigger . I think he will be a good rotational piece for the DL and it helps that he is already playing in a similar defense. https://www.hudl.com/profile/17981766/Matthew-Reed

Iowa St had a solid defense with the proper players. Our current defense is made up of walk ons, undersized players, former p5 back ups, juco guys, redshirt and true freshman. The number 1 selling point should be playing time and number 2 should be creating your own path. Come here and succeed, you will get opportunities for either P5 NIL money or chance to play in NFL/XFL.

Thank you for your courage

This is hard to watch

We're smaller and slower than them. It doesn't help we are running a defense that we don't have the players for. Next week against UTSA will determine if we make a bowl or not. Remember last year when Memphis only beat us by 10?

On to the next one,

Thanks for the added context! Agreed, these next few weeks are going to show how good this team really is.

The turnovers hurt us that game for sure.

I'm hoping we hit the portal hard this off-season. I was impressed with his film, however I would rather have a few guys that can play right away. Our offense is so explosive that if we can shore up the defense, we will be in business next year.

As we progress through the season, do you see the staff prioritizing a certain position in the transfer portal? I'm assuming it will be in the front 6-7 (DL/LBs)on defense but just curious as to what you are hearing.

Tulane 49 UNT 31 Me- anger that we are 3-4 on the verge of being 3-5

I received this via email from the ticket office. The Mean Green Football team defeated the Temple Owls 45-14! Join us for the next home game on Saturday, October 28th for Homecoming when the Memphis Tigers come to town. Kick time for the game will be announced Monday, October 16th.

Coffee, emails, it's cold. Tulane scares me....

Thank you both, I enjoy writing them!

Normally, I do an observations write up after each game. However, the Temple game was a blow out. We played complementary football, didn't turn the ball over, and our defense pitched a shut out during the second half. I am very happy that we were able to dominate and get our first conference win in the American. With that being said, I thought I would do a quick write up of where we currently stand. There have been several growing pains this season. The Cal game was not close, but the others have all been winnable. If we took advantage of certain situations, we would be 5-1 right now. However spoiler alert, we did not and we currently are 3-3 with the toughest stretch of games on the horizon. I really do think that the team is starting to buy into Coach Morris' program. There is a ton of enthusiasm on the sideline and the guys are playing really hard for him. The next few weeks will determine if we make a bowl game or not. Our offense will keep us in games, and I hope that our defense continues to improve. If we can some how win 3 of these next 6 games and make a bowl, I will be thrilled! One last thing before I jump into the stats, thanks so much to @Harry and the other members that started the Mean Green Collective. We have seen several posts these last few months about starting a program to support our athletes. If you enjoy reading content on this free board, please think about donating to the collective. We have over 10,000 members on this site. Even a small amount will help out with the cause. Alright, so I got creative in Excel this morning (I'm putting that UNT Business Degree to use). Below you will find some visuals for our Top Statistical Leaders as well as our Total Defense/Offense by game. Offensively we are currently averaging 478 yards a game. Defensively we are giving up 461 yards a game. On offense, we have been pretty balanced all year long with 52% rushing plays against 48% passing plays. Ayo Adeyi is our leading rusher with 481 yards on the year. However, we use multiple running backs throughout the game. Oscar Adaway and Isaiah Johnson have been solid all year long. Their stats are almost identical as both are averaging about 40 yards a game. Chandler Rogers has played really good football for us this season. He was an absolute steal in the portal this offseason. He is calm in the pocket, makes great reads, and doesn't turn over the football. Dare I say, he is the best QB we have had since Mason Fine? I am certainly starting to lean that way. Chandler currently has a 64% completion percentage with 1419 yards and 12 TDs. Ja"Mori Maclin has been our leading WR with 587 yards and 8 TDs. This has been another great addition from the transfer portal. He is electric and makes so many great plays for us. I have enjoyed watching him this season. Roderic Burns has also played great for us this season. He has the most receptions with 27 for 275 yards. The defense has been trending in the right direction these last few games. The first few weeks were not good. I don't love the 3-3-5, but it has been nice to see the defense playing better. We essentially lost our best LB and DB to the portal, and have played a lot of younger guys. This defense doesn't get a lot of sacks, and has struggled against the run. However, they are improving, and making stops when they need to. The next few weeks will be a big challenge for them. Jordan Brown and Logan Wilson are the leading tacklers with 41. Kevin Wood and Mazin Richards each have 2 sacks on the year. Redshirt Freshman Ethan Wesloski and Patrick Smith have been solid contributors this year with 31 and 30 tackles. Phil Hill, Jaylen Smith, Carson Kropp, Ridge Texada, Nick Nakwaasah, John Davis, and Evan Jackson all have 1 INT on the year. These next few weeks will determine if the first season of the Eric Morris regime is successful or not. I hope we make a bowl game, but it is ultimately up to the players and coaches. Lets continue to support these guys. GMG!

We won, I had beers, great weekend!

Memphis and Tulane tonight at 6 pm. I'm interested to watch this one as we play both in the next 2 weeks.

He tweeted a pic with Coach O and it looks like he came to a game. So it could still be a legit offer.

No lederhosen this week?

Demps has been open about visiting other schools.
