Just imagine if our defense was just “below average”

This defense is actually pretty good. 👍🏾 If you don’t ask them to: - Tackle - Cover - Get pressure - Prevent scoring

Other teams playing at 11:00a that day: Ohio State Navy and Notre Dane Ole Miss and Oklahoma Now, I am sure someone is about to chime in with “yeah, but those programs are different and can draw crowds at any time of day.” Yes, they are different…because they have fans whose only question is “Is my team playing?” and not the laundry list of asinine questions we keep asking: Is it too hot/cold? Is it within 15 days of a holiday? Is another team that I have no affiliation with playing at the same time? Is the opponent sexy enough (though I claim to be a fan of North Texas, so this is irrelevant)? Is it too late/early/middle of the day? Is the team winning? If so, are they winning by enough points? If so, is the offense “pretty” enough? Am I currently mad at the athletic department/university about something? Is it too far for me to drive? If not, could I just watch on tv? What does my horoscope/tea leaves/position of the moon say?

How will we ever beat the dozens of people who have the SMU game circled on their schedule??

- SI is currently picking us vs Kentucky in Tampa https://www.si.com/college-football/college-football-bowl-projections-post-week-7 - 247 Sports’ Prediction - On3.com If one of these were to come to fruition, I’d take a matchup with an SEC school (Kentucky) in Tampa or Arizona in Frisco -

Don’t be surprised if UTSA wins. I cannot stress enough how average their QB is…unless he’s playing our defense.

That’s really not an unreasonable spread. We managed to find a way to win last night, but there are still some facts that can’t be denied - Memphis is better than any team we’ve faced (excluding TTU) - We still can’t run the football early in games - We made a VERY average quarterback look like a world beater. He had two, yes TWO, touchdown passes coming into yesterday. He threw three against our secondary that was often not in the same zip code as receivers - We are on the road - We don’t do a little thing called tackling

Now, just imagine what we’ll look like with Ward healthy

The part you are conveniently leaving out is if they don’t know civil rights or the penal code, I call a press conference to give my resignation speech. There is no option of “hey, they’re doing the best they can.” It is, and always should be, “I am the head of this team, EVERYTHING that happens under my watch is my responsibility.”

Geez, and these days he’s only responsible for one phase

I love where this thread is going. As a Police Chief, I simply cannot wait to give a press conference where I say the following: ”Ultimately, it’s not my fault. I mean, these are adult men and wonen…they should know civil rights and the law by now. Sure, you could argue that I failed to train or failed to supervise, but shouldn’t their middle school civics teacher have handled that? By the time they get to me, it’s too late. I may be the highest paid person in this agency, and yeah I hired these people, but I wrote policy to put them in the right position to succeed…they just failed to execute. I am certain my name will be removed from any and all litigation…because the buck just doesn’t stop with me.”

Here are his stats from last night. - Both of the touchdowns were in those last 3:00 of the game - No other receiver had more than 3 receptions

What he did to Texas is squarely in my “pros” column for him

This was the game plan the whole time…we were employing the Rocky 4 strategy. We let them punch us in the face for 3.5 quarters to wear them down…then BOOM! 💥

After this game they will talk about how efficient and effective FAU’s quarterback was. Don’t believe the hype…he was terrible coming into this game and will go back to being horrible next week.

They get the ball to start the 2nd half. We’ll see the nail in the coffin here.

After this defense is done playing this game and the Memphis game, DATCU will look like that against Tulane

If only there were someone who was paid thousands and thousands of dollars to teach proper tackling technique. But what would you call such a person??

FIFY

He made ONE throw when the unblocked defensive lineman didn’t get home…I’d still dare him to beat us with his arm ALL. GAME. LONG.

Do we not scout teams? This quarterback CAN'T throw...why aren't we spying him on every play??!

Looks like the 2023 defense is back

Man, look at that crowd. There are tens of people there!
