That's not what I said at all. I think everything that happened yesterday with our offense is questionable. But claiming that he's a bad leader and he's sucks based on only yesterday's performance- stupid. Leaders have bad days. I've even heard that they get nervous from time to time, also. I don't know if he's a leader or not.

Not from what I've seen this year. I thought that he was pretty darn good when I saw him vs Idaho also. I really don't know what happened but he doesn't look like the same player. I'm sure there's a story here. I agree and I wish they would've at least given him an attempt. We are obviously missing information.

I was actually referring to Texas. Not SMU.

I actually did ask this question at the game. And agree that we didn't really have a whole lot to lose at that point . But- he's not any better. I would've put Connor in before him but they couldn't do that because that would be burning his redshirt. Connor has been given a lot more reps in scrimmages from what I've seen. I think it was the first scrimmage that I didn't even see DW go in once.

Yep. BUT- Unless we throw a bunch of interceptions again- I don't think that SMU will end up scoring 20 against our defense.

I noticed that also. I also noticed how poor our film was when I had an opportunity to rewatch it.

When none of our quarterbacks can throw the damn ball and our running backs are getting SLAMMED- (I bet they are in serious pain today) Where do you go from there? I completely agree with an earlier post in regards to last year- it's debatable if our offense ever truly showed up last year. The games we lost last year were because our defense had an off day and our offense was terrible. The games that we won where because our defense destroyed the other team, our special teams was explosive and our offense played average- slightly above average. We at least had someone to take care of the football 75% of the time though.... That said- Why would you expect that? No one expected that with Derek Thompson at the beginning of last year and now we have his back up playing...

Was there any point in this game where you literally looked at our offensive situation and said "why don't we do ________? that will fix the problem." ??

How many people on here actually thought that we were going to win this game? And what would give you any indication that that would've been a possibility? It was very obvious that our quarterback was extremely nervous. It's Texas.... Every HS athlete in the state wants to be recruited by Texas. I was intimidated by their Tailgates so I think it's only natural for a JC transfer quarterback who has only been named the starting quarterback for less than a week- show nerves. So enough with the "he's not a leader and he's a pathetic quarterback". That was not the same quarterback that played in the spring game. He did play pathetic but his performance wasn't entirely his fault- The snaps were very low and he didn't have a whole lot of time to read the progressions. That being said- when he did throw the ball, it looked like he had a broken thumb. (I heard multiple people asking if he was hurt in the stands. ). And he stares down his poor receivers. He also made a couple of other really stupid mistakes. Our O LINE could not hold that defense. Texas' front 4- dear Lord. We won't play a defense that's nearly that good again. (Even at a bowl). I THINK IT'S A GIVEN- we are not At the same caliber of talent as Texas. I was frankly a little perturbed that Texas didn't perform better with getting some of the best recruits in our state (except this year). There were multiple first round draft picks on that field and the starters played the entire game. I thought that spoke volumes about what they thought about us. When you don't play your backup quarterback in a $$$$ game..... I don't feel like we got blown out even though we clearly did. It was clear that Texas wanted to run up the score as much as possible so it could've been a lot worse with the way that our offense played . There was one touchdown that was pretty much given to them by the officials. 1 was a pick 6. Our defense- is easily the best defense in our conference. They should give Skladany a raise. Our offense- I don't think anybody can really say right now. they were clearly shut down last night. But that was inevitable. If anyone wasnt expecting for Charlie Strong to bring a strong defensive team with the level of athletes he has to work with- you're crazy. I don't know how much anyone can project right now. I do however think that instead of worrying about this season being in the toilet- A more legitimate concern is how we did last night with injuries and how much do we need to pay Skladany to make sure he stays at North Texas....?

I'm trying to find my post saying not to long ago that UAB was going to be something special( despite the record last year). UTEP??? Lol. No. I really do not think that rice or us deserve to be ranked that low right now.

What? Time will tell... But Texas easily has the best defensive front 4 in the xii. Not to mention that they have linebackers that are so freaking fast that they can play safety at most schools.

You had a great day. Keep up your conditioning.

Does anyone know what gate to get tickets?

OHHHH my..... I'm so ready for tomorrow. We have to show up.... we have to show up ..... we have to show up..... Ugh. Nervous. Talk about a must-see game. After what conference USA did tonight.... Jeez. The whole country is going to be watching or streaming...

UT!

Yep. And he's expected to appear like an NFL quarterback while playing quite possibly one of the best defenses this year in the big 12. No pressure.

No... Seriously... Does anyone know? I know that it was mentioned that they may be in section 32.... did that person speak the truth?

Where are players tickets going to be located- Eddie? What section??

Yep. TRICE. and Brelan. Marcus was pivotal in our defense last year. He was very good but he also made everyone else better.

Shittle..... Hehehe.

Gah... Get some sleep, Emmitt...

I'm pretty sure I called a few things......

If you guys know as much about football as you claim to- then this is either a pot stirring post or diarrhea... Seriously....

. Good call.

You guys need to get over this DW thing. Obviously there something there otherwise he would be playing.... There's no conspiracy.
