I wouldn't be surprised to see him put on 20 pounds and the rest of the line lose 20 pounds over summer workouts. Fact is we don't need maulers for this offense and that's exactly what we have. We need agility on the line and that's exactly what we don't have. Hopefully that's stressed over summer workouts

I see it as Morris is only here for this year. Shanbour is here for the next two. Why not start Shanbour, let him grow in the system, that way we have an established starter going into the 2017 season? I don't think Morris/Shanbour will be the difference between 2-10 and 7-5, so why not let the guy who will be here next year have growing pains so he can better adjust for next year? Morris guarantees we hit the reset button at the most important position on the field two years in a row. Look at what smut did with Matt Davis, he grew as the year went on, made some plays with his legs, and now is firmly entrenched for this year.

To that point Shanbour had about a 60 yard breakaway run for a TD that was negated because someone barely touched him. That's probably to the house in a real game situation

I seriously hope Morris/Shanbour take the reigns and work with the backs/receivers as much as possible over the summer. Timing and ball placement are easily the two most important aspects of this passing attack and we could use all the help we can get in those regards

In your opinion, as someone who has seen multiple practices/spring game is the gap between Shanbour and Morris a lot smaller than some would lead us to believe? Or is Morris going to be the savior of UNT football a la HOD Bowl Champion MVP Stud Derek "Jesus" Thompson?

I think both Goree and Rutherford will explode in this offense. I still have my doubts about who's throwing the ball, but the talent is there on the outside. Hope we can utilize it properly

Maybe Littrell specifically told the offense to limit the number of runs on Saturday to focus on the pass game. That's my hope at least. Or maybe I'm just blinded by my skepticism to the actual run/pass ratio on Saturday and going forward

I understand the need for pass catchers for this offense but we literally went from the Power I, run the ball 40 times a game, offense, to the "we will never run the ball ever again because swing passes are runs" offense. Good lord

I follow Underdog Dynasty on twitter and occasionally check the site for content. One thing I have consistently noticed is every school has a solid 3-4 articles written about them over the past couple months. UNT has had one article in the last two months and it was a fairly short article about DaMarcus Smith's departure. No spring game thoughts, no "6 players to watch going forward". It's frustrating seeing a platform where we can post quality content and see NutsaCK post 3 articles a week while our last post was March 11th. Do we have anyone that has the experience/time that might be able to contribute?

I wouldn't be surprised. Give him the reigns, let him run around, we have another year of him to groom Fine who has the same stature/abilities. It would allow the line to adjust for a shorter QB that can run for the next few years. I'm just not convinced Morris is the guy, especially after all of the positive reviews of Shanbour over the last couple years and after the spring game. He seems to make quicker/more decisive reads than Morris anyways, as noted by some saying he is the smartest QB in the room.

I think the AD/Vito/Media are pushing the Alec Morris narrative so heavily because they so desperately want him to be the guy. Even Hank said several times in the spring broadcast that he is better, and was better last week etc etc etc. I'm glad when they interviewed Littrell after the game he spoke highly of Shanbour. I think Morris was crowned a little too early in his tenure here and has a big head. Like I mentioned before, Shanbour ran the table and I hope it heats up competition for Morris to perform better, because he was underwhelming to say the least on Saturday

really liked what I saw from the defense. Overload pressures, pressures from multiple positions. Man coverage. It was a lot of fun watching those guys pin their ears back and get after the QB. O-line is a worry, but I have faith in Littrell and staff. I hope we mix in some pistol looks to get the run game and Wilson more involved. Ivery will be a key weapon that we need back as well. The slot position will be the key in the success of the passing game and I like what I saw from 87. Hopefully Dillman gets more looks. If we have consistency between the hashes, the outside will open up more. Shanbour was, in my opinion, much better than Morris. He found an open read and ripped it, also showing good awareness to pull the ball and take off as needed. Morris has about a DT level arm from what I can tell. An upgrade from McNuggets no doubt, but hardly a world beater. If we played smu next week I would give Shanbour the nod. Hopefully this lights a fire under Morris' ass to get better

Disguising coverages and multiple defensive fronts? You mean rushing 4 and playing a cover 2 every play isn't effective? Who knew

3000 friendly people and a few old soreheads

I seriously think he could be our Jakeem Grant

They've seemed to step up their video production game this year. A lot more access to players/coaches/practices than previously(at least in my opinion)

Congrats to Deion! Excited to see that speed translate to the field

Can we have a safe space for when I feel oppressed by UNT90?

Thanks Tulsa and Northern Arizona

Or McCarney would set up four verts and run a draw play, because it's Dan McCarney. Seriously so pumped for this guy. I think we knocked it out of the park with this hire and I'm hoping the next few seasons will show this. It's interesting those who compare Littrell to Dodge. Dodge's spread was more of a death by a thousand cuts attack. This air raid is going to push the ball downfield and often. It will be fun to watch

But Harry, did you know that Rick Villarreal is a horrible athletic director?

As long as Nickelback is played extensively throughout the games I'm good

This fight is like two midgets arguing who's shorter

Gonna be there with my Aggie friend. Show him what a real spring game looks like
