luckily some guy named Wes Welker opened up the door for short shifty receivers to succeed and actually be sought after. Darden is that, AND he has straight line speed to go with it

If Darden isn't drafted I will officially give up on any Mean Green player being drafted ever again

Agreed. Although the lack of Iowa's and Florida's in his statement has me concerned.

Could play it at Grande, or hell even Ratliff stadium

Nah, just drunk in the parking lot fist fighting the other team's fans

Agreed. Bloesch has been the best OL coach we've had since Brad Davis, and look what happened to him.

Agreed, although I think he'll get scooped up by a P5, I'd personally love to see Billy Napier here, but never hurts to keep all options open

I wouldn't mind taking a look at him in two years after we fire Littrell.

So you're saying Aune is the godfather of your newborn? The sheer audacity. Sarcasm aside, as someone who also preferred Aune at the beginning of the season, his turnovers are an issue, and I hope Bean can continue to improve throwing the ball. At this point as long as we're winning, nothing else matters.

He still has a better arm than Bean. His turnovers are worrisome though. Like I said previously, when teams bottle up Bean in the run game, I'm not sure he can beat them with his arm alone. It may end up that he's so fast he'll never be truly bottled up, but I'm still skeptical of his ability to win through the air against a better defense. I think we'll have a better measure against LaTech and UAB than MTSU and HBU

I guarantee you a lot of P5's are already doing just that lol

I'm glad we got the dub, and I'm glad Bean played well. If he can win a game with his arm, I'll be a believer. Teams will stack the box with him and try and take away his speed. If he has to throw the ball 40 times, is he gonna look just as good? At this point just figure out a way to win. I don't care. I'm just tired of getting our asses handed to us.

Absolutely deserved. We might be turning into the G5 version of Texas Tech. Good at every sport except football

Got a couple true freshman starting. Maybe Littrell is starting to see these highly recruited young kids can actually play a little bit

He hasn't beaten an FBS team with a winning record in three years. two of the three bowl games he's gotten us to have been blowouts, we were blown out in our only appearance in the CUSA championship. We've been blown out by every FBS team we've played this season. It's one thing to lost by 3,7, hell even 10 points. We aren't doing that. I expect to at least be competitive with teams that are *supposedly* on the same level as us. We aren't. I'm undermining Seth because the results speak for themselves. Has he left us better off than McCarney? Hell Yeah. Does he deserve a pass? Hell No. He's paid like the best coach in the conference. He needs to start coaching like the best coach in the conference.

Looks like Seth might get us to a bowl after all. Wonder if we'll get smoked by 40 like the last three

Maybe a bit of a clickbait title but it seems to me that Darden might be this year's Carlos Harris.... Now obviously he doesn't have the attitude issues of Harris and is clearly a hard worker, but we aren't throwing it to anyone else. Is it trust? Is it lack of ability? We have all these stud WR that we've signed over the last couple years and they're not doing much/dropping passes. I'm afraid that as bad as it is, if teams start to double Darden(which they will), it's gonna get even worse. Harris was the only quality receiver(even if he was a douche in the process) on some really bad teams and it feels like Darden is starting to get that way. We seriously need somebody else to step up or I fear Darden is gonna set single season receiving records on a 1-10 team....

Senior year DT had the benefit of an all time great defense. Aune does not

Honestly if Aune can be our equivalent of Jack Abraham we'll be just fine. Obviously if he was better that would be great, but Abraham is an above average CUSA QB that is good enough to get at least get you to a bowl game every season.

Although makes you wonder about the kid he split time with his Senior year. If he can play, why wasn't he the outright starter? Injuries are one thing, but if I remember correctly he straight up got beat out. I could be wrong though.

Sounds like you have a personal vendetta against Bean /s

Aune needs to be under center barring complete disaster. The idea of Bean and his speed are intriguing but ultimately more gimmicky than a centerpiece of the offense, unless he turns out to be Cam Newton, which I highly doubt. This offense is built on pocket passing and accuracy(which Aune needs to improve for sure). It was that way under Mason, and when done properly can obviously be successful. Let Aune get in game reps, improve, take his licks, and be a polished starter for the next two years. If he gets beat in camp so be it, but at this point Bean is too much of a liability and lacks the arm strength to really drive the ball down the field when it matters. Aune can run a bit too. He doesn't have game breaking speed, but I'd say he's as mobile as Mason, which was good enough.

+3 at home? So we're basically a touchdown dog here. Absolutely pathetic

Congratulations, you've graduated to a real UNT fan. Now just repeat perpetually and you're golden
