Oregon Does...

I 2nd this.. let him sit out next week and hope for the best with Morris, and he should be better on the with another week of practice and confidence from tonite. Roll into a bowl game with Wilson and fine at 100% plus Morris is a solid backfield

Agreed but again, why not just run the ball to end the 1st half but yet they gambled and it blew up in their face big time..

HE was warming up, but after every pass he was move around his shoulder like it wasn't feeling right. What I also like is now UTEP has to prep for 2 totally different QBs as well now.. could be a huge advantage for us.

No stupid flags and even more costly turn overs.. and at times very questionable play calling.. I would much rather have him go out of bounds then risk it like mason does at times

And people thought Unis don't help in drawing a potential recruit... great timing and great W to bring these bad boys out.. just look at what they did to us

The stadium did get impressively loud though for the last 2 USM drives deep in their zone

Very thin, and they gave out free tickets.. kinda sad

Biggest question I have is why did we not run the ball to end the 1st half.. us going 3 and our hurt.. Yes he does, they had to somewhat respect the deep ball tonite which was refreshing to see. Agreed with it being Nice Morris got a W to stick it to everyone on here that is a hater to him.. but that game was a lot closer than it shoulda been. Stupid turnovers that weren't Morris fault and the players not lining up correct was terrible.. more attention to detail is needed!

I did see somewhere were Mashell(The QB we went after from Belton) was trying to keep him committed, and also saw some stuff btw the TE we got from Belton and Corrales..

what about the DT in your family??? anything?

Good thing we can offer playing time

One of the Texas High School Ranking services tweeted this about the kid

After the blow out by Portland State, we got rid of Mac... which lead to SL and the eventual stepping down of RV, thus bringing us WB... I think those have gone our way.

I hope C-USA and them are smart enough to pair up the power schools that could beat them because that should improve the payouts as well for the entire conference.

oh okay, well to the advantage of UNT is if we get to 6 wins, is that we will have barely any travel expenses going to the HOD, which C-USA should like alot

Do you know the order of the CUSA bowls by chance?

yes please add this kid... class of 2014.. I know its unlikely but any chance he is a grad transfer? I'm assuming not, but he is following Murray and English http://www.hudl.com/video/3/439076/5721a97dc124573b543570bc

I do agree about that, but how much higher is UTSA if you take out their 4* recruit? The kid has switched multiple times and having legal trouble I believe... But UTSA has a few more boom or bust kids in terms of whether or not they can make it to signing day and play next year

Why should we want to settle on 4 wins? 5 could get us into a bowl game, and 6 def will... I bet if Vito were to ask SL are you and your staff going to settle on 4 wins or try and win the last 2, SL would say he wants to win the last 2... Expectations can change.. and should when you see results...

Not going to say the lack of UNI design has hurt us in recruiting, but it hasn't helped either.. Some schools like Oregon have UNI designs 3 or 4 years out planned already.. and we got the same 4 or 5 :(

I would think we have less than 25 because of blue-shirts, but I have no idea how many blue-shirts we ended up with. Everyone on here is a huge fan of Fine, and everyone here hopes that he can/will turn this program into something special. But we also, all of us should realize that if someone better comes along, then we should play that QB don't you agree? They did it with Morris.. QBs are just like Starting Pitchers in baseball, you can never had enough of them.. Look at Texas A&M, they lost 3 top QBs prospects in a matter of 2 years in Hill, Murray, and the kid that went to Houston. Just because we want/think the team needs to bring in more QBs doesn't mean we don't like or don't support Fine, its a #s game.. But today at practice they only had 3 healthy QBs to throw passes in Morris, Quinn, and Cason.. Bringing in more kids to play will lead to better competition, thus will lead to a QB coming out of it as well. Again all of us like and love Fine, but what is Pearson comes in and does what Fine did this year in the fall and Fine just average, who would you go with? Because in that sense, we would start with Fine and then Pull him at first chance and put int Pearson just like we did to Morris... Also, we all do agree that they need to bring in better OL and they already have 2 OL Commited vs the 1 QB commited(Cade) and 1 PWO in Izzy... Also, last year they went out and got OL late in the recruiting process in Haynes, so we can still add these guys possibly as well.

That is how it should be with every QB... the problem is everyone is wanting to play him no matter what and that is understandable to get him ready for in the future, but right now we have a chance to go to a bowl game.. literally we had win 2 out of 5 games to get to wins.. or 1 out of 5 to get to 5 wins.. 2 out of 5 shouldn't be not-do able let alone 1 for 5.. But this team has regressed in terms of stupid penalties, costly turnovers(Yes, Fine has added to this), lack of ball possession at times which has lead to the defense being exhausted at times, and the lack of the defense getting turn overs itself. The bowl game should be more important for us right now than next years bowl game.. we are 1 or 2 games away from this years, and 5 or 6 away from next years and who knows who all will be on that team. We should be focusing on going to a bowl game this year for Buyers and Scott and company... No more lets pack up shop and pray for 2017, pack it in and play for 2016. I would understand playing fine if we didn't had a chance of getting to a bowl game, and I think everyone here wants Fine to be the kid that turns this program around because he is a very likable and honestly great kid for the program and UNT. But we all can admit he has been in a really bad rout, he got lucky vs. Army when he should have had multiple INTs, and then it has shown up in the past 3 weeks. Fine could just be worn out from the beating he has taken with this OLine, but he can also be faulted for holding the ball at times to much and also not sliding at times... Another mystery that we should be asking, is does Fine have the ability or grasp of the offense enough for him to change the play at the line of scrimmage because he has missed some very big blitzs at times. But again we have a chance to go to a bowl game, so if we really are playing for the future it should be playing to get into a bowl game.. that is added practice time and another reason for recruits to come to UNT.

I would dislike for us to bring in more then 2 QBs.. and now we are sitting at 3 apparently with Cade committed, Izzy as the transfer and Auggie as a walk on apparently. I only dislike this because we need to bring in WRs and OLine as well and QBs can only play 1 spot on the field.. but right now an argument that I agree with, is bringing back as many QBs as possible. And hopefully you find one who clicks. So if that means we bringing in 4 or 5, I don't like it but if they've are talented and can produce more power to us. I also think we need to be talking with these QBs that we are recruiting and bring in their top targets as well, as PWO or even on scholarship.. I think and people have agreed in the past, bringing in a player who the QB is comfortable with can help that QB develop.

Thanks for the update.. I hadn't seen anything posted nor heard about it recently. With the role Mean Joe played with homecoming, I thought it maybea good time to find out.
