Honest question to the gambling people out there... In the NFL the home team gets 3 points.. I'm assuming they do the same in college with it likely being more than 3 points.. does anyone know?

Everyone (or most everyone) is nervous about our defense.. But we can only hope that Jenkins can step in like he did last year (and even last night) and play better than Brooks... To me, If our offense can keep performing that is the real worry.. Yes we will see some explosive offenses, but C-USA is seems to be whoever has better QB play can win.. Right now Fine is playing a high level and so is this offense. Just have to hope that Jenkins can plug that hole we have had with Brooks.

Them missing a fumble, without the refs going to a monitor to look was dumb.. They had a TV screen on the sideline, and whoever reviewed the play missed it..

Darden atleast was back on the field (after a bad looking injury at Iowa), I know he was out there for a PR but not sure he did anything outside of that..

I think I saw FAU lost to Buffalo back up QB and 3rd string RB? People are saying the honeymoon with Kiffen is already over with..

When we are having to discuss stitching failures, I think it's a good sign

It is very worrisome, and it was telling no Wildcat/direct snap to Jeffery either. What is worrisome is no push from the OL.. I said it in another thread but will leave out the name.. if you can run behind an OL that has 50-60 lbs on the name across from him that is very worrisome.. the OL knows when the snap is coming and they still get pushed back, also the lose of Maiki has likely impacted it with no true FB... Brining in a 6th OL needs to be considered, and a true power RB like that kid in OK, Lee, that has visited UNT in the past. We need a power back like MB3, TJ Duckett, etc because this is one of the problems with the spread. Inside the 10, the defense doesn't have to cover as much.

No idea if he was injured, but isn't he 210-220? could it be due to size vs UABs 300+ avg? I'm assuming it's likely not that since he played vs Iowa but a possibly?

That being said, people in DFW need to be tweeting at NBC, Fox, CBS, ABC for UNT highlights on Saturdday and Sunday night sport cases.. One of the biggest (if not the biggest alumni) base in DFW they need to show UNT highlights than TCU/SMU even if they are better than we are..

Also that PAT formation, say someone lines up 4 guys on the LS, Quinn and Moore.. Quinn can get it and throw it out to the side with better numbers as well.

Both teams had calls go against them.. you had a the TD called back and they gave y'all a fumble when our RB was clearly down.. it's almost always like this in CUSA If "pushing your button" is saying UAB isn't a push over as people had thought then, my bad but that should be a complement (I thought)... But pointing facts of better recruiting, taking more risks with time for the players to get right, and practicing while shut down are the very reasons why people shouldn't have overlooked you guys.

They posted before the year what stations should be broadcasting the games..

He has said OCT, but he was still on cart thing for his leg and had sometype of heavy duty IV running from his waste down to his foot.. but he has been adamant he will return in OCT

No idea if people noticed but he teared up after the medal was put on him.. Great moment tonite was that and hope it can be put into the BTG show this

How is it not correct outside of a few assist coach changes? You kept the same HC, that allowed for the guys to know how things were done.. Yes you lost guys (more than likely anyone but every school loses guys) and you added and replaced them.. Also you did out recruit both years we have had SL, with us yall being #2 in 2016 and not sure (of the ranking) but y'all were ahead of us in 2017 per 24/7 which is the service most people here use.. Never said it was an advantage to shut down either.. As you stated, y'all were still allowed to practice like any normal team.. Being allowed to recruit and practice is an advantage in terms of getting your systems/playbook installed and just for players to feel comfortable. I think if you asked any HC if they could practice for a year, and not lose any eligibility they would take it... You can make and offer "deals" but again allowing guys to practice in a system for a year or 2 is great.. Again I have no idea, but I'm going to assume that the OC/DC weren't just hired recently (as in this past offseason) but they have been there for awhile and likely some of the first hires the HC made after Football said it would be back... To the ending, in the post of mine that you quoted, never did I say "advantage".. Yes you guys shut down, yes it sucks.. But you were still able to practice and recruit.. You were able to recruit kids that wouldn't be eligible other places and they didn't lose any eligibility (that's a huge advantage) allowing them to become eligible (as you stated. yes you had some good things like getting risky recruits, but you had to shut down to get that which sucks..

Well thanks for the update and hope we do get a few 254 posts.

What is at the bottom? Also, great showing by K.Smith for Shorter...

Another reason to follow UNT_Gridiron on Twitter! get the game info and recruiting alerts!

Who cares if we are favored.. How many games were we favored in last year? The games we were favored, how did we do? You still have to play the game! Yes UTSA is a solid team, but we get them and have 2 weeks to prep.. Let us hope we can have an UNT @ Army performance after the bye again...

Likely ESPN3... but it will be announced sometime during this upcoming game week..

It makes other teams to be aware on PATs.. If they don't line up correctly they can snap it to Quinn and they can go in for 2... Make the other team be aware every single play you have the ball

yes the secondary has been bad, but Jenkins made 2 plays that Brooks would not have (in his current funk)... Lets hope Brooks sitting for awhile will clear up his head and make him focus... We have no idea what UAB is... A lot of folks here thought UAB would be a push over.. UAB has the same staff, and has been able to recruit for years now along with allowing those players to practice... To anyone who thought UAB was a pushover, you need to reevaluate how you think... UAB in SLs first class (2016) had 19 3* recruits and a top 2 class in CUSA... UTSA beat a baylor team that is 0-4 and lost to Liberty... UTSA is a solid team, but playing the likes of Texas State, Southern, and Baylor isn't the same as what UNT has gone up against... The point about UTSA is that both programs have out-recruited UNT... Why discount a W vs UAB but not someone else who has out recruited us like UTSA, SM, LAT??

would love to see him at DT... he is a huge and could be a nice 2 gap guy, and is tall, have him get his arms up and have someone try and throw over him... Also, would be easy for him to know what to do.. The LBs could tell him where to go.. It says alot when the coaching staff wont run behind a guy who has 60-70 (probably even more) lbs on the guy across from him..

He was bad vs SMU, Iowa, and tonight... No idea if the not being at Iowa matters because it was on ESPN2... I'll be nice and say he has at least a 50 lb difference and likely 4+ inches on most of the guys he is going against... If he can't push his guy back for a short-yardage, i don't think much else has to be said...

He seemed more effective last year because the line was that bad... LOL
