If we continue running this same defensive alignment, we are going to have to figure out how to average 2 TDs per quarter to win even a single game this year. We clearly do not have the athletes to run a 3-3-5 as we cannot stop the run and are not able to apply any pressure on the QB. Back to the drawing board to put the players that you have into the best possible situations you can create for them. Four-man front with 6/7 in the box, many more stunts, etc. Hey, even my wife, who only goes to the games to "people watch" commented "Aren't we too spread out on the line? They can run whenever they want." Stats would say that she is correct. Anyway, when you are last in the country it's OK to do some unconventional things. You can't be worse than last. Meanwhile, better figure out how to score at least 56 points a game.

Reported to be the 3rd largest crowd ever at The North Texas Volleyball Center. Way to Light The Tower, Ladies!

Yep. Morris better figure out a way to cover up for our leak LB corps or "3" will be our win limit, too.

We got schooled in Lubbock! Tech had us chasing the ball all night. Their field awareness was outstanding as was their passing!

Just an old school guy here. I'll probably just refer to it by a nickname, you know, something boring like "Eagle Stadium". My wife (also NT grad) thought I was joking when I told her the new name. Tried to explain the whole thing. It didn't take. "Fly Like An Eagle"
