What is Seth Littrell’s Legacy to You?
Hookset replied to MeanGreenTexan's topic in Mean Green Football
I briefly met him twice. One time he went out of his way to be kind to my grandson. Very kind man and great character. I’m regretful that he didn’t have more success here. I am certain wherever he ends up he will be successful. -
I disagree with this. Just because there is a talented kid in the portal doesn’t mean that you can get him onto your team roster. The kid gets to decide where he wants to play. Also many kids didn’t work out at the previous school because they were knuckleheads. Not a good idea to pick up a talented kid that was another program’s problem.

#1,2,5,6 can all be linked to poor defensive performance.
-
I think he got the most out of his offenses. It was frustrating watching the last 2 years of QB play. The lack of a short passing game was painful. Can’t only throw deep passes and run the ball. Ultimately I think it’s been his defenses. 2 out of 7 years he had a decent defensive performance. Most years, including this year, the defensive performance has been one of the worst in D1. Hard to ever excel if you can’t stop any teams. We were too often gashed by opposing offenses.

I agree. Which is so frustrating…

I often read that the major complaint with our current coaching staff is that they can’t win against OOC teams. These are played at the start of the season. I then read articles like this and see honest quotes like this “The game isn’t faster, but the players are far better,” Richards said. “That was something I overlooked. “There were some growing pains, but I have adjusted.” So many of our transfers are from JUCO’s and Div 2. Many have turned into good players and some like Mazin are excelling. But there still is a 3-4 game adjustment period before they are truly excelling. Many of our rivals (SMU, UTSA) are getting transfers from P5 programs. They are already used to the current game speed and have very little adjustments to make. I hope if we can keep winning, maybe we will get more consideration for P5 transfers that are used to the game speed and then our OOC performance will improve. Your thoughts?
-
CUSA only has one division this year. The first place and the second place teams will play for the conference championship after the season. We win this weekend and keep winning, (assuming UTSA keeps winning), we will finish second to UTSA and play them again in December. I want that rematch!!! GMG!!!
-
I personally think we will see them again in The Alamo Dome for the conference championship game. GMG!!!
-
I agree.
-
Most programs schedule 2 or more powderpuff games. OSU, Michigan, UCLA, Alabama, Georgia… I can continue. That helps them make adjustments where needed before losses can happen. Lamar was one and we were the other for SMU. My original question is, would we play them better in October or November and possibly beat them (like Tulsa did in November 2021) if we had a few games under our belt to develop our players like the P5 programs do?
-
I agree with we would play them better. UNT isn’t getting P5 transfers like SMU does. UNT gets JUCO’s and Div. 2 players that we believe can play up. There just is an adjustment period for the more complex schemes and speed of play. That takes a few games to adjust to (if the player ever is able to).
-
Damn…
-
What would be the result if UNT played SMU in October instead of the 1st or 2nd game of the year? Most big time programs schedule powderpuff games early in the season so they can work out coverages, assignments and such. We currently are SMU’s powderpuff game. Our new defenders made so many mistakes early in the season and SMU made us pay dearly. Now the new players (offense and defense) are understanding assignments and playing faster. I don’t think Tulsa is better than UNT and they beat SMU in November last year. Your thoughts?

Doesn’t Aune also have 1 more game played than most QB’s (0 week game against UTEP)?

Perfect example of why you shouldn’t do drugs.

*****OFFICIAL UNT vs. Memphis Game Thread*****
Hookset replied to Coach Andy Mac's topic in Mean Green Football
I swear, receivers are so used to being under thrown, they keep stopping on routes and the pass is actually on target if they would keep running. -
Mean Green vs Memphis: Score Prediction Thread
Hookset replied to Coffee and TV's topic in Mean Green Football
Memphis has a very good run defense. Passing defense is their “weakness”. I am hoping Aune plays the game of his life. Memphis has a good passing offense. We can’t pressure opposing QB’s and in turn our coverages are exploited. Can we develop a consistent pass rush? Let’s hope… Memphis 38 UNT 13 -
DRC: Depth chart for Memphis -- Daizion Carroll removed
Hookset replied to Brett Vito's topic in Mean Green Football
Yep. Doesn’t that make you wonder about the status of the backups? Or the QB coaches ability to develop better technique with all of the QB’s? If you are afraid to have the starting QB run with the ball because the backups can’t play, that’s a huge problem. -
DRC: Depth chart for Memphis -- Daizion Carroll removed
Hookset replied to Brett Vito's topic in Mean Green Football
I believe Aune will be the QB for this season unless he gets hurt or forgets how to hand off the ball. Next year’s QB battle will be between Gunnell and Ruder. Hopefully this experiment using an offensive line coach as a QB coach will be recognized as a mistake and we get a QB coach that can help them with their mechanics. Proper technique really does matter. -
The garbage time completions came when UNLV had their 3&4 stringers playing on defense. Other programs are getting transfer players from FBS schools. We are getting JuCo’s, FCS players, and Division 2’s. Just a big difference in talent.
-
Just doesn’t happen often enough.

I honestly don’t understand Littrell’s desire to keep playing Aune. I read after spring ball Aune made a huge jump. Then I read during summer training how his accuracy improved. Then I watch the games and wonder when it will show up in an actual game??? Other teams QB’s we have played against haven’t completed every pass. But when they do it usually is in stride and chest high. I am tired of watching our receivers slow down for a ball that they do catch. Or watching the ball skip at their feet or sail over their heads. Aune is great at handing off to our good running backs. Any of the other QB’s should be able to do that. We need someone that can throw accurately as well.

Hell, put soccer up top. At least they win conference championships.

Siggers doesn’t play for us. KD is a great player for us and I am glad he stayed. He was going to be a depth/defensive package player at A&M or Ol’ Miss. He is an every down LB for us.

Why don’t you go to the stadium from the south or from the east? Avoid the IH35/Bonnie Brae intersection. I avoid all lines into Blue lot that way. On second thought, keep going the way you are. I don’t like lines either.
