Dodged a big bullet. Still can't believe that fumble. Holding them to a FG was huge at the end. Defense seems to be settling in (except for the stupid penalties). And, the offense is picking up steam. I like our chances if this keeps up.

That completely stupid fumble may change the complete momentum of this game. It really felt like our guys were about to take control. Why the hell did they not take a knee ?

Absolutely no words 😞

UTEP was getting gassed. That is the key to this game. Wear their butts down with the running game and hope Aune can be average.

3 personal foul penalties for 45 yards. Defense was playing well on this drive, except for those gifts.

Phil letting his players have it. Get em Phil. He's a damn good DC.

This is SPOT on.

Just run the ball and wear them down.

Aune's last 4 passes have been thrown out of bounds 😞

Should be 17-0. Yikes. Bennett has been good with halftime adjustments and I expect the defense to pick it up a bit. Our QB situation is another story though 😞

Gutsy call by UTEP. It works./

Actually, I did also hear this from a couple Dallas broadcasters. 15+ inches of rain in 24-hours (parts of Dallas) is insane and would smash the official DFW record of just over 9 inches.

It looks like a failed MIT prank at a Harvard/Yale football game 😆 For those too young, see the 1982 Harvard/Yale Game.

Yep. I cringed initially when reading this thread and let out a sigh of relief after.

Thank you Emmitt ! Maybe we should create a new forum for SMU only posts (joking) Frankly, I am sick of hearing about them here. The more publicity on the internet for SMU, the more you are helping their cause. Even bad publicity is better than no publicity.

I literally feel sick to my stomach reading this 😞

That's a start.

LOVE the jerseys. The helmet.......meh

I for one have lost a lot of interest. The rich get richer from NIL and the transfer portal. No real playoff system yet. Blah. I will root for my school. Outside of that, I have lost interest.

I don't know about anyone else. But, I am sick of hearing about SMU rumors. If it was actual news, it might be different.

This is so spot on regarding UTSA. And they still have crappy facilities (see basketball) and lower revenue than we do. We don't deserve to run with the big boys now, but UTSA is no better. One top 25 FB season and they are suddenly the second coming. People really show their ignorance when building up UTSA right now.

Sadly, this is exactly what I see coming 😞 It will still be better than CUSA. But, I can see Memphis and SMU being candidates for a watered down Big 12 (assuming the Pac 10 goes after the Big 12).

I am not as down on UNT football, as much as I am down on college football overall. The NIL and transfer rules have pretty much ruined it for me. That is why I don't really look forward to the coming season.

Outstanding and well deserved Grant !!

I know that QB transfers really have not really worked out for us. But, Gunnell actually has some serious playing time at the P5 level and done pretty well. If he does not succeed here, it is really going to point a finger at coaching. My concern is that Aune will do just enough to hold onto the job, preventing Gunnell from seeing the field. If Aune can't complete at least 60% of his passes, the decision to start him would have been a poor one.
