Okay that pass was awful.

Think he's done a really good job today, overall. Attacking that middle-zone between the LBs and DBs is actually shown to be the most reliable route to 20+ yd plays.

It's more like releasing an article about how a a chimpanzee community has taken over Ft Worth, and then showing the chimpanzees at the Ft Worth Zoo. Yes, there are chimpanzees in Ft Worth, but one thing doesn't mean the other. So I have to believe that: 1) Brett is trolling, and deserves ridicule for such OR 2) Brett doesn't understand basic football statistics and is thus bad at his job OR 3) Brett is lazy I think people assuming he's trolling is probably the most flattering conclusion. It's just a bad article. Has nothing to do with how I feel about the team. I've already pointed out how it COULD have been a good article, but that would've taken like 15 minutes of research, which is apparently too much to expect from a beat reporter, or somehow means slandering or "well, actually"... which isn't really that at all. Again, the expectation isn't that Vito has to talk BAD about anybody. it's simply that if he's got a premise stated in an article headline, the article should actually put some effort into demonstrating that premise. The idea that nobody can criticize a Brett Vito article that he's posted a link to on this site without it meaning something else is pretty silly.

Aune hitting those sideline in-between sideline throws pretty well today.

Think my score prediction is gonna be too low. Be nice if they bounced a ball off the turf here soon.

DL doing nothing.

It just annoys me to see a normal, balanced offense.

I want a turnover.

That was a pretty good pass for Aune... JUST outta reach and only our guy had a shot. Wish he would've stepped into it a little more.

Man these RBs are good.

LOVE the burst from Adeyi.

Brilliant strategy!

GREAT open field tackle from Gaddie.

Nice work from Rod Brown.

This circus needs a ringmaster, because all I see are clowns.

Watching a lot of Seth Littrell for very long?

UNLV 31- UNT - 27 Late score in garbage time makes it look closer than it is.

"Grant Gunnell is the Mean Green's Secret Big Play Weapon, Boasting an Astounding 18.75 Yards Per Completion." - BERT FACTS

And posting that these facts are misleading is called "slandering" by you. Got it. Also, the headline says Aune has our big play production SOARING. TDs don't mean big plays. As I and others have pointed out, the facts that Brett have posted lack any sort of context. He could've posted efficiency or YPA and made a salient point, without really going deeper into things. He could've posted the 20+ yard passing plays vs last year. It really wouldn't take THAT much time, and I assume Brett gets paid for his work. Instead he posted a counting stat for a QB with 50% more games played than most and Yards Per Completion. Then he gives credit to Aune for one of our RBs big running TDs, because, what, he has such a good handoff?

I mean, perhaps there's some area between "slandering" a QB and providing objective analysis of their play? Statistically, I think it's fair to point out things like 20+ yard plays, but I don't think you should ignore the completion percentage. I think it's strange to point out total TDs compared to other QBs, when only 5 or 6 of the top 40 have played 3 games so far. And, when you have a low completion percentage, as Aune regularly does, your yards per completion goes up. That's why for efficiency metrics, most people use Y/A as an overall. Don't use it WITH the completion percentage, because then you're basically double-counting incompletions. But pick your poison. We have total QBR as well. For instance, I believe Aune's YPA is over 8 this year, which isn't spectacular, but it's a ways up from last year's 6.7. Simplified, sure, but a fairly significant improvement. There's simply not much context here. I actually think it would be interesting to go through the increased big play production compared to last year, but we need to talk about the passing game specifically. Like crediting Aune for Adeyi's 59-yd run is kinda silly, when we've been getting 3-4 passing plays of 20+ yards per game. I'm not a big Aune fan. I don't think there's been much development in him for someone getting a ton of reps and a good bit of game time over 3 years, but I was looking forward to some actual analysis of the big play difference, and that argument wasn't even attempted. It's especially screwy given the headline.

Well, it was a joke, but no. I mean, maybe I just wasn't even including CUSA in the G-whatever anymore, and putting them in their own garbage tier. P2, P4, G5, G12.... meh. We gotta worry about ourselves and actually beat most of what's on our schedule over a period of time.

No, because with UT-OU gone, the Big12 is now the best of the G6. BOOM!

Sorry I wasn't clearer. I meant 5-7 TOTAL wins, which is his average. He has averaged 6 wins a season in his tenure here. It's just that the conference is such garbage, it's not hard to get 5-7 wins between that and a FCS team every year.

Jason Bean Austin Aune Will Kuehne Cole Johnson Kason Martin Amani Gilmore Luke Gombert Greyson Thompson Bryce Drummond Jace Ruder Stone Earle JD Head Grant Gunnell Now, I suppose it's POSSIBLE that none of these guys could provide better than we've seen since Mason Fine left, but what are the odds? I don't see any reason to believe that this random specific QB is going to solve the problem simply because he beat up on our defense. We need a real OC and a real QB coach. And then, Seth isn't going to make a change at QB regardless, because he cares nothing about the FUTURE of North Texas. If he doesn't win games today, he's gone. So he's gone into PREVENT coaching, hoping he can use the run game to get his 5-7 wins in a crap conference to keep his job.
