McNulty has played a decent game

UNT90 · October 19, 2014

Damn it McCarney- I don't care that we are +2 on turnovers and "came up a little short" We got our ass beat in nearly every aspect of the game. Not the post-game interview responses that I wanted to hear.

Pure coach speak on the post-game interview. That tells me Mac knows this year is done and he simply has to do his best to build toward next year.

Lots of problems with this team.

Lots.

At 0-3 in the conference, 2-5 overall ... we're now in last place in Conference USA.

Give me Dajon or take my season tickets!

BYE!

2-10

You may or may not be joking, but this is a serious possibility.

I think we'll look back on this game as the watershed between a team playing with heart (just not enough skill/size) VS a team just coasting out the year.

We just gave up over 500 yards to a team that averages 320. Who do we beat?

F_U (Not sure which one, but both are home and I think we will beat at least one of them)

Interesting stat

Numbers pulled down by Terrell drops.

McNulty was not great, but he had a much better game than most of the team. Any QB is hampered when the team only has one receiver. This receiving corp maybe the worst I have seen at NT excluding Harris. No one can get open or catch the ball when they do. The touted OL is average at best and the defense is awful.

Well we can beat ourselves every week it would seem. Guess that is glass half full comment

THIS IS A VERY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION ON WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Our offense has played well. And McNulty has proved himself tonight

20 points at home against a really bad defensive team. That's not really proving yourself. McNulty was not good. Got completions on badly under thrown balls, a couple of which should have gone for 6 instead of just a completion.

The poor showing to anyone not named Carlos Harris is what bothers me. There were a LOT of drops should have been caught. No, I'm not saying every pass was great nor that every pass should have been caught. But our receivers did not help McNulty.

Eppie96 · October 20, 2014

McNulty did not lose this game, but I do not think that he was capable of winning this game (I do not think that he could have played better)

Rice will have a lot of tape on McNulty, and a lot these easy throws to Harris will not be there next Saturday.

I hope I am wrong.

Go Mean Green. Beat Rice

I saw a lot of slow to throw passes and short passes on long throws. An over throw on a key third down with less than a yard that should have been a run. (thanks Canales) It looked like we would have scored and maybe set a different tone for the game.

17-29 for 248. Very DT like. Lets put him in the HOF.
See what happens when you don't have TD's coming from special teams and the D?

Best post from the whole weekend. A great number of people said this last season - the special teams and defense were so good that they made up for the shortcomings of the offensive game. Which, that's a great thing to have. It's great to have a defense and special teams that can hang 21 points on another team. Hell, they become offensive units on their own.

The problem is that the offense is now having to pull the weight of the other 2, which it simply can't do and it shouldn't be asked to.

Which is why many have said that we probably would have won 11 games last year if the offense hadn't been completely and totally inept, most of the time. The rest of the pieces were in place.

Now they aren't.

Even the SMU game was largely won by the play of defense and SMU's love affair with turning the ball over.
