MGB: UNT-UTSA running blog (UNT will be without key player)

[NT03]

Zac is not the reason we lost that game.. Not even close. We shit the bed all day long with horrible defense & some awful playing calling

[Green P1]

Whit was our best chance at winning....

[Stan R]

This loss is on subpar defensive recruitment from a so-called defensive line guru.

[THOR]

Feel for the kid...he tried to make a play...nothing wrong with that...unfortunately the ball is oblong and weird bounces happen...

[CMJ]

Not gonna defend Mac on everything, but I feel like punting on 4th and 10 with three TOs was the right call. And you know what....it did work out. Then we screwed up the return. But who the hell ever plans for that.

I agree CMJ. It was the right call. Boneheaded play by Zac though. If we would've had a decent QB I think we would be bowling this year.

just poor execution, the ball was there, feel bad for him, guess he will be riding the bench all next year behind a sub par player, who is favored by DMac

[GMoney]

Punt by Mac was right call. A "Peter call is a Peter call" for a reason and everyone on the field must respect it. That's from junior high on up. Feel bad for Zac, but that was a big mistake. However, wasn't only reason we lost... Let's start with first half gameplan.

Time to slow your drinking roll

Another huge play was Marshall not falling on the muff punt that led to their winning drive. Players need to learn the rules....you cannot advance a muffed kick so fall on it!

He wasn't a starter this year but was probably penciled in to replace Lee or Jones.

This coach will always do what the book says. Never will deviate one time. Never a surprise.

He is by far the easiest coach to game plan for in the league and was completely out coached today.

I hope something changes, but I doubt it will. We are UNT and we are destined to suck. Why? Because we are ok with it. We have had the same mostly unsuccessful AD for 16 years.

16 YEARS!!!

Who does that?

Only a university that doesn't care about athletics.

Not mad at Whitfield. He probably didn't believe the offense could get it done either. If he would have taken it to the end zone, coach would be praising him right now. We lost today because of our coaching and recruiting (or lack there of).

Although I have great respect for coach Mac, the truth is, we are 0-2 verses UTSA, and that is completly unacceptible. After four years of recruiting, we should not be in this situation. We should have a FBS caliber QB. We should have more weapons at the WR position. Coach Mac is a defensive guy. We should have more depth at the D-line.

Coach will talk about execution, and protecting the ball, but those things go without saying, and UTSA did as bad a job as we did.

The simple truth is we can't afford a coach that can't beat UTSA. I am very angry right now, so I'm going to log off and try to cool down before I really start bitching.

[CMJ]

I have to look up historically, but it seems like every time we beat SMU, we have a disappointing season. As much as we want to win that game, maybe it's not the best idea.

. I wish I'd been drinking for this one....

[FirefightnRick]

Well im very excited for the spring and next season we have alot of young studs that are going to be great for us wilson with a college offseason under his belt is going to be a monster for us next year

Yup, with 4 brand new inexperienced linemen blocking for him as they face another year of 8-10 fronts to run into. I can't wait!

Sigh...I bet Perry doesn't sleep for days. A great special teams day destroyed by special teams.

Wilson fighting for extra yads he looks nice just lite in the pants

Announcer calling Wilson the potential starter for next year (SAY WHAT!!)

He became the starter this year as a true freshman by game 3 of the season. Then he got injured. He may be the most purely talented player on this team.

[Ben Gooding]

New. OC. Please!!!!!!!!!!

Canales is bad, really bad. He has to go. Dude does nothing within the game to manipulate the offense to the give defense. He just rolls out the same garbage regardless of what the D is doing. It's pitiful.
