Yes, I remember that game. Let's do it again tomorrow!

McCarney and his players said they didn’t find a root cause for their struggles.

I think we all know the root cause for the offense's struggles...

100 yards on the ground and 100 yards through the air, while balanced, won't win you many games.

In other breaking news, the sun did come out this morning, people are still being born, dying and paying taxes.  Now on to the weather.

[Marty]

3 straight runs up the middle after the botched punt wasn't very balanced!

[keith]

Let's see....34 passing plays for 128 yards and 33 rushing plays for 112 yard.   Can't get too much more balanced than that.  At least the goal was accomplished, right?  Oh wait, final score 31 - 13...never mind.

Welcome to the jaded side Harry.

Not to mention doing this with your 3rd/4th string RB since Wilson is out and the Jimmy Shuffle is not what you want when calling that particular kind of play.

Translation:

3.77 yards per pass attempt. 3.39 yards per rush.

Ew.

I think Vito is a bit confused as to what Mac was telling him--he likes the balance when the punt and pass game are equal. Completions to punt ratio seems to be pretty close since 2014.

[GOMG2013]

I'm just asking...how do we know if pass is called, but mcnulty is checking out of those plays to runs?  He plays so safe, I can see him changing it to run so it won't be his fault.

I am still convinced that Vito is locked in a closet somewhere in Apogee, and someone else is writing these articles.  I truly hope they are feeding him, maybe given him a T.V. so that he can watch sportscenter, because after all, he is a SPORTS writer, and he is a pretty good guy.  I wonder if he even knows that the Rangers of Arlington just took 4 straight from the Houston BUTROS and after a putrid 8-16 start.....Wait a minute, you can start bad and still be in the running for a championship?

Someone probably should go by his house and check on his dogs, because dogs do not deserve the collateral damage of your dad getting kidnapped so that the old school communist regime can censor the right to free speech, and telling it exactly how it is.  I miss such insightful writing which always includes at least two "Out at the Darrel R. Dickey practice fields" references

I rely on UNT football as a reason to live.  Good bye cold cruel world!

Shocking statement here: The Cowboys always played best last year when Romo and Murray both had good games.

“We have to keep our tempo up,” UNT wide receiver Carlos Harris said. “We didn’t have it as fast as we had it in practice. We also have to execute on some plays we should have down the field. We missed some blocks, some passes and dropped some passes. It’s a collection of things. We have to run the ball, the quarterbacks have to make the throws and the receivers have to make the catches.”

This crap is ridiculous. I didn't realize Greer, Smith, and Means failed to make their throws Saturday, that stinks. They sure did look good in their red hats though. The Teflon is strong with #5.

I'll bet Ray is there.

Someone remind Coach Mac he has 3 other people on the sideline, wanting to prove they can throw the ball on gameday.

Vito could've saved himself some time and answered the questions himself using very generic coach speak and it would've come out exactly the same...
