How many of these players do we keep?  I feel betrayed by this team but still support the Green.  I am willing to go to bare bones and let the new coach build with hungry players who will wear our jersey with pride.

Yes Wilson is special. He could develop into one of the best backs North Texas has ever had. Here are his stats...

Tonight vs. Marshall: 17 carries for 138 yards, with an average of 8.1 yards a carry. Plus 1 reception for 9 yards.

On the season: 59 carries for 351 yards, with an average of 5.9 yards a carry. Plus 3 receptions for 24 yards. Not bad for just 5 games.

Most talented player on the team. Still sticking with that statement. Keep finding those under the radar kids out east. 

Billy, don't think there's anyway you can justify that statement for anyone else.  Wilson is the real deal! He needs more swing passes or wheel routes cuz that cat can GO!

He had a great game. The O still has no identity. At this point I would like to see Smith under center and watch the team play to its strength, Jeff Wilson. Running a 1 tight with a roving h back also provides far more easier and efficient throws for an adjusting QB. Just my .02.

Jeff Wilson what is his classification?

Wilson is the brightest light on the team at the moment and there are not a lot.

He's a sophmore. 

Has 489 yards on the year. Needs 511 through the final 5 games to get to 1000. 102 yards per game to reach it. It's feasible. 

So we have two more years for the new coach to build off this man!  I like what I am seeing.

351 seemed a little low to me. 511 is definitely doable, and I hope he can blow up for a 200-yarder or two in the final 5.

it's encouraging, for sure. I don't think we are as bad as our record or more importantly our play has been. There are pieces here and there that a solid coach could come in and build with. I actually think the O will be VASTLY improved next year with Smith having coaches that know what they're doing actually developing him. The OL will come back in tact and the offensive cancer that has grown to be is graduating. 

Call me crazy, but I think we have a decent core on both O and D. A good coach can give these guys a reason to fight again. Dan Mccarney was a motivation killer. They were numb to his monotone same ol same ol bullshit.

He is a huge, huge reason why I'm frustrated at the thought of RV making the next hire. I don't want to see these next two years be wasted. I truly believe Wilson could rush for 2000 yards in a season if he could stay healthy and we had an offense that best utilized his strengths.

Wilson is great, but I don't remember Cobbs, Jamario or Dunbar getting caught from behind as much as Wilson does. His speed is what will keep him from being super elite. 2,000 yards? No, but a good building block for the next coach.

With a little more blocking I think we will see an improvement.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.

      For those who don't remember, this is the guy who transferred out of Tulane to Duke. The guy will never have to work a day in his life. Now let the bidding wars truly begin. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/highest-paid-player-in-college-football-history-transfer-qb-darian-mensahs-duke-deal-is-sign-of-times/
