Just FYI...Turner Smiley's right hand was in a hard cast, that is supposed to come off next week...Guessing that will make fielding punts a lot easier!

That scrimmage was great. Lots of fun seeing how things are coming together. Morris and Shanbor looked good. DL must get depth. LBs were a pleasant surprise. Also, it is always fun to be the most tattooed man on a field of college football players.

Quinn Shanbour looked stellar. Especially after a couple of series in which receivers kept dropping Morris' passes. That said the receiving corps in general look to be taking huge leaps already.

The real concern that I had out of watching was the defensive line. We have thirteen names listed on the roster, but @North Texas Shep and I only observed seven working together in drills at a given time. Perhaps we missed where the other group was but it was odd nonetheless.

I'm talking just technique drills that the d-line unit was doing on their own with their coach. They were doing one particular form in pairs and as there were only seven players available, they had to pull a GA for one of the pairings.

Considering English has almost no chance to play next year, that's very scary.

I'm not sure who was missing because there should have been 8 DEs and 6 DTs.  The eight DEs are 30 (Roberts), 56 (Dilonga), 7 (Combs), 95 (Wheeler), 90 (T. Johnson), 50 (D. Smith), 90 (Ozougwu, and 99 (Flusche).  There are six defensive tackles...44 (S. Moore), 15 (Tuaalo), 49 (Young), 98 (Wegmann), 93 (Combes), and 34 (English).  I believe that the only ones not mentioned from various writeups were Dakota Smith, Tillman Johnson and Julius Combes.

Unless there is a PWO this fall, all of the defensive line are eligible to participate in spring drills.

Right. If I'm recalling numbers correctly (@North Texas Shep, help me out here), those seven in the particular drill we were standing next to were 30 Roberts, 56 Dilonga, 7 Combes, 99 Flusche, 15 Tauaalo, 98 Wegmann, 34 English.

Damn, you have a good memory. That sounds right. They even had a staff member (maybe athletic trainer) doing drills with them. Since, they only had 7.

They could have had a few guys helping other drills. In the position drills it was only them.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      Agree Mosley is a bad hire, the guy doesn't show any emotion and passion for UNT. Quite frankly, he's boring

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21) gets into the game. None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.
