Very interesting, I wish he was coming at the start of summer to get into some classes in and get familiar with campus life at UNT.  Maybe this means that we will have an up tempo run heavy version of the spread in 2016.  When you can run from the spread effectively at a high tempo it is really devastating to a defense.  Hell ever Nick Saban can't really handle it because it doesn't give him time to make adjustments to his defense.

I expected to we some tempo change on Sat but I guess they want to get the basics in.  Also having a new center probably played a part.

Someone with x and o please address the following concern. High tempo can devestate an opposing defense IF you move the chains. If not, quick 3 and outs devestate your d, no?

As to the 2nd part of your question, see UNT offense circa 2015.

that goes without saying you hsve to string some plays together which requires you get some first downs.

I know I'm viewed suspiciously on the board, but I've read on other posts it took 3 years to impliment this system at another school and 10 to 20 players (new to program ) are arriving this fall. This sounds like this season is going to try the souls of all on this board.

I guess when stated that way, that is true of any offense.

Not really, it is the tempo and running the ball effectively with tempo that is the key.  If can recall Oregon in the playing FSU the year FSU won the national title with Winston.  Whenever Oregon got 2 first downs the defense got overwhelmed and Oregon march all the way down the field using tempo to keep them off balance.  The tempo makes frustration a weapon of the offense faster than just the old school Darrel Dickey ground and pound.    So instead of your running back looking unstoppable in late third quarter they start breaking big runs in the second quarter.  The defensive players are so focused on just getting lined up right they can even begin to think about what kind of blocking scheme you are using in the run game and what technique they use to counteract what the offensive lineman across from them is using on them.   It's a basketball fast break on turf.

Given his size and return ability, I'd guess he was more of a replacement for Ivery--should we lose him to grades?

with the rest of this semester and two summer sessions, online courses etc I would hope this is not yet a foregone conclusion.

I wonder what Jeffrey Wilson thinks of this.

He's a complement to Wilson's style of play

Besides, if our snap count is increasing (and not because we're playing catch up in the last quarter) I would like at least 3 solid RBs out there.

      UAB (12/31/24)

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
