I like the O line movement.  Shows this staff isn't afraid to adjust and change some things around.

Sometimes you never know what you have until an injury or whatever occurs and someone else has to step in, then a star is born.

A huge gut check by this team.  They really like playing for this staff.

Holy snap, Wilson and Buyers with 75 yard TD plays.  Looking forward to the highlight video!

Pretty weird to read people say of Buyers, "a career best".

The big plays were huge.  Been saying we didn't  have any game breakers on this team, and these guys shut my mouth.  And thank goodness for that!!

I woke up to a win. Was having trouble with the stream last night and after Rice scored that TD in OT , I turned off the computer and said the Hell with this only to wake up this morning and see we won.

Absolutely. Don't forget Buyers also had a 60 yard TD to begin the second half negated by a hold.

So we knew Gunter was hurt, hence Woodworth getting the nod, but who did Henson start for?

Gunter. Henson started at right guard, where Gunter normally does

Oh?  So Woodworth started for Murray?   Was he injured?   I thought Woodworth was working at G?

Correct. I don't think Murray was so much hurt as he was bad against Florida. Starting 5 up front was Woodworth-Rice-Barr-Henson-Keenan

Gunter got hurt when he subbed for Henson later in the game

Murray struggled against Bethune Cookman, too.

Pass blocking was very bad. He's young and very big. Needs a little bit more time.

I think Murray can be fantastic at his position, but he still has a lot of work to do with regards to the mechanics of playing on the end of the line at his size. In both the SMU game and BCU he was routinely getting beat around the edge. From my observation, his first step is slow and he sets his feet too early. Those are mechanical things that he can improve on, and I think he will. Go Mean Green!

My not so quick thoughts on Rice game:

Really wish I had gone to Houston, a lot less tension than trying to watch on Owl vision

Sound when available was dominated by NT fans and travel band, great job

Fine continues to grow, have now completely forgotten he is too short to play big time football

Offensive line still very much a work in progress

Wide receivers took a needed step up

Wilson, my grandson's jr. mean green buddy had great game

Defense continued to progress

Another solid game by defensive backfield

Special teams not as great as last week, but satisfactory

Schilleci great tackle on Rice punt return

Finney and Combs, 2nd year Jucos,  play getting better and better

Surprised at speed NT has this year

Wilson boys, Ivery, and despite some opinions: Buyers has never been slow

Hope and think this game will carry over to the MUTS game.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
