Looking forward to this game this year, we should have beat them last year.  I wonder if Seth will do the everyone gets to play strategy for the last game that we saw last year.  I don't care if everyone plays if we are up by 40 its.

I totally agree. I came up for the UTEP game and I was furious when I saw who was starting. I don't care who doesn't get to play. This isn't 4th grade rec football. We recruit against UTEP and that was a giant middle finger. Chico is a class act but that move was bs. Send those seniors out with a W too. A win at the end of that crushing season would have meant something to everyone on that sideline.

It's our Superbowl. I can't think of a bigger game for North Texas in a long time. From the ashes to a potential bowl birth. That coaching staff we have are amazing no matter what. Who would have guessed we beat Marshall or Army. I love this season.

I agree this game should be treated as big time by everyone involved. A good chunk of money is on the line, 15 additional practices for our young team, recruiting tool implication, a fun atmosphere of a bowl for the team on the line, etc. This game cannot be looked at as just another game. Winning this game has to be put on the highest of pedestals. BEAT UTEP

There is no doubt in my mind that the coaching staff and the team are on a mission...no funky roster for UTEPl.

Should make for a good crowd at Fuzzy's in Allen watching the CUSA.TV stream.  This game isn't televised.

Could it get picked up by anyone? I hate that none of our games are widely broadcast. This is the biggest game of our season and we cannot watch it on tv.

November 23rd, 2013 2:30pm was the biggest game was the last time we kicked off with a comparable amount of good things on the line.

Utep will look to be the spoiler it could be a very tough game, I hope we are well prepared for this one. 

Agree with them playing spoiler..

but do we know are they a young team? Or are they older? If they are older, maybe best we come out and have anything big 1Q which builds into a solid 1Half.. could then lead to them playing the younger guys for the future and easier for us

they run an offense like UTSA.  They still have Jones as there running back, i think this is 8 th year there.   I hear they have trouble with mobile QB's which Morris is not.

Jones is a beast, but Lance Dunbar proved you can have an NFL caliber back and if nothing else is going then you won't win much.

UTEP is ranked:

  • 108th in Rush Defense
  • 110th in Scoring Defense
  • 110th in Red Zone Defense
  • 98th in Turn Over Margin
  • 112th in Total Offense 
  • 102nd in Scoring Offense

I by no means expect this to be a cake walk.  However, if we take care of business in practice and film study this week, and win the turn over battle (we're 57th) then we should win.

Is there anywhere in Denton where one could watch the game? I always see Allen is showing the game but no way we can drive that far. Why aren't local places showing the games?

That's because Collin county alums have created it...someone in Denton needs to blaze the trail for those types of things.

A loss to UTEP would be totally heartbreaking.  We are absolutely capable of losing to them but we are the better team and if we take care of business this week we will be fine.  This is a big week for Seth.  He can push his career so far in one week. If Alec continues to get the snaps I'm confident he will finish his career strong.  Refreshing that we have been winning on the road this year.

this could be like the UTSA choke job in 2013, Conference Title on line and DMac throws an egg, hopefully Littrell has team prepared for Juarez North, and clinches Bowl Bid, versus getting into bowl at 5-7 for being a good academic participant.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      My understanding was we offered him along with Farrar (his RB teammate) and were on hold if SMU got another guy they had ahead of him. We were all over this kid though because we were recruiting his teammate. I have been hearing he was a very undervalued talent for a long time.

      What is this program missing?

      What's so frustrating is that we were there, on the cusp. We were THAT team. WE HAD THE MOMENTUM (starting in 2017) until Littrell's flirtations with KSSt. The wheels fell off after that.... starting with Fine's injury in the NM Bowl game that year, then Harrell getting hired away & replaced by Bodie Reeder. The next season, the lackadaisical SL showed up and he wasn't having fun anymore. No more high energy, "Get after their asses!!". Instead, it was low energy, "we gotta do better in all 3 phases".... Then, we fired Littrell, and rightly so, but brought in Great Value Seth Littrell to replace him, which was a bone-headed move.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      He was only recruited as a reserve; mainly to get in on the SOC/Dallas pipeline. (15 minutes away). Their guy was 4-Star QB Preston Stone of Parish Episcopal. Stone was injured and hasn't performed up to expectations. Jennings exceeded expectations. Not great but effective.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.
