This is basically a pick um game. UNT has a bowl on the line, UTEP just ending the season. Does anyone know what has happened to the Miners since they beat UTSA at San Antonio a month ago?They have lost 3 conference games in a row to ODU, a good opponent, FAU and Rice, not so good but both road games. On another note regarding bowl eligible contests of interest, I pick Navy to beat SMU in Dallas to knock the ponies out of contention,La. Tech doing same on road at So. Miss., and UTSA to take care of business at home against Charlotte, giving CUSA 6 teams for our 6 bowls. I also predict rain tomorrow. But back to my original question, whats going on with UTEP?

They have a great NFL caliber running back.   End of list.

Think of Lance Dunbar, great back on a team missing too many other parts = Not many wins.

 

Lance's teams went 11-37 while he was here... not his fault.

How funny would it be if SMU and UNT both won this weekend and ended up playing each other in a bowl game. People on this board would melt down.

No one really likes rematches, especially the team that won. That's why I don't understand the BIG 12 having a title game after playing a round robin. I realize that it is all about the college championship , but if you are going to have a rematch for that purpose then you would have been better off adding 2 schools and creating 2 divisions.

I agree.  Hate what they are doing.  say the 2 teams beat each other and end up with the same record....who wins???

      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.

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      2025 DC Wish List

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.
