North Texas vs. Iowa OFFICIAL Game Thread

[JRock]

Same story....hope...then get your heart ripped out. 

[97and03]

No pressure 

[Gibbz]

Linebacker play was awful last year and appears to be just as bad this year.

[BTG_Fan1]

Iowa got a major lift from this Fresan RB young.. he changed the Iowa offense

[outoftown]

If either side of the ball were even average on third down, this would be the best UNT team since at least 2013

Is Preston still in? Or is ejected after his 2 unsportsmanlike penalties? 

I don't see preston in the game anymore.

One can analyze and criticize without "quitting" on their team. I think most of us here have been watching and supporting this team for many seasons, many of which have been miserable. I think it is fair for folks to be critical and disappointed. That doesn't mean they have "quit" on their team or made their season ticket purchases, donations or support any less valuable.

sure. I've been embarrassed, angry, disappointed, bemused and overtly negative about this program over the last 16 years. I've seen a lot of terrible football, and the older folks have seen a lot more.

today shouldn't be one of those days. there is a lot to like...a lot to clean up and a lot to improve on...but again, this team does not suck.

I know were are not suppose to win .... but to play undisciplined and the POOR performance on 3rd downs (both O and D) sucks 

[GMG24]

Complain all we want, defense has to get off field on 3rd down, offense needs to put together some drives... 38 minutes to 19 in TOP will never win a game

I saw him on the 3rd down that Iowa converted.

No one said they suck but Iowa regularly runs on 3rd and long and gets it easily. That means we lose the game.

still proud of NT, to a point. The penalties, especially the unsportsmanlike conduct were stupid

Exactly. The penalties are inexcusable.

Oh, I agree. While "moral victories" are not something I've ever been a big fan of, there is some good here today. 

Just don't like to see fellow fans at each other's throat, and I don't think anyone being critical of the team or analyzing where we are in this game means they have "QUIT" on the Mean Green. That's my only argument.

[CMJ]

Great effort.

Agreed, the penalties are costly and SL needs to make sit players.. Preston should I'm sorry but hurt us ALOT

Agreed, the major difference was in the mid-late 3rd Quarter

Agree totally. The drive Shanbour engineered was picture perfect. But alas back to the bench so we can "manage the game"

[FirefightnRick]

Thank goodness we used all of our timeouts there so they can have time to punch in a cheap TD.

 

Geez!

[Green P1]

I didn't get to see the first half.... but there hasn't been shit to feel good about in the second.  Not shit.

This L isn't on the offense.. it's on the defense and crappy punting.. 

Preston, Kensworthy hurt us A LOT

[97and03]

Why these time time outs? Guaranteed touchdown on the 4th down here

The punting and the penalties were killers. But it is silly to ignore that the offense put 0 points on the board in the second half. Now looks like "same old North Texas " now

[MattyV]

Geez, north texas has converted 0 for 6 third down attempts.
