UNT vs. Southern Miss OFFICIAL GAME THREAD

[Silent Eagle]

Not to be over optimistic but it seems like we have settled down a little. Still not good enough. 

[BigWillie]

Why are we running? Either throw it deep or take a knee.

[keith]

Wow...just wow.

[BigWillie]

Thank you. Going deep.

WIthout the turnovers we are probably tied at least.

 

OL did an outstanding job to give chumley time to get open, but then lets people jailbreak the next snap.  

[keith]

Point here would be huge.

[BigWillie]

 Fine has got to throw it away when he is under pressure, not into coverage!

[Cerebus]

Ugh Fine made another bad decision with someone in his face, luckily the USM player dropped it.  v

[Silent Eagle]

We're either penthouse or outhouse. 

[BigWillie]

Moore for 3, comon!

[Silent Eagle]

I don't think Moore has this much leg. 

[El Paso Eagle]

 Could we at least put in a play where the QB goes under center to spike the ball 

[BigWillie]

Damn!!! Smith had a TD!!

[BTG_Fan1]

54 yard from the 37

[Harry]

TREVOR!!!

[keith]

Game on!

[meaniegreenie]

Wow! Way to finish the half!!!

[Udomann]

4 point deficit at half...I can deal with that

[BigWillie]

Wow! What a half! That's what an offense does for you. Gets you back into games.

[El Paso Eagle]

 The good out of all of this is we have played a very rough first half but we get the ball first and could take the lead 

[BTG_Fan1]

Huge score.. would be down by 1 at least if it wasn’t a fumble

the sky is not falling anymore at half!!!

[Silent Eagle]

I'll take it. 

[Harry]

21-17 USM leads at the half.  Guys are fighting back from a 21-7 deficit.

So not to make light of injury, but is it a thing to have one of your players flop when you're out of time outs? 

You might enjoy this old news about "The Fainting Irish". This is true and I was a young Indiana kid when this went down:

"Head coach Frank Leahy's final Notre Dame team began the season ranked first in the country. The Irish defeated four ranked teams in their first five games, and were 8-0 still atop the polls by the time Forest Evashevski brought his 20th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes to Notre Dame Stadium on Nov. 21.

Notre Dame's offense sputtered throughout the first half trailing Iowa 7-0 late in the second quarter. The Irish finally got going, but found themselves on the Hawkeye 12-yard line in the waning seconds of the half without any timeouts remaining.

The Notre Dame players knew exactly how to respond.

Irish left tackle Frank Varrichione let out a blood-curdling scream and collapsed to the turf, seemingly suffering a very sudden and mortal injury. Under existing college football rules, the officials were obligated to stop the clock and allow Varrichione to be helped off the field.

The Irish offense took advantage of the stoppage in play to line up, and on the final play of the half, Ralph Guglielmi threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Dan Shannon, tying the score.

Notre Dame trailed Iowa 14-7 in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter. Again, the Irish were driving towards the Hawkeye end zone. Again Notre Dame was out of timeouts.

According to Leahy's script, this time it was the job of the right tackle to "suffer" an injury. So with six seconds remaining in the game and the ball on Iowa nine, Art Hunter took his turn.

The officials stopped the clock and again, Guglielmi threw to Shannon in the end zone. Don Schaefer's extra point allowed Notre Dame to escape with a 14-14 tie.

 Halftime adjustments are not always been our strength.  Let's hope Seth and company have a good plan
