If Griggs can't fix his accuracy issues, they're gonna have a hard time winning against the better teams this season

Griggs has had a fantastic season so far.   Not as good as Fine, but better than Sturm... VS virtually the same competition (Kentucky = Baylor, both played Southern, ULMo = TXSt.).   
I think we can all agree USM's run game is much more dangerous than UTSA's.   

I'm just not all that impressed with UTSA at the moment.  3-0 with a win over Big12 Baylor is certainly something to feel good about, but digging into it, if I'm coach Hopson & USM, I feel pretty good going in there looking for the upset.

You guys seem to really know nothing about UTSA at all, but hope all this nonsense makes you feel better for the next two weeks till game time.

True. I think the big difference is the O/D-line of UTSA is pretty much better across the board.

I think it’ll be a close game but UTSA’s experience/depth on the lines will carry them

I know it might be wishful thinking, but the attendance and energy at this game needs to rival that of the Rice 2013 game or the Apogee Opener against Houston.   The crowd played such a part in that game, that Case Keenum/Houston kept having false starts because of the crowd noise.

I am much more concerned about UTSA than I was about Southern Miss.

Their program is hungry.  Every week they feel they have to prove themselves.  Reminds me of when WKU first started up and came stomping around on Fouts Field.

yeah the only better possible lead up to this game would have been if we had beaten Iowa. But we are riding a 2-game streak, and play a Texas opponent. I hate that it is on Texas-OU weekend. Thems the breaks tho.

The 2013 season showed that when NT starts winning games the stadium gets a little more full every week. The UTSA game in 2013 would have been packed if it were not for the freeze. The previous weekend was the best attended game of the season that wasn't in the Cotton Bowl.

That said, we have to remember that no one -- not even UTSA -- is getting the kind of crowd they want. Here is the local news guy (and NT alumnus) out here begging for fans to show up.

I loved what Don Harris said.  Theres been little to no love from the media locally, they are always fixated on the Longhorns and Aggies.  This year we have started to see some change in that.

That's good for you guys!    We're always stuck behind those two teams as well, but also have to deal with TCU & SMU.   

Sucks when you're down, but it's nice when you're winning and can get some air time with those guys!

Agreed, and those guys will get their air time if they win or lose.  

 

Also, there is absolutely nothing that could get me to like a place with a fan base like smu.

Did they just get off their expensive boats and come straight to the game?

I've looked through the pages and you haven't said how people on here know nothing about UTSA?
 

Also, the article you posted about getting fans to the game.. Has Wilson coached in a spread offense? I'm just asking because if he did go to Ole Miss or Auburn he would be completely redoing the entire offensive scheme.

Not a lot of spread being run here, but what article are you referring to?

I can go to a truck stop anywhere in DFW and get OU memorabilia a lot easier than to find UNT gear other than Walmart and Academy in Denton.

My  bad, it was posted by someone else but this article is what I was referring too.

It talks about FW possibly going and coaching at a place like Auburn or Ole Miss in the near future, and I had no idea if he been in a spread offense before (don't recall any at LSU).. Because Auburn/Ole Miss both run the spread and it would be a challenging 1 or 2 years going from a spread to I-Formation team like FW experience has been.

 If you can build an offense around a guy who throws like Edward Scissorhands, we're gonna be playing a hell of a lot of defense.

Good call.   Although, I would guess San Antonio is pretty flooded with Tech fans/gear too?  But yeah, probably not as much OU as we see up here in the Metroplex.

oh ok I see, yeah it would end up being a process for him.  With that said, I hope we have a couple of years before we worry about that.

Although I live closer to Austin on I-35 than SA, there is also a lot of Tech stuff.  Don't really see any OU stuff though.

UTSA Is a glorified community college. It was birthed as an overflow for UT (CAP program).

These are facts.

San Antonio is half Texas, half Aggie. Then a good portion of UTSA stuff in a little corner. Considering the circumstances, the local businesses do a decent job of having their stuff out.

 

I will say that although there is zero MG stuff for sale around here, when I walk around with my NT gear I get at least one or two "go mean greens" from the distance.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      Not trying to sound like too much of an ass but I'm starting not to care how it impacts high school kids. Many of these are the same kids that you will give a chance to and then they have a good season after one or two years and leave. So if rightly so they are looking after what is best for them universities should be looking out what's best for them and recruit players who are most ready to step on the field and help them play. PS also have an issue with some of these high school coaches who complain that colleges are not recruiting their kids as much but don't seem to want to bring up the fact that those same kids if they're giving the opportunity will leave a smaller school without hesitation if something better comes along for them.

      I had heard one opinion that players is eligibility ran out and are no longer in schools could have a recourse to try to regain some eligibility. This is freaking ridiculous.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --
