FAU

[southsideguy]

We have been victim to the qb run play many times this year.  I think we had UTSA 3rd and 15 and we let the qb get a first down and the qb had TD run also.  The FAU qb had 4 rushing TD last game.  We seem to have a lot of trouble with that play and it looks like a play by design not just a qb scrambling. When the qb hits the line of scrimmage it looks like no one is even close to him.  I know we will see this play a lot in the rest of the games.  We need to find a way to stop that play.

English will shut all that down once back in the lineup.

GMG!

Nope.  He got his bell rung, fumbled the ball, and one of his OL picked up a subsequent UNT fumble in the end zone.

i think the call was he broke the plain of the goal line and there was not good video to over rule it.  Whatever it got them six points.

Hard to tell if the FAU run D is good.  They have played Navy and Wisconsinin, both good/great running teams, so not sure.  Hoping to see a return of the Power-Raid this weekend, especially with rain in the forecast.

Also, that FAU QB's stats from last week appear to be an anomaly when looking at other games this year. He may be coming into his own as a runner or ODU's defense was just terrible. Hard to tell.

The ruling on the field was, “the fumble was recovered by the offense in the end zone for a touchdown.” The ruling on the field was confirmed after review.

If our defensive player would have fallen on the ball instead of standing up and trying to pick the ball up it would have been North Texas ball and no touchdown.

Instead a UTSA player came out of the pile in the end zone with the ball.

I thought the ref on the field said the call "stands".

Guess i missed that part but I am still concerned with the qb run play, I think UTSA saw on the game of us playing SOMETH and ran the exact play.  I just think we will see more in the future.
