Know nobody wants to hear this by this is a good game for a young team that must’ve came in thinking themselves world beaters.

Very true. This is the kind of game that makes us better next year. We are still rebuilding with sparks of brilliance. But still moving upward.

I’m not happy about the loss, but I do think it makes us a better team.

At this point all I want is us to come out and be competitive in the second half.

Let remember, they can only beat us once today. Even if USM and UAB win today we will still be #1 in the west due to our head to head records.

If this team comes out and competes hard and wins the second half, then we are a team who could win the west. If we roll up the tents, then don't expect that.

Our defense is not aggressive and has played on its heals all game. The offense looks out of sync and lethargic. Big, big letdown after last week. This team will have to learn how to handle success. How they reapond in the second half will say a lot about this team.

so at 3-1 how do we stand in conference? serious question.. we're tied with UAB and So Miss

For the person that doesn’t like the idea of the backup quarterbacks getting some time in a game that is out of reach, I would like to know why? Having Fine or Shanbor getting beat up in the second half serves no purpose. We have the rest of the season for Fine to get better.

You can call a time out for the defense!! Good news we saved all 3 of our timeouts! Terrible coaching!

Yuuuuuuuup. We should've saw SL burn one on the first drive and see some Kirby Smart emotion out of Littrell. Buuuuut....nope. horrible, horrible, horrible coaching. An extension of the HC on the field in this 1st half. 0 outward passion.

This is EXACTLY the UTEP2016 fiasco. It's pitiful. Embarrsing. And to be frank, with this game and others, SL needs to be finding a passionate, hate-filled DC after the season.

Also, tee it a bit higher Littrell.

I’m not even mad I was expecting this. What I do see is us winning the rest of our games going to the cusa championship to play these guys again. The football Gods will be on our side and the Mean Green will have it’s first Cusa championship in school history. Nobody give up on this team just yet!

That is the worth first half I have ever seen ! Not one stop! On the continueason play with the arm down take a timeout!!!! On the 4th and 1 at the goal take a timeout! Seth is really getting out coached in front of 4,000??? Fans!

BTG_Fan1 · October 21, 2017

this didn’t age well...

UNTGuy5 · October 21, 2017

Wow. This team is garbage. My fault for thinking they may be worth a crap. Same old UNT.

This is why it's so easy to give up as a fan.

We'll still be first because of the head to head records. LaTech is 1-1, so even if they beat USM we'll have a half game lead over them.

FAU is legit. If you thought otherwise, you weren’t paying attention. We’ve been terrible. Everything that could go wrong has. Coming off an emotional miracle win against a talented team coming off a bye across the country. It’s a garbage half of football in an otherwise great season. Relax. We’re okay. The future is bright as hell.

Easily the worst half of "football" UNT has done this season.

The O-line give Fine no time, and he doesn't have the magic touch today. The WR don't help out, the coaches made questionable decisions, as did the refs.

The d-line is now too thin for this physical type of game, it would have needed some breaks early, and just couldn't catch nor force any. This may also be Reffets worst game planning of the season on top of being out-physicalled

I do wonder whether this is the time you give Shanbour some reps not because I believe Fine is not a good QB but, a) to give the team maybe a mental jolt and sign you are still trrying new things to correct this, and b) because losing Fine to injury in this game would be just the icing on the frustration cake

Best post in the thread.

Awesome job by Garner on that completion to the TE.. literally could have picked it off

Nice kid, but he has not played well this year. This is a tough game to point this out, because nobody is playing well, but this is pretty typical of him. I want someone in the middle that is violent. He isn't.

Wag Tag · October 21, 2017

Should we put in Quin?

Always nice to have your voice of reason on here.

I agree with this.

I think Fine is more dinged up that we have been led to believe. Near the end of the half FAU drops everyone back except 4, our five block their 4 believe it or not, and we fine has all the time in the world to see smiley running a short slant all by himself.

He almost missed him.

Something has to be wrong. If it is physical, rest him and give Shanbour some snaps.
