***OFFICIAL UNT VS. FAU C-USA CONF CHAMP GAME THREAD***

[Wag Tag]

So much for respectable!

[RBTX]

What is our D doing?

[Side Show Joe]

That score was completely unnecessary. Classless. Hope he dropped it before he crossed.

[akriesman]

Pathetic way to end that game.

[RiseUNT]

Should have been victory formation

Not classless at all.. the defense did not even touch the guy.. FAU is still playing it easy on us.. 

[JesseMartin]

Dude these announcers are cracking me up trying to subtly troll Kiffen.

[TreeFiddy]

Nice stop D?

Not only did we get destroyed today, this stupid classless act will be viewed nationally by making fun of FAU’s Leon Lett moment.  It comes at our expense for all to see.

It wasn’t some sort of trickery. A simple run that our defense didn’t stop. Hopefully Seth and the staff take note and get more aggressive. We would have just taken a knee. I have no problem with teams playing to score. 

[GrandGreen]

What classless about running the ball?

I agree, the defense didn't even lay a glove on him, and it is their fault. But with a 1:34 in the 4th, and up 24 points, all FAU had to do was hand the ball off up the middle and run out the clock.

[Cerebus]

Appropriate way to end the game.  

4 man rush, all of them hit fine.  

[jacksondf]

9 sacks.  Enough said

[GrandGreen]

Can 150 people rush the field?

This is not all on the OL. Sure Sue you understand this. 

It's first on the defense for keeping the offense into a hole. 

Secondly on the offense game plan for sucking something fierce...Coaching staff...

Thirdly, on Mason Fine for treating his valuable time in the pocket like a Spa Day...

Lastly, on the OL.

They snapped the ball directly to him and he ran pretty much straight ahead with it. Not sure what else he could've done short of fall down. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

Awful effort from Ejiya to stop the dude in the first place.

[BTG_Fan1]

So hopefully that DC replacement can be called and in town tomorrow with the bowl game in 2 weeks

Not sure what you're arguing about here honestly. I never said they aren't more athletic but they are in no way leaps and bounds more athletic. Inspiration and passion deals with a lot of factors in a game and now late in the game their intensity has made them play better which is proof that it is not just FAU being so much more athletic than us to merit an embarrassing blowout twide in a season. But yeah man, lets just say FAU deserves to be mentioned as a playoff contender since they're so darn athetlic.

How about if we agree to disagree?  We're on the same side after all.  

To provide an answer, however, I think the basic argument is that when two teams with comparable football skills play a game, the one with superior athletes will generally show up on the scoreboard.  In the case of these two teams, one team showed themselves to be significantly superior not once, but twice.  That usually means neither result was a fluke.   Obviously a lot of things go into athletic competition: bounces of the ball, luck, penalties, injuries, heart and soul, coaching decisions, the weather, etc., but holding everything else constant, the team with the better athletes usually wins.  When the wins are so lopsided, that signals a significant gap in athletic ability (speed, strength, size, mobility, vision) -- in my opinion.  I think we just disagree on how wide that gap is, that's all.

I knew all the talk about the NOLA bowl was going to cause this.  Bad omen.  Players were probably up late reading the board.  Could tell they were tired by the way they slept walked through the first half. Thanks guys.

I wish. Whatever defense a new coach could scrape together in 2 weeks, couldn't be worse then what we have watched for most of the season.

The good thing is if they did do it now.. you get 2 weeks with the players before spring ball and a chance to still hit recruits early as well..

Ha! The talk started days ago. Way to try and lay the blame on a segment of our fan base. I guess that why we lost to FAU during the regular season too.
