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

[YIPYKIA]

This is a joke. So unprepared!

[Harry]

Another FAU TD 17-0.  14:55 left in 2nd quarter. Looking like another long day so far.  Still lots of time.

[untStein]

I’m glad 500 people are seeing this in person.

They are so on the Lane Train.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. Mojo didn’t work.........yet.

[TreeFiddy]

Man, they just go fast.  Athletes may be a little faster, but the tempo is just a killer, mentally and physically.  Impressive.  I can see why Baylor was able to give the Big12 fits.  Makes the defense look silly.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Can we slow this damn game down on their part. (bad Dad joke)?  Nevermind.

The FAU players act like they all have hot dates waiting and we are slowing them down from getting to them.

This needs to get better.  Maybe NO"s would be the best bowl.  I don't see how Troy could be this damn fast.  

This what's happening today was the fear of many of us me'thinks.   Shouldn't Briles be in jail  with his old man? We are making a coaching genious out of that backslid Baylor'ite.

So umm about all those people demanding and entitled that NT should play a bowl game against a better opponent or a P5 program.....

FAU legitimately looks like a P5 or a far far superior team than us right now...you can't even call this a fluke since this is the 2nd time they're playing.  

The P5 we would be going against do not have this speed.. Also, funny Troy runs the spread so then  why would we want to lose to a lower opponent

Ok that failed, but it was worth a try. Would have brought massive momentum.

This is what happens when your backup doesn't get playing time in blow out games...and is limited to handing off only when he does get time.

[TreeFiddy]

The only answer is that the offense has to score to try to stay within reach, but so far not so much.

[meangreenlax]

Honestly a shame for the 600 FAU fans in the stands. Very good team

[Boca_Nasty_96]

I feel like I’m watching the Cowboys very predictable play calling it’s unbelievable

Cool that you have already chalked it up as a loss.

Completely agree with that.

[NTAlum97]

Is depth our issue? Why are we playing the same scheme, with the same players and getting the same piss poor results?! That’s on Reff! We have seen NO adjustments the entire season.  Our defense is horrendous and yet, we just keep rolling with the same roster. It’s not like they will all of a sudden “hit their gaps” or “have their eyes in the right spots.” Try anything new.  Anything!

[Harry]

Smith playing like a freshman today.

[TheColonyEagle]

Man. We have NOTHING down field

Our receivers are just getting KILLED

Probably why FAU would not want to take an Indy invite.  They would not sell 1,000 tickets and would be a huge money loser for them.

[Rudy]

I really had no desire to watch the FAU broadcast today.  What channel is the national broadcast?

[meangreenacct]

What has Graham Harrell been doing the last week???? This is disgraceful. 

[Got5onIt]

Their OL & DL are destroying the LoS. Need something to swing the momentum....

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Don't think this has anything to do with coaching or lack of trying. FAU is just a lot better than us. You don't strategize getting plowed by a much bigger o-line and gashed for 30-40 yard runs by a future NFL running back.

How much playing time does a d1 QB need to be able to hit a guy that wide open?  I get it you love the kid but that’s a stretch. 

[keith]

Nothing open down field and poor pass blocking seems like a bad combination for us :-(

We had a chance there and blew it. Players are already playing like the game is over. Going to be a really long day.
