He’s had time on some and he’s been dropped immediately on some it’s about 50/50.  Tough when a sophomore realizes he has to try and do something miraculous on every possession before halfway through the 1st quarter.

I read on here incessantly that the reason we lost to FAU by what could’ve been 50+ points last time was because of the coaches’ wives...

Maybe the wives aren’t the only problem here...

FAU will get top 25 votes. You think  the coaches are idiots, too?

Never called anyone an idiot, that is your imagination.

Anyone confident in a NO Bowl win?

Are we playing a team with a great passing game? That will answer the question for me. If yes, then no. If not, then maybe...see the entire 2017 season for cross reference.

SL is going nowhere.  We are being dominated in all 3 phases.  

 

And GH is here as long as we want too.  The real offensive "geniuses" are standing on FAU's sideline.

Not sure of your angle...If anyone critics this staff you tell us we are crazy and that we have no idea what we're talking about. When we're winning you tell us that, "we're winning."

I'll type slowly so you can follow.

SL and this staff are doing great things relative to where we were a very short time ago.  A win is a win is a win...because we would have lost 100% of the close games under McCarney.  The arrow is pointed up. 

With all of that said, NOBODY is going to knock down our doors trying to take a coach who has us pointed in the right direction, but unable to win against equal to better talent.  And NOBODY is going to look at Harrell's vanilla game plan and think "there's the missing ingredient."  

I have said since the beginning that the "we are gonna lose our coach" talk was silly...today.

FAU has a great running game and manageable passing game..

We had it on both ends but S. doesn't get any game time. And when he does he is not allowed to throw the ball....just hand it off. 

That wasn’t a rhythm pass that he needed playing time to pull off.... That was a trick play that they run in practice for just that situation. 

 

Love the kid all you want...He missed it badly.  

No excuses needed on that one  

Not to put too much on the career backup because no one else made much happen but.... Connecting on that easy toss could have halted some momentum.  It was the perfect microseism of the entire day.

Perfect playcall at the perfect time, & like you’re saying it was most-definitely practiced... a lot, and likely executed well.  Silver’s favorite player just missed when it was his time to shine.

Then you missed the fact he had to throw it around/over a man who was coming at him on the pass..

Seth Littrell has done some really fine things here. He’s turned us into a winner in just two years removed from being the worst FBS team in the country.

But many of us recognized that this schedule was the easiest we have played in decades, that 6 wins should have been expected. Those close victories were fun to enjoy and showed us that Fine has the IT factor, but we beat UAB, UTSA, ODU, LT, and Army by the skin of our teeth. We killed FCS Lamar, as well as two teams that were among the absolute worst in FBS in UTEP and Rice. Our best win was beating USM on the road fairly comfortably, but again, they aren’t great this year, either. When we played the two good G5 teams on our schedule, we got simply murdered by SMU and FAU. That alone should tell you that Seth Littrell isn’t getting any calls to be the head coach anywhere above our place on the FBS totem pole anytime soon. He’s gonna have to duplicate this past season a couple of times to really impress the ADs at any decent program in the country. Not saying it won’t happen, but SL benefitted greatly by the schedule we got for 2017. And 2018 looks like it will be very similar in quality of competition.

Crazy, I’ve been saying it for a while now the same thing about just getting by.. let’s just hope this getting by translate into winning by 17+ next year..

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
