Could be worrisome Preston working at RG, and Mayfield does not get his extra year. Would think/hope Preston gets some time at RT just in case

Doesn't worry me a ton, I'd be good with Murray, Mose, Mose/Barr, Preston, Parish/Anthony.  If they think moving Preston inside helps with run game I'm down to let a young guy go at RT.  If we're running the ball well, then OL pass sets aren't as big of an issue as if we aren't running ball well and all we can do is pass.

I feel like Moses could step in at RG quicker than one of the young OTs playing RT..

You left out our best lineman!

I think I would rather see Murray, Woodworth, Mose, Mose, Preston.  What leads you to believe Parish/Anthony are ready?

You have to hope that Anthony is ready and can be that 3rd tackle is Mayfield is back.. this is going to be year 3 for him.

I understand that, but if Mayfield doesn't get his extra year, then I would rather shift Preston to his spot and plug in Barr.

This does not look like it's going to happen.   I don't know if he's just in Langston's/Littrell's doghouse or something, but he's not playing much.

Coach made it sound like he wants Preston at G to take over for Henson.  I assume if that doesn't work, it's Manase Mose's job to lose.   If Mayfield doesn't get his extra year, look for Woodworth to move over to RT... then the battle is for LG.

Either way, I want to see the best 5 on that line.  Anthony has been reported to have potential and Parish has "the build" but is still very light.

I liked Anthony out of HS and he was hurt his first year so he had limited time this time last year. By  I feel like he may have been viewed as a boom or bust guy, with the potential hope his younger brother would sign with UNT( his brother signed with OSU in February).

Parish needed and needs to put on weight, and vastly improve his technique. He had good foot movement but the kid was and is still likely growing into his body. The last time I saw him, he could still put on a solid amount of weight and be fine.

Its time for Chandler to hopefully step up and I’ll give last years class of OL another year, but they need to be pushing and playing this time next spring

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
