* No one should be surprised that Seth runs the ball.  That's always been a big part of his offenses.  At North Carolina they ran the ball a ton.

* I don't think we're deep at running back.  I think we have a lot of guys but only Easly has shown any kind of sustained success but I don't see him having a high ceiling.  As he gets more playing time this season he may turn it on and prove to be a lead back.  His lack of top may be the biggest thing limiting him.  We have two running back recruits coming in and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them get lots of playing time next season.

* I think a huge key for the La Tech game is outside with the receivers for each team.  La Tech has those big guys who can post up and battle for the ball.  We've got speed and quickness.  Both defenses like to challenge throws.  It'll be a good battle outside.

I think we are deep at RB but we might not have a workhorse back as we often had in the past. I think each have their places in this offense. I think Torrey has the highest every down potential but Easly knows the system and blocking better at this point with over a year in the system. Easly racked up a ton of yards at SFA so he could carry the ball a lot if needed.

Nic Smith showed the ability to perform last year, so I am curious as to what has happened since then.  I really don't care who starts as long as they perform.

Nic looked good when he filled in for Wilson during games.  He did not look great when he had to start after Wilson got injured.

Correct.  He looked good against Rice (178 yards), but that was Rice.   He then ran for 50 yards against FAU and 19 yards against Troy.

So against two teams who received top 25 votes? Got it. Nic Smith can play, I think he’s better off being a change of pace back than everydown.  I thought he’d have no problem as he’s broken almost every Martin rushing record.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      3,715 and what, maybe 200 students (not counting cheer, dance and pep band members), showed up and witnessed a clinical take down of our recent nemesis in the second half as the Mean Green pulled away for a 77-64 victory over FAU. Oops, two years removed from a final four appearance FAU (time flies). In contrast, we had 4,551 show up to see us play FAU last year. We are starting to run out of them (or are we?), but I supposed this week's excuse is the NFL playoffs. We are down 733 or 19.09% compared to the first 11 home games last year and down 1,024 or 24.8% compared to last year's full year average. We have 5 home games left this season. In the final 5-game stretch last year we averaged 4,809 (4,316, 5,689, 5,247, 4,241 and 4,551). In comparison, our highest attended game so far this year is 4,029 (780 less) for Temple. Next home game is UTSA on 2/1/2025. Last year we had 5,247 attend the UTSA game. Can we get that this year? This team deserves better.

      Florida Atlantic (1/26/25)

      I think UNT Doge needs to look at those funding trails. I’m all about creating more experience environment for our fans. For adult ideas check out the concourse activity in the Thomas and Mack for UNLV games and for the kiddos check out a Texas Legends game in Frisco. It’s nonstop entertainment. Also, how about a supporters group like the Dallas Beer Guardians in Frisco before FCD games. They have an elected Board. They have a membership level as low as $10 for the season. But this group meets religiously before every game and puts on away match watching parties in Dallas and Frisco. The after party at Miss Angeline’s was fun and connecting. Organize this on the front end before the game. Jared would be well served to hire an experience engineering team that scopes successes and simply focuses on engagement initiatives. This is not his forte - he needs a team with some influencers sprinkled in. To heck with those who don’t want to come for whatever reason (some students dormant alumni). Go get the peeps who want to be entertained at the family group and individual level. GMG
