The win in New Mexico was our 3rd non-conference road win this season. Anyone want to guess how many non-conference road wins we had during the 5-year Tony Benford era?

The answer is..

 

 

2. We were 2-15 under Benford in non-conference road games. The amount of improvement we have made just 50 games into the Mccasland era is comical. Fun ride so far.

The NM commentators may want to say it was a tough game by the Lobos instead of a good performance by the Mean Green, but every time the Lobos made a run the Green had an answer. We did not panic and did not allow it to become a free throw contest in the last minute. Let's go 12-1 into conference play!

Every road game we play where we hear the other teams’ broadcast crews, they all seem insistent that they are having an off night. Meanwhile if they’d look at our season stats they’d see it’s what we do.

Which I think leads to an underappreciated fact about this team.  Even though we are one of the smaller teams in the country, we played great defense.

Any time you win it is a good performance, especially on the road. How can anyone denegrate this team?

The fact that just a few years ago our major sports head coaches were Dan McCarney and Tony Benford should tell you all you need to know about how far we've come in a short amount of time.

Dan McCarney won a bowl. Not saying I miss him, but... Still waiting for that to happen again.

Dodge beat out UT for a recruit... still waiting for that to happen again. 

In the end, perhaps the real winners were whoever does billing at Denton Regional Medical Center (if they work on commission) and McNeese State.

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
