NT get easy win over Alcorn St.  67-31

Only negative was NT had 30 turnovers, not going to beat any good team with that kind of sloppy play.  

George with 18 pts. and 12 rbs.  McDowell a freshman had 14 pts and 9 rbs.

George is the key piece to this team. Since TB is gone, it's gonna be rough for shooting and ball handling.

Freshmen making freshmen mistakes. Alcorn played a full court press most of the game and turned us over. Sheppard didn't play due to injury and I didn't see Terrell with the team. Also, freshman Thompson picked up an ankle injury during the game. Silver lining is that our freshmen are getting lots of important minutes, but it could be a long, learning curve type of season.

Actually, very encouraged by freshmen's play.  McDowell at only 5'11 appears to be a force in the paint. Boyd, Jackson and Thompson all had good moments.    

George appeared to really benefited from her playing in international competition.

Set a record for fewest points allowed in a game.

very nice recovery from the first game, hopefully they can build off of both games.

Alcorn turned NT over 30 times and scored only 31? Just the number of fast breaks you would assume they would get should give them that number of points one would think.

I’m guessing MACU would beat Alcorn State easily.

      Twice as much is only losing by 4. Seth would have lost this game by 20+. Not a single doubt in my mind.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      The young qb played better than expected for sure but did account for three TOs as well. Probably shouldn’t have been put in the position for the game to completely rely on his performance but that is what Morris did. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      MGN: Post game recap

      Really they didn’t even try. The stats back this up. Our RBs had 12 carries for 53 yards. That’s a respectable 4.4 yards per carry. Not amazing but solid enough to take a little pressure off the passing game. By comparison, TxSt averaged 4.6 but they ended up with over 200 yards because they stuck with the run. The running game didn’t struggle. Morris gave up on it before it could struggle because he doesn’t value the run game. Or he was so intimidated by a SunBelt team that he panicked?

      We picked the wrong quarterback

      The problem wasn’t the QB but rather the game plan. Or more specifically the head coach. I still don’t understand why you build your game plan around a rookie walk-on qb. They barely even tried to run the ball. The stat sheet shows 25 rushing attempts but around 6-7 of those were passing plays when the qb scrambled due to the breakdown of the pass blocking or that abortion of a WR pass with Young. Our RBs had 12 carries. Twelve. Stupid.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Run game definitely struggled. Observation from a lowly fan was the center's snaps were not crisp. There was the bad snap that hit the turf that Mestemaker recovered but there were several others that weren't on target that visibly caused timing to be off. Couple that with the DL regularly being in our backfield right after the snap and it's hard to run. I may be mixing games but I think even remember a TX State player practically meeting our RB at a hand-off. Mestemaker pulled it back and got taken down by a few defenders but there was just no room to get things going on the ground.
