***OFFICIAL SMU vs. NORTH TEXAS 2020 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD***

Even with the sack, he had 10 seconds! where is the pressure

[outoftown]

That quarter was about as bad as it could have gone. Literally nothing went right. Time to play the second quarter as if it were 0-0. Shprt memoy. Truely hard this time, but gotta do it.

Who was it that got hurt early? On the sideline...a safety I think.

How? Trying a fake punt on your own side of field when you are down by 21 points.

Touché. That was not only a bad call but a lousy design. 

[DeepGreen]

We should immediately withdraw our application to the American Athletic Conference.  And if they insist on accepting us, just say no!

I agree with the lack of talent but how do you grade the coaching when the talent isn’t good? 

There lies the problem. It’s difficult. Seth came here as an offensive guru guy and he has *mostly* lived up to that. Hasn’t done that well finding a “ying” to his “yang” outside of the first year. 
 

but recruitment has really picked up and I do think he has some extremely talent players that need a year or so seasoning.

Bowen is legitimately worse than Reffett. I didn't think it was possible but this a joke

24-0 SMU 14 minutes left in 2nd quarter

No. Just, no.

I kind of think going for it on 4th right there was a pretty big sign of disrespect. I know it's only the 1st but there's no need to run up the score like that. Poor sportsmanship imo. 

Mostly /s

So it’s their fault for trying to score? Or is it our fault for not being able to stop them? It’s on us.

Until he does it without Fine I’m holding judgement that he’s a good offensive coach.

Losing to a team that is significantly better than us while also missing multiple starters is not bad coaching, when our players are worse than theirs it's just difficult to make simple plays just look at how we ran through HBU.  I'll reserve my judgement on our coaching for a game where we are playing a team on our level like Southern Miss 

We aren’t playing Clemson. It’s SMU. 

[CMJ]

Rooting for NT is an act of self flagellation.

The little /s part at the at the end means "sarcasm".

But we were 1-11 the year before he got here.
 

Remember?!

And we’re headed back that way if we are not careful

His body of work throughout his career says he’s a good offensive coach. Just look at his stops and how much the offensive evolved at each place. 
 

I’ll entertain the idea that he’s been average as a head coach but to say he’s not a good OFFENSIVE coach would be ignoring obvious facts and stats.

No sh!t, I’m not excusing him. I’m just saying how do you even grade coaching (much less give it a pass) when the talent isn’t there in the first place   It’s all an indictment on SL. 

Luckily, that's not part of his job. /s

Did you see this game last year?  Their team is mostly the same with aspirations of going undefeated, we got worse and less experienced. 

[Greendylan]

As atrocious as the defense is, what is the most disturbing is how the offense can't score against a below average defense.  It's hard to imagine how this team could beat any even average team.

You think I really give a damn how he did at Indiana?

It was qualified as mostly sarcasm. I was addressing the portion of it that was not.

And you consider our offense tonight improved?
