We need to give Aune a shot to see if he can move this offense against FBS level competition.

So bummed Ruder didn't tackle the guy who ran untouched for 80 yards. What a shame. 

So what do you think happens when the defense makes stop after stop only to see McNulty and Greer shit the bed on offense?  Cause it's the same thing here. Our D is massively improved but our O is ridiculously shitty and the Defense will only be able to hang for so long before they give up trying.

So is Ruder 2 TDs and 4 INTs now?

We do not have D-1 players. What is it we are always walking wounded after an SMU game. Called the stupid pick and it happened. 

I stand by this statement. Our players are undersized and get hurt against higher level competition. Freak injuries happen, that is part of the game but c’mon people, North Texas has had a lot of injuries in the SL tenure!

Glad my daughter had a softball tournament this weekend. So I completely missed the annual kick to the nuts.  Is this Spanky’s final year at HC? How do you NOT have a QB ready to step in after Fine graduated? I mean, you had 4 years.

What we don’t have are players that can physically match up with AAC competition. When we have played SMU or UH, they have much more size and talent than we ever have and we usually get dominated at the LOS.

He was too busy flirting with Kansas St.

Lotsa truth to that, imo. The program fell flat after that and never truly recovered.

Mason covered up a lot of Seth's problems.  Mason used to check a ton.

Just wondering when Mason put up giant numbers and lost everyone still called him a hero. Not saying we're not in trouble but everyone seemed to have forgotten that Mason put up a lot of numbers when we were very very far behind

If I had to highlight two of the biggest things about SL that hold this program back, it would be 1) his roster management, and 2) his red zone offense.

IIRC, these have been big issues since Day 1.  Wild to me that we can move the ball up and the field like we do, and not follow through to get the 6 points.

Don’t agree with your number 1 but you’re number 2 is spot on.

I see this a lot.   NT maybe under talented against good teams, but they are not undersized.

Any team can recruit massive players, but that does not mean they can play.
