So the private school kid who couldn’t sniff the field at Memphis ain’t the savior. The four star kid from Kansas who had to bail from Carolina couldn’t hit the side of a barn last year. We talk about

Aune's not the reason this game is a cakewalk. The defense is. Maybe I'm biased because he started at UNT with me in 1987.

Ruder had his chance to start. Gunnell deserves a full game before we pass judgement.

That full game shouldn’t be against FCS then. Aune makes bad throws sometimes for sure but some of Gunnell’s throws looked like he was out there as a gag. Like he missed 10 yard passes by car lengths, it was very, very odd.

When your LBs are faster than your DBs you have a problem.  Or so it would seem.  Our offense should be able to win 4 games this year, but I'm not sure the defense can win another two.  QB room should be interesting this week.

So I guess we have an idea why Gunnell didn’t start.

You really expected him to come in and be great in his first game in years?

Not to mention with wrs that were generally covered and an offensive line that was going through the motions.

It shouldn't but it's the perfect chance to get him acclimated with actual gametime and to gain confidence leading into game 4 of the season. 

And I'm sorry but he missed 1 bad throw in the end zone. His first throw went at the feet but it was the first throw. Aune does the same after 3 years. Second throw, our receiver got tackled before the ball got there. Hit a guy for 33 yards, then the other was a screen. Hard to make an assessment with that. Ruder got 2 games and the start of a third. Gunnell should get at least the same.

I would’ve expected his throws to be in the ballpark at least. They were so bad they make Aune’s bad throws look less bad. Also, does Aune get the same pass for covered receivers or is that just reserved for backup quarterbacks under the age of 25?

Hell no, I’d start Ruder over Gunnell after what I saw tonight.

Earle was supposedly running behind Aune until Gunnell jumped him in reps at the first scrimmage according to the 247 guy in a podcast with Brune.   Earle had a much higher completion percentage against SMU last year with an awful O-line and D2 receivers.  I’d love to see him get some time.

This.

Dude looks like he’s playing at the wrong level.

I’d prefer this to Gunnell, I truly would.

I'd be ok with this. It just needs to be somebody else. We've seen Aune. I'd rather have a losing season trying different guys out than trotting out the same guy.

For perspective UTEP played OU closer than we played SMUg

I told my wife when it was 38-10, “I hope SMU is really good.”  Maybe they are.

While it was ugly, we had our chances to keep it close.  Inside the 5 twice and get points, plus a blocked field goal.  
 

After Gunnell’s first pass, my comment was, “I see why Aune is starting.”

Adaway is very good.

Dear God y'all haven't seen any of Gunnell's Arizona play. It's his first game in over a year. 15 TDs to 3 Interceptions in the Pac 12 on 66% completion percentage says he's not at the wrong level but OK. And remember he was a true freshman and a true sophomore during a covid shortened season. He lacks experience but he has the talent to play at this level.

I didn't get to pay attention to the first half since I hurt my hand during tailgate. Thank God for the little miracles. 

 

The second half I just tuned out. 

Pregame fight?

Can’t wait to see y’all blame Aune for that “pick” that Roberts vomited away

It's a playcall that says "we don't trust our QB when it counts except what amounts to a long handoff"  no the INT isn't on Aune.  But they weren't going to score if it was completed anyway.  And on 3rd down down by 3 TD's I don't like the playcall.

Maybe so, I will admit this was my first time seeing him. He didn’t make a good first impression. 
 

But maybe next week against Texas Southern will show something different?

Random Mean Green person stops me mid aisle at Buccee's Denton looking mad as hell and tells me his son is a player and expresses his disappoinment.  He then tells me that according to his son, all the players dislike the coaching staff and say they have no energy. 

No idea who this guy's son is, but I believe every word he said.

At least the Lovelace Family likes Littrell!

I didn't say a thing about Aune in this game.  

I was just responded to your criticism of a QB who has not thrown in a game in years. 

The QB play for NT was bad, but so was everything else with a few exceptions.  I did think the rbs ran hard and Addaway actually had a good game.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
