Just one question Mean Green Faithful, why? Why even give him a shot if there weren't doubts? Especially early on before we knew we had the game in hand?

Discuss this event freely here. Personally? I think SL is trying to find a way to see what he's got that could maybe complete more than 50% of his passes.

It was great seeing him!  It made even more sense when he ran the ball. I think he’s out for the year, though.  SL said as much in the post game.

The radio crew has reported that he was receiving medical attention. Of course the same crew missed everything except the last play he was in and thought that was the only play he played

Hat tip to SL for finding an excuse to put someone not named Aune in at QB.

Not the circumstance that I hope for, but I can acknowledge this as a willingness to bend.

The first step is of then the hardest

I think he got hurt in the game??????

Was it during one of his QB keeper plays?  None of the plays looked like they had damaging hits.  Might just be another famous UNT S&C fail.

We’re the only school whose S&C program allows its football players to get injured playing football

Not sure which play, but if I had to guess it was the almost TD (that I still think was a TD). Got slammed pretty hard.

It was the play at the goal line when he tried to cross and met a guy head on and he lowered his shoulder. He showed some moxy and ability to work the red zone where we have struggled. At least we used a different look.

Was excited to see him in there.  Whether it was a red zone package only, or Seth was trying to look for something more, I’m still glad they got him on the field.  Would be a bummer if he’s out for the year.  I know we’ll never get any reports but hopefully he’ll be back this year and they’ll keep putting him in.

Hit looked really bad I am sad to say.  My guess is it will be awhile.  Next man up.

I wonder if Ruder is quick enough to be the redzone/goalline qb. Isn’t he faster than Aune?

It looked like Ruder was warming up several times when we were moving the ball in the 2nd half. Maybe it was his turn at Red Zone QB. However the scenario didn't happen. 

I’d like to see that. Maybe against LaTech it’ll happen.

Ruder would throw it to the other team and get an endzone pick 6 in that situation based on last year's performance.

Would be glad to be proven wrong. SL said that Ruder got the nod to start last year because of his QB smarts. Would be nice to have a guy like that on the field as long as he can handle the pressure, which is the biggest question in my mind with Ruder.

He is supposed to be, but even Aune last year was effective running the ball when he had to in order to solidify his starting job. Aune ran for 50+ yards four times in a five game stretch when he first took over. Now we don’t seem to run him as much, and are treating him like a traditional QB (almost no designed runs and slide after you get the 1st on scrambles).

My point is, if these guys have to run to carve out a role, they run much differently than when they’re the established starting QB. Even Stone Earle only had a career high of 49 rushing yards at ACU, but when that’s what role they asked him to fill, he ran with some juice (maybe a little too much).

So if we give Ruder a shot as a zone-read package QB, I bet we see him run with much more authority than we saw from him last year as the starting QB.

      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?
