Seems like a call back to a Derek Thompson. The two have very similar careers and Derek is a UNT HOF'er. Probably because of the Heart of Dallas Bowl win, although he was top 5 in some of the passing records (not very impressive QB records before Fine).

And for the record I was not a fan of his.

I have been critical of Aune so it’s time to flip the script on this outing - Super overall performance- solid game plan - I’d say 90% on execution.
This was a clutch performance overall - happy for those players who have stayed the course! We are in control of our destiny and that’s all we can ask at this point in the season. 
 

Bennett called a solid D game - yes we got racked on a couple deep balls but WKU has got everyone this season at some point!

He’s 5 TD passes from moving into 4th in school history and is 9 TD passes from setting the school single-season TD pass record. Already passed Thompson who we just inducted two years ago. Also 2nd in school history in 300-yard passing games.

Would be hard to leave out a player that entrenched in the record books at the premier position in the sport.

Unfortunately stats don't mean shit if you lost games because of terrible QB play, no matter the numbers.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you probably wanted Cooper Rush to keep playing after Dak was healthy. 

Nope, Dak can actually run the ball, just like Earle, who had 20 yards on 3 attempts.

He’s 11-10 as a starter. Thompson was 18-19. His record is not bad enough to be precluded from HOF consideration, based on the bar that has been set.

21-29 for 322 yards and 3 TD’s per CBSSports.com. 
 

The only pass that really pissed me off was when he didn’t step into his throw expecting to get hit. That and the miss of Roberts when he was wide open in the end zone. Outside of those two, he played an excellent game. Performances like today should be the rule not the exception.

So......?

We would have beat UTSA if Aune wasn't a pussy and just ran the damn rock a couple of times when he had 15 yards of open field in front of him.

Not saying he should be precluded, just saying that just because his stats for this game and his career stats are good doesn't mean it tells the whole story.

Guess you missed those two passes he threw into the dirt in a row for no reason in the 3rd quarter.

No, but I know that not every pass will be perfect regardless of who is playing.

All y'all have the green glasses on. Aune will lose us this season, mark my words. He has PROVEN he will **** things up. I'd gladly be wrong, but I don't think I will be.

He could have been 29-29 and you would bitch about his lack of rushing yards.

Talking to an orange blood friend. Same issue. Who shows up. Jekyll or Hyde?  

This.  He was very good today, but we never get the same Aune each week.  The inconsistency and lack of mobility are the only things keeping him from the Heisman, lol!   He did manage the game much better today than many of his in the past. 

I was glad to see Seth finally start working another QB into some game action, since Aune will not be back next year.  Stone should have played the entire 4th quarter and saved Aune from injury risk.

Literally impossible. Aune couldn't pitch a perfect game if his life depended on it.

You do realize there is such a thing as a good incompletion.  There was at least once today when he made the good decision to throw it away.  
I know he can be extremely frustrating to watch, but the dude played well today and to say otherwise is absurd.

I agree but whoever selects for the HOF isn’t going to put all these qualifiers on his stats the way fed up fans do. They’re going to be taken at face value. 

After the next 3-5 games he could be anywhere from a lock for the HOF to not great odds at getting in. We’ll see how it shakes out, but this stuff will continue to be an afterthought to the result of these high-stakes games.

I will say this, if he starts the rest of the season and we get into the conference championship game or win a bowl, fine by me if he gets in.

Have I said he didn't play well today? Aside from a few throws, he did. I just don't trust it and I expect he will  be a completely different passer next week. No consistency and a tendency toward bad decision making over his career. Again, would gladly be wrong.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick

      Especially in the age of the portal, it doesn't take long to build a good team. ECU was 2-10 last year and will probably be 8-4 now.

      Littrell’s UNT contract ended Jan. 31, 2024, so UNT shouldn’t have been paying him for quite some time.
