At this point Caponi has to go. I know I am a keyboard warrior and the HC should not over react, but this is on him. He has to make the hard decisions and this is one of them. Caponi's defense and his inexperienced staff need to go.

While I agree 100% and also agree this would happen at D1 schools who really care about football, it won't happen at poor UNT. 

I hope we can score 70 against ACU and eeek out 1 win this year.

Same thing last week and people on here talking like Cal are CFB playoff contenders. Caponi has no idea what he is doing. I'm embarrassed for him, but most importantly, embarrassed for UNT. 

I know it. And there was a contingent here telling people to relax. Cal was majorly improved ect.

When you’ve watched this show for 25 years, you can spot the atrocious (Eric’s word) right off the bat. This defense is, in fact, atrocious.

*Cue the “you’ve never played college football” force field/deflection that will inevitably come from someone on here trying to defend this performance*

Bump again.

Can anyone on here explain to me like I’m a 5 year old what I’m supposed to like and be excited about with our 3 man front? 

Well the last two years of Phil Bennett we ran a 3 man front but would always walk up an edge rusher from the backers(devil) last year it was MR the year before one of the twins would come off edge. We also had what was called an Eagle backer which was a hybrid safety/ OLB.. at time it worked other times no..

now we have truly taken the edge rusher out of box and put him in the secondary..and will bring a current LB up to be an edge rusher still leaving the box light..

my opinion is take a DB out and insert another LB or DT. Especially with Navy and the option coming up. 
 

just the thoughts of a little league football coach

I believe we tried that late in the game. Stupid refs wouldn't let us run it.

That because we didn't deploy "The Distractor".  When you see the refs counting players, the distractor is there to yell out random numbers, thus confusing the ref, causing him to start over and then just give up with the ball is snapped.

Next two games are winnable if the Defense shows up to play.

Navy and Temple are not good. So should be at 4 wins going into Tulane Game and Tulane is much weaker than last year.

Will be very disappointed if at minimum team does not split the next 2 games.

Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here, but do you think we will blitz more once we get to conference play? I noticed we haven’t blitzed much these first few games. Maybe Craponi is holding something back as to not show his full deck.

Yeah, let an FCS score 31 points to lure other teams into a false sense of security. They won't know what hit them.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things. Asterisk indicates newcomer: Z - JR Landon Sides RS FR Kyle Koch RS FR Mason Ferguson *FR Tyler Smith Y - SO Miles Coleman X - *SR Cameron Dorner RS FR Baron Tipton H - SO Wyatt Young JR Dalton Carnes LT - *RS SR Jimto Obidegwu RS SO Keon Johnson RS FR Christian Pettway FR Jordan Reasonover LG - SO Braydon Nelson RS FR Paul Gurrola C - RS SR Gabe Blair RS FR Amarion Berry RG - RS JR Johnny Dickson RS SO Julio Madero RS FR Matthew Reed RT - RS SR Larry Moore RS SO Desmond Magiya RS SO Isaac Sohn *FR Roberto Rodriguez TE - SO Brandon Young *SR Tre Williams RS SR Xzavior Kautai *RS SO Connor Vaughn RS FR Victor Aderungboye QB - *SR Reese Poffenbarger RS FR Drew Mestemaker RS FR Cash McCollum *FR Chris Jimerson RB - SR Damashja Harris *JR Jayden Becks RS SO Makenzie McGill SO Kiefer Sibley JR Zach Evans RS FR Ashton Gray *FR Caleb Hawkins Defense DE - SR Breylon Charles *RS SO Demetrie Morgan *RS FR Josh Pierce NT - *JR Quincy Wright SO Jayden Williams SR VJ Bronson DT - *RS SR Richard Outland RS SR Fehi Vailea RS FR Jaedon Langley JACK - *SR Briceon Hayes RS FR Zhaiylen Scott *RS FR Will Smith *FR Brayden Knox SLB - RS JR Ethan Wesloski RS SR Chavez Brown *RS SO S’maje Burrell MLB - *SR Trey Fields RS SO JJ Jean-Louis WLB - SR Shane Whitter SO Kabriel Anderson-Dale FS - *SR DJ Warnell Jr JR BJ Allen RS FR Chris Gant SS - JR Evan Jackson SO Quinton Hammonds RS FR Jaydon Smith RS SR Isheem Young NB - *RS SR Da’Veawn Armstead RS SO Taylor Starling RCB - *RS SR David Fisher RS SO Kollin Lewis RS FR Gabe Stroud LCB - RS SO Brian Nelson JR X’Avion Brice K - RS SO Kali Nguma JR Blake Ford RS FR Miguel Arenas P - SR Sawyer Evans SR Seth Ford

      Chris Jimmerson

      So similar to Jimerson's recruitment in that nobody really wanted to give either a scholarship at QB. Thanks for the insight. Colorado just signed ESPN's #2 overall prospect in Julian Lewis at QB. If Lewis works out, how does it benefit either party for Jimerson to go sit on the bench behind a top QB prospect? They also signed one of Jimerson's teammates so clearly they aren't high on Jimerson as it is.
