I think some of y'all are a little too down on the Mean Green. FIU squeeked past Maine 14-12 last weekend. For context, Maine went 2-9 last year in the CAA (FCS) which is not like facing an FBS program that may turn things around greatly with an influx of transfers.

We had better win this game, because FIU is bottom 10 material for sure.  They played La Tech close, but were actually dominated statistically in week 1.

The talent level disparity won't be an issue this week against FIU. I think that will allow the defense to settle in and play better. I expect the running game to pick it up, which will allow the passing game to open up late.   With 50 transfers, Cal may be better than expected this year (possible lower bowl team).

I actually expected a loss last week, but certainly did not expect that horrible performance.  I think our guys are pissed and bounce back this week.

34-20 NT

FIU is no P5-level team, or even a mediocre P5 team such as Cal.  Scheduling Cal as the opening game was a bad mistake. It was close to one of those mismatched 'body bag' games that used to be UNT's annual, fund-raising' practice. That game was even a bigger mismatch given that UNT is in a major rebuilding phase, both team and coaching staff.

UNT's 4 Horsemen of the Green Apocalypse (Ragsdale, Johnson, Adeyi and Adaway) should have a good night and run roughshod over a weak FIU D-line.   38-24 UNT.

I bet the Wyoming and TXSt fans are saying the same things after they played similar teams.  🙄

The idea that having Cal at home would be anything remotely similar to playing a National Title contender on the road is completely laughable.    Cal is not that kind of team. 

And no, we're not in a "major rebuilding phase".   We return a majority of starters from last year.

UNT - 37

FIU - 31

 

I expect to see us move the ball more consistently 1st and 2nd half.

I really don't think we can hold FIU's running game in check - hope I'm wrong, but I fear another big day for our opponent's running 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?
