If you are feeling optimistic after tonight's performance, please explain what you are seeing that makes you believe progress was made during the off-week.

I see they have been rotating OL. Some guys who haven’t played are plying now. Why? This is not a time to screw around. That’s why our offense has sputtered the last few series. They HAVE to be smarter than this. We’re not good enough to take anything for granted

I don't know that there is a single person on this board that disagrees. Or is willing to admit it.

The challenge will be to see if Morris is the leader that we need him to be and is willing to live up to his mistakes. Everyone can be forgiven for making a mistake, but it's hard to forgive someone if they can't admit their mistake.

Honestly, it was a very disappointing first half. We are much better, at least athlete-wise than ACU. We played well enough to be ahead of a bad team but still nowhere near as well as we should have, I guess, this level of competition. The radio guys commented that we were mixing in backups on defense already. Sorry, but we're not good enough to where our starters do not need as much time as they can get.

Craponi will be the downfall of Morris if he doesn’t get this defense to improve. It’s sad when all of us are holding our breath  even against an FCS team. I really need to see adjustments in the second half. 
Morris needs to put that starting line back in and keep them until near the end of the game.

Caponi's defense is still trash. Allowing an FCS team to score 10 straight points to close out the Half in our home is unacceptable. More should have been done in the off week. Navy is going to shred this Caponi defense next Saturday. We need a better scheme.

I would say he did that with his QB.

I agree it's very concerning that after an off week, our defense still looks like it does tonight.

I will give him credit for that, but I expect him to make good offensive moves. What I am very concerned about is his ability to make the right moves when it comes to defense. It's not exactly a specialty in the Leach tree of coaching. Another great example was the end of the USC and Colorado game today.

Nothing will change unless the guy running the D changes. I don’t think his philosophy is changing anytime soon.

Yeah, I refuse to believe that our defensive talent is this bad. So it has to be the coaching and scheme.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
