What were you saying about giving up deep balls?

 

Please don’t say that anymore 😂😂

The 50 was good against the option 40 years ago. But, offenses are much faster and multiple now. The 50 just can't hold up when offenses (even Navy) stretch the field. I can almost guarantee you than UNT will not feature it beyond this game. If Navy starts running play actions against this 50, we will get into trouble.

I think he got surprised that nobody touched him and had too much momentum.

That would actually be a clean blitz 

[untbowler]

WTF!!! We need 20 yds for FG range, and we throw a screen for 2 yds. What a freaking waste!!!

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I dont want to armchair too much, but our D&D playcalling sucks. 

[Salsa_Verde]

Sigh 

[untbowler]

surely the defense can stop them with 2 seconds and 95 yds..... right????

[Green Lantern]

Horrible end to the half. 
 

Left way too much out there. Should be up 21-10.

And b4 that tried to get cute and run undeaneath the blitz and got our RB smoked. 

All things considered, if we can hold Navy to only another 13 in the 2nd half, I like our chances. 

[emmitt01]

Navy is doing this incredible thing when they get to the ball carrier…something I haven’t seen at DATCU in a long time.

 

They’re wrapping up and knocking the offensive player down.

Quite literally.  I just had my 40th HS reunion last weekend and that's what we had been running since Jr High.

I was a nose guard in a 50 defense back in school. I know it well. While better than a 3-3-5, it isn't ideal for us.

[untbowler]

1st half was bunch of wasted opportunities, yardage looks nice but few pts except for the one big play

[97and03]

Well that was horrible 

[3_n_out]

Well, we’re in this. That’s all you can ask for. I’ll take this defensive performance. The offense needs to get better. How about some play action in the second half. 

[untbowler]

After 1 half the Offense is doing worse than expected

Defense is doing better, but how focus can they remain in the 2nd half, they faltered in 2nd half in every game this season. If want to win they will have to stay strong.

Who the F was that blitzer who whiffed on the qb? Never even broke down but just passed him? Ridiculous

Wes is going to be a great LB for us for years to come. But he definitely missed that sack.

[greenminer]

Don't look now but Rice is hanging with UCONN, 0-0.

3,594 seconds remaining in this slugfest.

Our defensive coach was an old Marine that was built like a fire hydrant.  He's one of those guys that played in the 40s in a leather helmet.  Numerous times, when he got mad in practice, he jumped into line drills and went up against guys in pads...and whooped 'em.  Definitely not something to run in modern times.

[NT91]

Two bad teams.

We really need a stop on this first series of the half.  Likely need a turnover at some point too.

Sadly, I can find now flaw in this logic.

Offense shooting themselves in the foot. Defense is exactly what we expected. 

[meangreenbob]

Halftime. Where we get out coached. 

[untbowler]

need a big stop here on 3rd and 2, will set the tone for 2nd half

[rcade]

This is my least favorite UNT helmet. There's so little contrast between the dark green Texas and black eagle that if a person in that helmet committed a crime, no witness would know what school they were from.

[untbowler]

and the defense gives up the 4th and short ... sigh.....

[3_n_out]

The angles taken by our DBs scare me. They keep going into the block instead of around or over. Recipe for a giant run given up
