It's looking like we hired more of a salesman than a FBS coach

What exactly was he "selling"?  I was never sold on him as the answer.  Nothing unique about him as an Air Raid OC.  He might be able to turn this around but he isn't radical quick positive change type head coach and his resume confirmed that at the time he was hired in my opinion of it.

I didn't like that 4th down call but I'm OK with the results

[rcade]

Nice catch! Held on knowing the Mack truck was coming right at him.

[rcade]

It's helmet to helmet, announcers. That's a penalty all the time!

[outoftown]

Not sure what the commenters see. To me that sure is a launch

[NorthTexasWeLove]

What in the hell are we doing

Morris turning to gimmick plays

I don't like the rule but I think waiving this one off was appropriate.

[Side.Show.Joe]

Touchdown!

[3_n_out]

FINALLY!!!

Yeah. He could have cleaned his clock, but chose not to. I wouldn't have called it targeting either. 

[outoftown]

Needed that TD big time. Great work by the WRs on that drive. OL also managed to hold up pretty well against multiple pressure and blitz situations.

We hire coaches who dig their own graves.

I actually respectfully, disagree.  I think Eric is a great coach.  Sure, he’s learning and sorting through shit from a HC perspective.  We, as a University and fanbase, just don’t provide the support necessary at the level we have to to achieve the success we expect.  We are cheap.  If you care, pay.  And don’t stop.  Because our competitors won’t stop.  This is a money game now more than ever.  But, we are a middle class school and that’s what we will get unless we decide to fight for it as a FANBASE.  Money is the key.  Do what you can guys.  Whatever it is.  If you want it to be different, find a way to give more.  I know that sounds sucky but it’s the truth.

Sorry for anyone who placed a bet on the over.  Who would have guessed this score?

Then how do schools like Liberty, Costal Carolina, Georgia Southern, App St, etc manage to not only find good coaches, but compete and even beat P5 teams?

I don't buy this excuse. We had one of the highest coaching payrolls and athletic budgets in CUSA and we're competitively funded in the American. We are not spreading around NIL money like a P5 school but aside from SMU nobody in our conference is.

Telling average fans to give more money is a waste of time when the results on the field don't deserve more money.

This is torture. This defense is absolutely worthless. Morris has to answer for this crap. If Navy doesn't get penalties, they will spend the next 5 minutes getting another TD. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Highly important set of downs. 

[Side.Show.Joe]

Thank goodness for penalties. Now let's hope this 50 doesn't give up a deep ball.

NICE D on that play.

[Side.Show.Joe]

Thank goodness for bad passes too. Both of those should have been touchdowns.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

With this D&D hiw in the hell are players running behind us. Ridiculous.

It was underthrown. Had the pass be on target, it would have been a touchdown. We got lucky.
