***UNT vs Tulane In-Game Discussion Thread***

54 has to see that LB scraping towards chandler. Just stood there

[untbowler]

Chandler had a Wide Open RB in the flat, he has to get rid of the ball

[TripleGrad]

Ah dang.  Close but not enough for the Mean Green.

[GMG_Dallas]

It's over but proud of the fight. Needed a better 1st half but the defense played a great game.

[Udomann]

That's an L. But great game second half. Wish we didn't have to rely on so many 4th down conversions.

[keith]

They tripped each other.  Tough break. 

[Got5onIt]

WR on the slant tripped. How crappy that play was. 

[outoftown]

Pitty. But this game was progress. Much more confident UNT can win 3 of the next five than i was before this game.

I will give Morris credit for having balls in this game. That said at some point you have to improve on that 4-th down percentage.

Best game I have seen this year. Good job.

[billyboy85]

Got to be proud of these guys

Passing was too aggressive in that last series of downs. Had plenty of time to throw short of the sticks on first and second instead of slinging it 15+ down field. 
Too bad our defense didn’t do a little more to help out. 

[3_n_out]

You gotta go to your main WR. Gotta find him. Live or die with him. 

[3_n_out]

Props to the defense. Much maligned, but they kept us in the game. I hope this is how we play the rest of the season. I can definitely live with this. Great showing Mean Green! Keep your heads high!

There are no moral victories, but I’m encouraged by: 

- The fact that we have a QB FINALLY.  There is no controversy, Rogers is your guy

- The defense showed signs of life 

- Nobody is more upset by this loss than our team.  I guaran-damn-tee you they believe they should won

- Thousands of North Texas alums just saw their squad go toe to toe with a squad that ended last year with a Cotton Bowl win over USC

- I now have a reason to begin my homecoming tailgate on FRIDAY!!!

Happy with their effort. But such a north Texas way for our own players to trip over each other to lose it. 

[cousin oliver]

I saw a different team.  Wish they would not have left that QB to walk in the end zone on Tulane's final drive though.

Last night’s Rangers game was a kick in the right nut. This was a kick to the left

If you have to improve on 4th down percentage,  then you shouldn't worry about improving on 4th down percentage.  Once your team is relying on that then there's 10 other things you needed to fix first

[Salsa_Verde]

So we are going with the moral victory? 😂

Sounds like a moral victory to me

[NT93]

Disappointed, but encouraged.  Glad we didn’t fire Morris after the Cal game😂

I don’t know you, besides what you say on this site,  but I agree with everything you have said in this chat today. This team can only improve and we lost what was supposed to be some of our best offensive and defensive players before the season started to the portal.

[Side.Show.Joe]

Very proud of the second half effort. If we can learn to do that in the 1st half too, we will be a really good AAC team. The rest of our schedule doesn't look as bleak after this performance. 

But, the receivers have to learn to sit in the zones and let Chandler deliver the ball. Those passes weren't behind them. They were in the open spots in the zone. And, while the defense can come up with big plays, they still can't consistently stop the run.

Ball at the end of the game with a chance to tie or win against #23 on the road.  Can’t ask for much more than that.  Horrible timing on a freak tripping on that last 4th down play.  
 

Feel like we turned a corner in the second half that may save the season if we continue to play that way.

Agree with what's been said here. The effort put in by the team in the 2nd half, as well as the mental fortitude to not give up was good to see. Lot's of improvement needed, but a good showing on national TV.
