For all the doubt about Morris….

[MGNation92]

…..Seth Littrell would’ve lost this game by 30.

He still has a lot to learn as a young HC, but he has cajones. This team has gotten better every week and I’d put Rogers as one of, if not the best QB in the conference right now. These guys are clearly buying in and it shows. I’m not guaranteeing a win in the next three games but I damn sure have a lot more hope than I did after FIU. We could easily be 6-1 right now if Rogers starts the whole season. Defense is making big stops, and Morris is aggressive as hell with an explosive offense. I like our chances the rest of the way.

SMU noticed our quarterback, and all of a sudden we have their attention. 

Beat Memphis!

Agree 💯 and his play calling on offense was WAY better than Tulane’s.  His offense is fun to watch!  He came into his own today.  He showed us a swagger.

And if the defense made some key stops like they did today.  We aren’t winning many games with the performances the defense put up in our losses.

I love the smell of second half adjustments.

That was an amazing turnaround today.  There was lots of pre-game talk about Tulane making excellent halftime adjustments in previous games (Memphis).   I think Tulane went into cruise-mode in the third quarter thinking our game was over.

I have been thinking all along that Rodgers was a Senior.  I just found out he is only a Junior.

How nice would it be going into 2024 knowing we have the QB position solidified (assuming the transfer portal does not strike again).  Harris and his 7 year run at UTSA have been the main reason for their recent success.

I'm not a Morris hater, nor did I think firing Littrell was wrong... 

But Littrell beat the last ranked opponent he faced

Anyone know the class status of our OL? Gonna be mostly a new group next year?

Are you talking about our win against UTSA? A game that was at home in the cold rain against a team that is not used to playing in bad weather? That was a great game but I have a feeling we would have lost if the weather hadn't been on our side.

You can’t act like Morris is a proven coach. He hasn’t proven anything. And, even tho we were competitive yesterday, we still lost. We all came in to the season with high hopes. In fact, he thought we would be competitive right away. He misjudged our talent level, and didn’t firmly institute his culture and building process. So, based on each individual point of view, we’re either underachieving, not coached well, rebuilding or a mixture of those. 
Look, I want UNT to succeed. Yes, they played well and hung with a ranked opponent many view as the best team in the conference. But, we also lost to FIU and Navy.
We’ve already played half the season. We are what our record says we are, ultimately. Now, how can we maintain this trajectory/momentum if you can call it that? Can we be more consistent and play well for two halves? So, Until these questions are answered, Morris and his staff should be scrutinized.  If we want to be in a big conference, we need to act like one and demand success.

I have never seen an NT team get better like this as the season went along.  Sure, you're almost always going to clean some stuff up as the season progresses, but this team is really progressing and I'm very encouraged for the future of the program under Morris.

But Seth would of beat FIU and perhaps Navy....and not so much as by 30. Morris was the next step...no he isn't...he's on a learning curve just like Seth was when he got here. Time will tell after this year..maybe next year after the 'Rebuild'..

But Morris has 5 games left to shut up the doubters.

Seth never learned how to make halftime adjustments or how to use time outs! IMHO

[GMG_Dallas]

I was very frustrated after the FIU loss and was convinced Morris was the wrong hire based on the regression from last year to this one. Then I learned multiple players, even some on the 2 deep, had been dismissed. As a result, new guys were going to get significant playing time and were going to be challenged in a role they had never had at the college level. This team has gotten better every single week since then. That's not something that happens when you have a bad HC. Yesterday tells me we have a chance to win every game left on our schedule. We couldn't say that a few weeks ago.

I believe Morecka is the only senior.

Yes. I'm talking about the game with two teams playing on the same field... Unless you think NT should be excused any time we play in the alamodome because we aren't used to playing in a dome

What about the 5 game run to become bowl eligible and beating ranking UTSA?

That is the truth no sense downvoting or rolling your eyes at that comment.  UTSA is the ONLY team in college football south of Idaho and Syracuse that plays their home games in a dome.  I was there probably not like the people who downvoted and eye rolled.  It was cold, wet, windy a miserable.  We were a dominant running team and they were a passing team.  You couldn’t have crafted a better home field advantage for us that day with 20,000 more fans showing up.  
 

Being dishonest about our program doesn’t help it do better.

Hey...Seth had topped out at NT. Mosely was going to hire the next step for head coach to get us to the promised land. IT DIDNT HAPPEN. This wasn't suppose to be a total rebuild.

Hopefully...in a couple years Morris will have us there. Right now he has 5 games to make us look forward to next year.

Just my opinion

He never got better in all 3 phases.

 

We can hope that this staff is getting it all figured out.

Sometimes it feels like people downvote before they even read the post. Oh well
