How was the Spring game? (new format & stuff)

[MAX KOCH]

QB performance  ... Do we have a defense?

[MeanGreen_MBA]

Defense was flying all

over the place.  No missed tackles.  Not sure how that really equates. Offense showed signs. 
 

frosh QB threw 2 pick 6’s in the first half, and came back with 2 good TD drives in the 2nd half.  Looked pretty good.  Throws a good ball.  The picks were on out patterns, and were both good plays by the secondary.  Receivers won most of the jump balls which is good/bad depending on which side of the ball you are on….but they were covered well  
 

I liked the format   Really only 2 Qb’s played   I didn’t see any injuries   
 

I give it a solid B

Reading green numbers on black jerseys is tough but I believe Mooney threw the first pick 6. Were official stats every published anywhere?

@Brett Vito reported it was Mooney intercepted by BJ Allen. Cash threw the second pick 6 to Ridge Texada.

Hey…2 pick 6 is more than we have in a couple of years.

Stone 17 of 22 for a little over 200 yards and 1 Td pass. Cash 150 yards and 2 TD passes. 1 int. Vito did not list Reese stats, but only completed 3 or 4 passes and also had 1 int. Cash and Reese switched out at QB for the green team. Stone was only QB for the white team. Stone led 1 TD drive and 2 field goal drives. Cash led 2 TD drives and 1 field goal drive. Reese no scoring drives. (From Brett Vito)
 

o line looked solid. It was a hodgepodge at running back because most of them are injured. Receivers did a good job of catching the balls. 
 

Defense played fast and aggressive. Should be much improved.

I think Earle will get the start because he knows the  plays best but ultimately Morris will take over the saddle and lead the team.

I guess you missed Texada completely whiff the RB in the 2nd quarter?

The TE from UCO is going to be really fun to watch.  If he has the ability to be a grad transfer he may only be here a year.  That is a P5 TE.

Hearing that Chandler may be done with football. Hope that’s bad intel.

This would not surprise me.  He has had some significant injuries throughout his career and may be ready to call it a day.

How brilliant on his part if true. If he knew he was going to retire from football why not wait until you get added to a roster for the first college football video game in over a decade. Sucks for us but well played for him.

Only at UNT does arguably your best portal recruit decide to give up football.😩

Probably saw what he had to work with, then started weighing his options.

I'm hearing Caleb Williams is withdrawing from the NFL draft and transferring to UNT after getting a lifetime mani-pedi offer from a local nail salon.

I look forward to seeing him and Landon Sides on the field at the same time.

Also, if Shane Porter (#24 on the spring roster) is only playing running back for spring practice, then I assume he would be a slot receiver this fall. If he can catch as well as he can run with the ball, then we would have another Landon Sides out there. 

Players like these have the ability to make just about any QB look good. Just get the ball in their hands.

Agree! It also allows for a much more high percentage throw instead of the vertical ball that is so prevalent in offenses like these.

Me and hubby went.  He seemed to think we would not be good this coming year but could be good in a couple of years.  They have a lot of young kids out there that they need to devlop into men.  We will be at every home game no matter what.
