I am going with Damon Ward Jr. on offense.  Kid has worked himself back from a pretty nasty knee injury a couple of years ago and is now a senior.  I look for him to lead us in receiving this year.

Defense, I am going with Jordan Brown.  He has been a pretty steady contributor for a couple of years at LB, but this year he is going to take his game to the next level and remind us of some of our LB's of the past.

I would like to thank these young men for making me look much smarter than I am.

Love the game Ward had and how he catches everything with his hands.  Fundamentally sound and going to have a big year.  I didn't see an "adoption thread" for this year, but I am claiming Ward.

Brown was steady with 8 total tackles, if memory serves.

      Next Time…

      All the years we have run that system have not been fruitful, so we just keep doing the same thing? It's fine to take bits and pieces that work, but I would like to see someone outside of this coaching tree. I think it'd actually be a good thing to expand recruiting.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      I wrote about our version of the 3-3-5 -- which is known either as 3-high, or 3-3-3. I think it has som e interesting things, and that we have improved. I think Texas Tech killed us and made everything we did wrong. https://www.meangreennation.com/publish/post/147907725 The best stuff we did was in the first two drives -- those ones where we still allowed 10-points and they ran with ease. Outside of that I think we were laughed off the field. The scheme can be good and our packaging/prep/personnel bad. Or some other combinations. Last year I thought we didn't have enough talent. This year we level up, but Caponi called a weird game and we were underprepared against a very talented offense with a very talented OC.

      Air Force Serious Target For AAC

      Best Scenario = UNT gets an invite to the PAC12 with Memphis, Tulane, and UTSA and makes the move. Second Best Scenario = UNT, Memphis, Tulane, and USF all stay in the American and Air Force joins to round out the military academies. Even if UTSA or TX State go to the PAC, this American configuration would be arguably on par with that PAC. Worst Case Scenario = UTSA, Rice, Memphis, and Tulane all go to the PAC12, and the American backfills with Air Force Academy and TX State. Things worst case scenario because the PAC will clearly be the “best of the rest” and the next media deal with the American will not be as lucrative.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      The 3-3-5 should be a situational defense. Not a base defense. Need to be able to be multiple against offenses now. Again, problems arise when you don't have depth players who buy in. Missing on so many transfers that were supposed to help the back half of our defense really hurt us this past weekend, IMO. Whether from injury, legal issues, etc....we are undersized and too slow to play with a Big 12 offense.

      Oregon State AD: Pac-12 will look to add new schools quickly

      Several G5's are going to have to make some difficult choices on football in the coming years. UNT will be okay but schools like Tulsa, UTEP, Ark State, etc. could be forced to shut it down.
