Our running backs have gone from being a major strength to a glaring weakness from the past few years until now.  
As much as I like Harris and hoped for his success, I felt like there were a couple of times on Saturday that a quick, speedy back (such as Evans) could have  had long runs when Harris was limited to 5-10 yard gains.  
 

I know it was against backups, but I like what I saw of Porter on Saturday.

Fortunately, the coaching of that position group is a strength for this program.

Nothing official since it was announced they are indefinitely suspended. My totally uninformed opinion is that the school/team is waiting for the legal process to play out before making any further decisions.

I believe I saw a tweet from JD that said at least one of them is no longer with the team. If it's really just trespassing I have no idea why they aren't on the field there has to be more to it. I wouldn't count on seeing any of them play this season.

On that note still no Gabe Blair, who is probably our best offensive lineman. I am wondering if we will see him at all this year.

All 3 are still listed on the roster.
 

Jasper Lott was on the depth chart yesterday and now removed from the roster list today. So id assume the 3 suspended are at least still available to come back.

The roster in general. I know I haven’t paid the closest attention this season (bc I have so little faith in Morris to succeed and NIL) but the amount of names that are not familiar in that roster is concerning. Down to fourth and fifth string RBs, injuries all along the line, suspended DBs, and no kicker worth a damn. Two true freshmen backup QBs (to a fragile guy) and apparently an INT machine of a starter leaves no real threat of benching Morris if this string of turnovers continues. 
It’s a bit of a mess.

I am also concerned about WR depth.. Reminder that all 3 picks in the Tech game were Freshman WR's fault... One INT this entire year has actually been on C Morris. On top of that, why did our "Most Dynamic WR", DT not get a single touch in the biggest game of the year? Something is off.

I was thinking that they might hold them out until AAC play starts. No information, just a guess. Otherwise, just kick them off the team. Does anyone know if they have been able to participate in practice during the suspension?

I agree that the offensive game plan seemed to be off from the jump. DT was returning kicks so it doesn’t seem injury related. Ward only had two catches. Need to get the ball in their hands.

This is also a problem.. More of an OL issue. IMO. No trust by the staff or QB to stay in the pocket. It also just looks like Chandler doesn't have trust in his WR's. He's hesitating, is that not trusting WR, OL, or both? Either way, the defense is catching alot of heat, and I think the offense needs to step it up as well. Plenty of issues on Offense & Defense need to be fixed. Let's see if it happens.

So after the election? 

Wait, wrong legal process. Carry on.

If they aren't going to be reinstated by conference play, kick them off the team. If they are going to be allowed back, I wanted to know if the suspension allows them to practice. If not, after 4-5 weeks, they won't be in shape enough to play this year.

Why won't they be in shape? It's no different than a player getting hurt and returning after 5 weeks. Just because they're not practicing with the team, doesn't mean they're not training on their own.

It's not the same. They aren't getting reps in practice and in position meetings. Even the NFL ddoesn't just throw them back into a game without a couple of weeks of practice.

Why would you kick off 3 sophomores that you expect to play a high number of snaps? If the team believes they can return (either this year or the next) it would be roster malpractice to remove them from the team.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
