***OFFICIAL TULSA vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

[El Paso Eagle]

Not that I want to run it up, but I also don't like playing so passively as long as the other team keeps trying to score.

[DentonLurker]

I’ve seen so many games where UNT hasn’t put away even the bad teams that I’m super encouraged by what this team has done tonight. The stats don’t matter. They start over every game and as long as we win the points stat, I don’t care if we lose every other stat category. This team has taken care of business tonight. That’s bad*ss!

[NT80]

Gained 620 total yards.   Gave up 368 yards.

When was the last game we won in a dominant fashion? It was over in the 3rd quarter

[NT80]

QB Morris = 22 completions for 439 passing yards, 5 tds, 0 ints.

[El Paso Eagle]

13 penalities for 115 yards. We have to clean this up

Screw Tulsa calling a TO to try and score after we took it easy on them on the last drive.

It's one thing to keep trying for junk scores if the other team is keeping their starters in, but when they go with backups and you still do it, that's poor

[TripleGrad]

The ESPN announcer stated "4-1 matches the best record since 1991" but that's factually incorrect.  In 2018 UNT went 4-0 (including beating an SEC team) and lost at home to go 4-1.  

 

(And boy did that last missed field goal hurt.  I was there; that stadium went from rockin' to dead)

This would’ve been a great line for a RB or a WR

The people that bet the over were very happy with that score.

 

[Graddean]

When your QB is hitting 65% of passes for a 20 yard/reception average, you are not going to lean on your running game.  We can say it shouldn’t be that way, but it is harder to maintain focus in a blowout.

The more I think about these last two games, you have to give Morris/Caponi some credit. This is a different defense. Still lots of room to grow. They would tell you that, but this year would be an exact copy of last year if they hadn’t made the change. Also, Morris is a hell of an offensive coach!

If I was head coach, my assistants would have had to talk me out of running the starters back out there.

Poor, but not unexpected. The Tech loss hurt. Tulsa isn't going to bring a ton or draw a ton of interest to the casual DFW UNT fan. If we beat FAU and Memphis, I think we'll see a 23k+ crowd for Tulane (maybe more if it's a "bowl eligible" marketing ploy to fill stands). Unless we really S the bed against Tulane, we'll see a good crowd for Army (at minimum 20k). Unless we're having a killer season at that point, we'll see another sub-par attendance for ECU. Realistically, I think we end up averaging 22k-23k, which would be a good improvement from last year. I'd be happier with 24k-25k.

If we beat FAU and Memphis I would be really disappointed with anything less than 28k for Tulane.  6-1 vs a team that has been one of the best in our conference over the last 2 years.  Plus…it’s homecoming.

I probably set the bar low. I don't know what it's like for UNT to go 6-1. I do know what it's like for UNT to have poor attendance. 

[El Paso Eagle]

If we win they will come. Well if we win certain games they will come. Well we can't have a bad loss and still win games or they won't come. I hate to say it but we have way too many conditions to get people to show up. Having under 20,000 people for a game with great weather is an embarrassment and the school should be ashamed of itself. I'm not sure if they will ever change the way they do stuff but whatever we're doing with the fan base is not working. 

 

PS we need to stop trying to play up the we have so many alums in the DFW area when talking about why we should be looked at by other conferences.
