My mistake, they have won 1 game. This still doesn’t make the defense look any better. 

You are right. I was just stating that they were not winless. It still doesn't excuse the defense for playing like trash.

In the second half our defense gave up one touchdown after an interception put FAU on our 10 yard line and one field goal after an 18-yard drive. No other points. Part of the story of this incred

Glad we won, but we have better figure out how to tackle because Army will rush for 1000 yards if we don't. We better make them beat us with the passing game.

Just win. I don’t care what it looks like. 5-1 doesn’t happen around here very often. I’ll take it.

the coaches realize that on a bye week, they probably should practice, team looks like they have done nothing for 2 weeks

They probably had a bye with practices too.

You said “same shit, different week” now you (and others) are wanting throw in the “ the teams we played were terrible.”  That’s true, but the defense played well against the last two weeks, so it’s not “same shit, different week.”  Maybe “the last two weeks were fool’s gold” is more accurate.

And I stand by that. Wyoming is complete trash and I still don’t think they looked “great”. They also gave up over 400 yards to Tulsa, 229 on the ground. Same shit.

Great point. This is still something I think is a poor reflection on Coach Morris. You have a defense that finished last in all of college football and you did not make changes. The only bigger question than why we are paying him anything is why do some people seem to still think Caponi can turn it around?

But, remember, he wanted to implement the defense which gave him trouble.

Fair enough.  I don’t necessarily agree, but that doesn’t matter.

Maybe this is a reflection of his readiness to be a head coach. He should not be so concerned on what causes one offense to have trouble but what defense is can step up against multiple different offenses.

Herman and his staff utilized their Bye Week to work on things, Morris and Staff regressed it seems from what worked against Wyoming and Tulsa

FAU Season Avg 22 pts, first half tonight 24 pts. 

Caponi needs to be gone

Runners are basically playing bumper cars off our tackles.

Seriously, this is what it seems like:

Coach: "Tackle the ball carrier!!!"
Player: "But coach, he's WET!  Ooohhh!!"

After listening to Morris talk about his defense during the pregame show, it’s pretty obvious he is pleased at how well they have been playing.

FAU HAS OVER 300 YARDS OF OFFENSE IN THE FIRST HALF

At what point in the future does our head coach get tired of being embarrassed by the defensive play and make a change. We don't need a holistic approach to anything we need a defensive coordinator who can make adjustments and have teams ready before the game starts

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
