I noticed two of our suspended back on Saturday. X'Avion Brice #23 recovered the fumbled punt, so he is at least seeing action on special teams.

Also noticed #30 B.J. Allen playing safety in the second half.  He was very highly thought of coming out of high school.  It would not surprise me to see him start taking reps away from our other two safeties.  When we had a boundary safety, #21 Jaylen Hill was a good fit.  He can actually tackle.  When we could match him in man coverage vs a TE in the Tulsa and Wyoming games, he was okay.  Florida Atlantic went after him in coverage often on Saturday and it showed.  They were able to match him on slot receivers and he had trouble.  From what I see, he is a little undisciplined in coverage at times.  I think playing Allen more and #49 McFarland may have been part of our halftime adjustments.  

We played a lot of zone in the first half.  In the second half it was a lot more man.  I would bet Allen sees the field more these coming weeks.  McFarland may have been in because #2 Evan Jackson seems to have a lingering injury.

Just food for thought.

@aztecskinmentioned how Allen seemed quick to react during his limited action. 

Seems like we play our best defense when we play man on the outside.  It’s a lot of pressure on our corners, but if they can handle it, we’re a better defense.  

Would also like to see a few more blitzes.  Giving Hennigan too much time would not be good for us.

Yeah Herman mentioned that we went man a lot late to stop the run. in the last film room I noted that Hill was going to get worked over the top eventually. I thought he was out of the game in part because of an injury? I did notice 49 McFarland in more. I know Evan Jackson  is more of our cover safety and he was out. That muddles the evaluation a bit. Something for the reporters to ask though.

      there's a collection of asshats who will downvote anytime I make a post. they think I care, I guess? to the bold statement...I do. to the rest...whatever. he's a 4 year scholarship player who has a less than 2ppg average for his career. it's not really his fault...he should be at ACU or some D2 program. everyone on the team "hustles" I'll say again, if Mason and/or Cotton don't have Stone's 10ish minutes by conference play, then I have real questions about our recruitment.

      things I liked: 1. Wright and Floyd. this is gonna develop into one hell of a dynamic backcourt 2, Jossell and Massie off the bench. Massie is tough...has some TBell to him...Jossell's shooting was off tonight, but I think he's gonna have some 20+ nights throughout the year. 3. increased pace...this team wants to run more, but we still have a lot of defensive minded dudes out there things I didn't like: 1. Lorient as a straight swap for Sissoko. Sissoko played 25min, Lorient 15...all as the 5. I don't think Lorient brings enough size (nor do I think Sissoko brings enough offense) for that to be a straight 40 min rotation 2. no underclassmen playing. Wayland might be a better chance for deeper rotation, but if #1 above is our best bet at the 5 and if those 12 minutes of Stone is more than what Mason/Cotton have, I'm worried about our depth 3. increased pace...we did this last season to...tried to play early with more tempo...I'm not convinced

      Just so you know, I am not the one who downvoted you, but everything you just typed is hate on Stone. If you want to indict someone, then indict McCasland because he recruited Stone. To talk about how bad he has played when he gives everything he has is hate. Then you say no one is hating on him when the comment I quoted is hate on him. Get mad if you want. I don't care. Stone is going to be a UNT grad and I am cool with that. I will not respond to this again no matter what you say. Others can feel free to comment, but I won't. I am cool with Stone giving us as you say his "hustle" minutes.

      for eff's sake...no one "hates on" Matt Stone. of course he's never said a bad word...we're the only mid-major D1 program to offer him a scholarship the pure truth of the matter is that he was at best a low D1 recruit and has never really developed much beyond that. I guess that's not his fault, but the simple fact is that he has contributed very little outside of hustle to this team in his four years here. Stone is a career 27% 3pt shooter, and a career 36% FG shooter. he's not a plus defender. if he's the 10th/11th guy in rotation...an experienced break-glass-in-emergency type, I dig him...but if neither Mason nor Cotton can take Stone's minutes this season that's an indictment on them/our recruiting. take that as "hate" all you want. the fact is Stone is a tier below what UNT should be expecting from a roster spot, let alone. a rotation player
