Don’t…Just Don’t!

Save all that “But we’re 5-2, anyone would have taken that at the beginning of the season” BS.  
 

Everyone would have taken 5-2 because of how piss poor the defense was last year. Well, this team isn’t 6-1 because that defense is STILL piss poor.  
 

We scored 44 points…FORTY FOUR…and lost by 8!  There is no f’in silver lining around that 💩

Serious question. Is it a lack of NIL funds that we cant/won't sign defensive players? Is all available money going to the offense? We don't have any playmakers on defense. They're all on the offensive side.

Where did I say “but we’re 5-2, anyone would’ve taken that at the beginning of the season” in my post?

we are on our way to a pretty good season but if we want to win ‘ships, the defense needs to step up.

[Glory to the Green]

Our offense had a chance to tie and didn’t.  Win as a team and lose as a team.

UNT never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I feel like the spread itself doesn't lend itself to hitting/tackling in practice, as well as the fact that Texas HS Football has become glorified 7-on-7 for years (thanks Mike Leach), so this shows up really big for a team at our level, where our quality Dc's and talents just gets poached away every year.

yes, it sucks that 44 points were not enough. But if you have 130 yards more than the opponent and lose by 8, more than just the defense went wrong. Like in-game coaching decisions for example.

It’s worth mention we have not beat a FBS team that has a winning record.

UH is 15th in the BigXII.  That seem impossible.

Neither has Army. Their 6 FBS wins are against the bottom of the AAC. A combined 12-30. The 7th win is against 3-3 Lehigh. Maybe we can ease up on the Army fear.

Have you watched them though? We definitely should fear them with our defense.

Admittedly I have not. My question to you is how much of that falls on the teams they've played? We've seen what 2-5 looks like over the years. We know how bad a team has to be on all sides of the ball to go 2-5. They've played 4 teams who are 2-5, one who's 1-6 in UAB, and ECU who just fired their coach. We'd be undefeated with their schedule too.

It's really hard to say. I get your point. The option against our defense is really what I am most afraid of. They have a QB now too. It's not just running.

lol Caponi and Co cannot take anyone lightly.
