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

[UNTEngr.#43]

Once again poor defense and offense smh !

[meangreen2016]

Only saw the play once but it looked like Harris lost forward motion. Initially surprised they didn’t call it dead in the backfield. Either way, defense stopped playing and that was awful. 

[HistoryMajor]

Feeling the wheels come off

[untbowler]

big 3rd down for the offense, otherwise UNT is in very big trouble

[untbowler]

4th and 1, will EM put the defense in bad spot by calling a piss poor play like 1st half

EM is pathetic on playcalling. 2x now screwed the defense with a 4 and 1 hand off 5 yds in the backfield

Why are we in the shotgun when we need 1 yard?!

[Andrew]

We have to get a goaline or atleast I-form formation. Always a couple yards behind center. 

[Coffee and TV]

JUST FCKING PUNT

[Green Otaku]

Is EM an idiot? He keeps making the same mistake over and over without learning a thing.

[MeanGreen17]

Thank goodness we were in shotgun right there!

[meangreen2016]

Second TOD with a 4th and short. Morris doesn’t trust the defense but now we can’t trust the offense either. 

[outoftown]

ouch. tht 4th down call never looked any good from the word go

ok. it was great in the first half on defense... but this one... whoo boy. That one would make me lose it if I were the coach.

the fumble before on offense didn't help either tough. Momentum clearly stolen by the pirates

The fumble was bad but happened because everyone knew that was the play so there were multiple defenders on the play. 
Then the next series we again go for it on 4th in our own terrify for absolutely no reason and get stuffed as usual. I see no reason that EM deserves another season.

When/if EM is ever let go here it'll be from his refusal to kick field goals/punts.

Which one could argue is a symptom of him insisting on being the OC instead of having a real OC. But that will require him hiring experienced coaches.

Especially, since if you don't get it, you put them in 4 down territory too.  At least we have a chance of stopping them back at the 20 with only 3 downs.

I agree. These risky 4th down plays show you are unwilling to learn and adjust even after being burned multiple times. If you can't game manage effectively you don't deserve to be the HC. Your wasting these player's effort and time with stupid decisions.

[untbowler]

defense at least held to a FG, now that 29 yd chip shot miss hurts. 

See if the offense can do anything, EM is to easy to guess what play he will be calling

[meaniegreenie]

Penalty puts us on the 40, so 4 down territory unless we lose yardage.

[untbowler]

and another dropped pass!!!!

then Sheffield lets it go thru his hands

not even 30 secs and 3rd and long

 

What a waste of a drive, 2 drops and then a pass of 4yds on 3rd and 10

I never thought I would ever witness a worse short-yardage offense than Dodge or Lattrell’s versions, but here we are.

DT barely had a chance on that one. Replay showed it was just off. 
That third down play would have been a better first down play to get some positive yards.
