DT Sheffield has been having a great year: 62 receptions, 775 yards receiving, 10 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. 

But today…

He had a horrible fumble that likely caused a 14-point swing in the final score.

He dropped an easy, wide open pass with nothing but green turf in front of him that would have been an easy touchdown. 

Then, on the final drive of the game, with the season potentially on the line, Sheffield is on the sidelines for first down, second down and third down. Goes into the game on fourth down and is no factor.

Does Eric Morris not have enough faith in his best player to allow him to work through his mistakes?

Or is DT Sheffield just a transfer portal knucklehead who can’t be trusted?

He's already out on X apologizing to everyone.  

While I hate seeing dropped passes, I refuse to roast this young man.  He's been a pleasant surprise in this otherwise mediocre season.

He hasn't been a factor in the last 3 games, Also our QB hasn't been as accurate as well.

Sheffield dropped some passes, but this loss isn't on him. He wasn't sending in bad plays for the offense, or playing on the defensive side of the ball, or kicking field goals tonight. When a team has as many issues as we had tonight, the blame falls squarely on the coaches.

Our opponents have figured out our one dimensional offense and our middle school head coach.

You are correct, lets not dog the players, they can only do what the coaches allow. Defense is poorly coached, OLine is atrocious, Playcalling Sucks and constantly puts the team behind the 8 ball. Dropped passes were horrible tonight but when there is no accountability from the HC or rest of the staff

Some P4 coach will say that this showed them how much heart Sheffield has whenever they pay him to leave here.

I have no doubt he is gone along with half of the roster.  It's just a fact of life where we are with football, and some players that know they are transferring are going to start shutting things down early (not just at UNT, but something we definitely struggle with here).  Not really anything we can do about it unless we start playing big in the NIL arena.

Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright?

I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
