We're 1-3 right now. It's not that inaccurate, but I have to admit that all 3 teams were teams that aren't cupcakes. Akron did well in their conference that's overall better than the SBC and they also served up some unexpected wins this season. Tulsa also showed their edge in their conference as well, and they're part of a better conference than the SBC. Frankly, the team is lined up against a bunch of conference champs except for SMU and LaTech.

I wish the team had done better in the last 2 games, with special attention to Tulsa, but at this point, all that matters is the rest of the season. From the play-by-play on Akron, the team managed well against a team it could've beaten if it didn't have ST problems.

Want another example of ST making a difference? Look at tonight's Falcons/Saints game. ST performance for the Saints helped get the ball rolling for a game that should've done the other way.

If we want cupcakes in our OOC schedule we're going to have to start playing 1-AA. There shouldn't be any excuses for a coach in his ninth year to not be competitive. This time Dickey didn't make any excuses.

Tulsa was manhandled by BYU and Akron lost to Central Michigan. I'll bet you're not going to find any of them in the Top 40. We were thoroughly beaten by both.

Yes, special teams made a couple of bad plays against Akron but so did Akron's STs. They also made one good play, blocking an Akron punt and recovering at the 5. We moved the ball one yard in four plays.

This was a team effort. We had some good moments and bad moments on offense, defense, and special teams. Unfortunately, the bad moments outweighed the good.

I wonder if DD is going to pull the ole "we played a good team -- they are their conference champs" line when we play the three co-SBC champs in conference wink.gif

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
