I'll add what I can remember:

-Todge kept coming back to tackling. Definitely a high priority this week.

-He doesn't give offensive/defensive MVP awards. They have a production point system and name the most productive players on each side: it was Fitz on offense and Weathers on D

-Another defense comment: need to work on angles. Some of you already touched on this, that OU beat us to the outside a lot...specifically the bubble screen. He brought up a successful defensive series in the early 2nd quarter: OU ran up the middle for a two yard gain, did the bubble screen (which was defended correctly) that only got 3 yards, and then an incomplete pass on 3rd down to force a punt. They'll look at that and say this is what we need to do, now what can we do to correct the other times where we failed?

-He played up SMU a lot about continuing a series with them. You could tell he sells the idea of "team of the metroplex".

-He feels very confident in addressing and correcting things this week. The team is feeling very good, but not getting lazy. They want to improve and show that they believe in this system. Dodge explains to them his expectations, and 95% of the time up to this point they have met them.

That's off the top of my head. I recognized Vito's voice a couple times. Let me answer some questions I know are floating around in some of your heads:

-No, he did not address Meager or Vizza. Quarterbacks were not brought up at all.

-He hates losing. It doesn't sit well with the team and that's the way he likes it. When you have true competitors, losing will put a sickness in your stomach and the only way to get it out is on the practice field the following Monday.

back to work. hope that helps.

GOOD STUFF...THANKS FOR THE SUMMARY...YOU KNOW THE POOR DEFENSIVE SHOWING HAS THEM POORING OVER FILM TO GET THINGS CORRECTED.

Things = angles and tackles.

It maybe have been a poor showing, but I wouldn't label it a poor overall performance. There were some good things going on in there.

I think everyone needs to read this.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
