The only OOC win I wanted was SMU.....for the following reasons

1. They snubbed our atheltic program admission into two great conferences, SWC and CUSA

2. I knew that they were going to have a terrible season, but I didnt want their only win to be against us, and surely not have A-state spank them on the following week after our gut wrenching loss.

While watching A-state put a 21-0 lead against the Stangs, I couldnt help but remember how we had a freaking 14 point lead only to see it get lost to by a piss poor defensive performance on the field.

To anyone who says that Justin Willis is a good qb, and that he was the reason they won, I say Ballsack.....Freakin Woody Wilson was a much better qb and had a great performance under Offensive Masterminds we had that year as our coaches, we outplayed them in every side of the ball, especially defense. Defense is what cost us the SMU game. Utah state gave up 50 points, we gave up nearly 80.

What I see as a difference, between last year's SMU and this years---- NOTHING

What I see as a difference, between last years team and this years-----

1. A coach who plays to win, no matter how much time is on the clock.

2. A receiving core that is unlike any other we have seen here at NT

3. Our Special Teams performance is actually fun to watch and actually quite good.

4. A substantial drop from what our Defense was before, our defense was what kept us in game's before. We lost that.

5. We still make mistkaes at the QB position, turnvovers, penalties drawn, and too much time with the ball.

SMU threw the ball very effectively against A-state. That gives us a lot of hope. Willis was tremendous on the ground. Meager is no Willis as far as ground game or willingness to run the ball with authority.

UNT might have a great day throwing the ball against A-state. Our defense will have to start showing immediate strides this week against FAU or it could be a long season.

Could we just drop mentioning this and the one Texas game we almost won for at least a week?

I agree our defense cost us plenty against SMU, however our penalties killed our offense and 3 OFFENSIVE DRIVES WERE KILLED BY INTERCEPTIONS, IMHO all 3 contributed to our loss not just our defense.

      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.
