Well, we may lose the all the rest, and we all knew that.

At least the freshman QB is getting experience

I thought the learning curve was with the O. They really have not played that bad this year.

It's the D--mostly secondary that is consistantly out of position to make plays.

The O-Line looked really bad tonight

Are you for @#$%ing real?!?!?!?!?!

What difference does the Freshman getting experience make if the Defense is not improving?!?!

I am 100% with Rick here. I don't give a crap who we're playing in the pocket. Vizza exhibited EVERY PROBLEM people on this board beat on Meager about, yet we're having a love fest with this guy. I'm not against him, it's really the same deal no matter which QB you play, so I don't think it matters, and neither of these guys will be QB next year... BET THE FARM ON IT.

So that brings us back to the REAL problem. If we had a halfway decent defense, we'd be 3 and 2 and would be in the hunt for the Conf. crown RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! The Offense has done as great a job at this point in the development of this new system as anyone could be asking them to. The D is TERRIBLE.

...and the PROBLEM IS NOT THE PLAYERS. Dodge is proving his Offensive system is going to work here, but this Mendoza guy, I'm sorry, HAS GOT TO GO!!! No, I'm not going to give him any more time. This is just pathetic. We played a more complex defense in Jr. High for the love of God.

Our Offense is way better this. I am happy about that but I get a real sick felling in my stomach to see our defense try to play. agree with KingDL1, happy to see Vizza get playing time and build his experience up.

I have to agree. If I am going to watch a loss (which we won't win any with this defense) then give me Vizza at the QB position. If you can't see the difference in the two QB's it's too bad, because it is pretty obvious. As Stebo said earlier tonight - we have seen what Meager can do, and it is not good enough.

You speak like our D is full of studs it is not!

The team is building and will be for the next 4 years, so yes the freshman getting experience matters greatly.

Yeah, they did.

And don't forget this fantastic offense everyone keeps talking about has turned the ball over 10 times in our 3 winnable games vs. SMU, FAU, and ULL, and is pretty far to the bottom of the barrell in every category but passing yards (note that that includes SCORING, which is what good teams do when they get a 1st down near the opponent's 30-yd line).

But yeah, this D is certainly worse. Maybe if they keep changing the SCHEME (everyone's favorite term now that they've been deputized as coaches) every week, they won't look nearly as lost on defense... maybe.

Vizza is a TRUE freshman making his first start. That was a pretty damn good performance overall. He gained confidence as the game went on and showed leadership skills that are sorely needed right now. Congrats to Vizza. You should be pretty proud of that performance, which was good enough to win.

Vizza will cut down on the turnovers as time goes on, which is why he needs to be playing now.

On the other hand, you have to agree with Rick that we won't win until the D shapes up.

Get real guys.

Nobody is saying the Offense is perfect, but the Defense is TOTALLY INEPT. COMPLETELY.

...and King - this had better not be a 4 year building process... We should be in the hunt for the Conf. Title RIGHT NOW... or at very least by next year.

"Vizza exhibited EVERY PROBLEM people on this board beat on Meager about,"

Not true. Vizza showed more leadership. And, I think he runs the running part of the spread better (those option dives, or whatever they are called).

I am not trying to bash Meager. And, I was not one that was calling for his benching. But, I was really happy with what I saw from Vizza tonight. And, he will get better.

No better than Meager IMO. It still makes no difference. 4 turnovers in a half.

I think we will be in the hunt next year, but the question is two years ago we got a record score hung on us by Tulsa at home, and last year the MUTs killed us. I have not seen a good defense here in three years so I can't figure out why anyone thinks we had a defense going into this season.

well, we certainly didn't think we'd have the worst in the nation.

What a bunch of insanity. We just lost to the second worst team in Division 1. The green koolade must be VERY powerful. It so dulls the senses that you can try to dissect mud.

Seriously? You really didn't see a difference in Vizza? Sure he had first game jitters, but the guy got better as the game went on. Dodge said after the game he knew he would have jitters early, but he got better and he said tonight, that the coaching staff felt that Vizza is their best option (or something of the sort).

anybody who thought we would or should contend for the sunbelt title this year needs a reality check. the talent just isn't there across the board.

having said that, the talent on defense is not equal to the performances we are getting from them.

The difference is that Vizza got stronger has the game went on. And, he never had that "deer in the headlights" look.

It was his very first full college game. If you take out the first 3 or 4 drives, he played a really good game.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green: 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      What's a reasonable expectation for our defense? Given this offense and the history of the Leach tree, I dnh't think T30 is within reach, but can we feel comfortable if Cassity gets this in the T30-60 range? Do we win 9-10 games with that level of play? Consider me cautiously optimistic. I totally get the concerns, too.
