This past weekend our offense wasn't exactly kicking on all cylinders, but I was happy to see how the play calling was done. Everyone thinks of TD and the spread as strictly as passing offense, but thats a misconception. Yes we are going to have our games where we chunk it 40 times a game, but TD really wants the ratio more like 60/40 pass run. This past week the running game was working pretty well, but the passing game was lacking. I can't wait to see the game where both the run and pass are really working.

All this offense is concerned with is moving the chains. It's not really a 'bombs away' offense. It is about efficiency. If the run is working, he'll run the ball. If there are throwing lanes and guys getting open, he'll throw it. The neat thing is he will lull defenses to sleep with short routes, and then 'BAM', catch them sleeping and take a shot. There are no complaints with this offense. He'll stretch the field vertically, and stretch it horizontally. There are 6 weapons in this offense on every play, and all of them are contributing so far.

It is working on the college level, and that is with 3 scholarship receivers that were returning. Imagine when the recruits who fit this system get here...it's gonna be fun! It certainly is an exciting brand of football. We are beginning to execute better and better each week. One thing that's fun to watch is Vizza when the protection breaks down. He's a good runner with the ball in his hands, and likes to make things happen.

The line has improved every week and is way better than last year, IMO. From all my complaints last year with the interior line(G,C,G), this new coaching staff saw the problem and fixed it. B)

That was partially responsible for a lot of the bad passing last year. You can be the most accurate passing QB in the world, but if all you do is dodge defenders, you'll never get consistent passing.

Menard, Santiago, Venegas have started every game we have played this year. Baily started 5 of the 6 games with Rose starting the La Laf game. Venegas is the only one that will graduate.

Peachey played in 4 of the 6 so far. Rose played in only the La Laf and Ark game but has several prior years experience. Brian Carlson has played only in the La Laf game . and one I believe non ship player Troy Kokjohn ( 6-2, 258 Fr from SLC) who played in the SMU game.

Here's the problem now as I see it....Menard, Santiago, Bailey and Venegas (5 players for 2 guard and 2 tackle position have played the greatest majority of plays. The only other experienced player is Peachey to replace Venegas and Rose who can play Guard, Center and Tackle.

Other than Menard, Santiago, Bailey, Peachey and Rose, we have no experienced players returning. Carlson and Kokjohn have played in only one game each this year. That only leaves two squad members whom I believe are non ship , Ajani whose status I am not aware of, Jacob Kaiser and Eloy Atkinson none of which have played in a College game the two linemen committed for this year I believe Franklin will play DT, Atkinson OT..but neither have any college experience. what happens if an injury occurs? Who backs them up.

Depth wise we also have Tomlinson and Johnson who will be redshirt freshman next year. And the big 6'8" kid from Pennsylvania.

Yes we will have them, but neither has played a down of college FB and thus have no experience. They will be needed to sub for the 4 OG and 4 OT positions.

I am working on an analysis for next year on all of positions, based on what we know now. Just don't know how to present it yet.

Oldtimer you're forgetting about Drake

Drake starts and plays center the entire game. Yes he played OL in HS but who is going to play center if he plays OG or OT. If Rose plays center who will play OT/OG....the only other center is Nick Leppo who is a true freshman and not even enrolled at this time.

Face it we have only a couple of really experienced players behind our entire 5 position offensive line.

Not experienced, but Johnson, who is redshirting, is a true center.

      Do I need to go into another rant about how we didn't start our endowment fund until 1974 or 75. It was AGAINST OUR CULTURE TO RAISE OUTSIDE MONIES. When we finally caught on, we were 84 years behind just about everyone else. BUT most of the administrators still didn't want North Texas to change. Around the time that "Jitter Nolan" and Hayden Fry arrived we were the complete opposite of SMU. They loved their money, and we loved our bureaucracy. And that is mostly still true today. SMU resents that they were punished for what just about all the other SWC schools were doing. And that is somewhat valid. But my assessment of what went down starts with the fact that everyone dislikes and/or hates SMU and it culminated with their ham handed, and arrogant, system of paying players. SO, once again, SMU was treated unfairly, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. Just about everyone hated you then.......and pretty much still does.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      That was actually for 2017. I looked at the wrong year... they were 79th for 2018-2019 calendar year. Middle of the pack in the ACC. He makes more than Caponi which I don't like unless we plan on holding on to the ball for 35 minutes per game like Army did this year. https://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/national_ranking?academic_year=2019.0&division=11.0&ranking_period=69.0&sport_code=MFB&stat_seq=28.0

      First College Net Rankings released

      that Jan 5 game is setting up to be super important as it's looking like possibly our only other shot at a Quad 1 win. plus for some of you, it could be a convenient stop on your roadtrip...looks like Memphis is about a third of the way to DC...might wanna get on the road after the game to catch the daytime reunion activities, but either way I'm sure the party will be going well into the night

      Tough Standards at Appy State

      Good point. And I guess that's why ASU only played 11 games....as they had a game with Liberty cancelled.
