"North Texas … The North Texas offense moved well on Middle Tennessee, but 13 penalties and five turnovers were way too much to overcome. The running game has to be established over the last month. Jamario Thomas is a good back who isn't getting nearly enough work. He ripped off a 77-yard touchdown dash right away, and finished with 89 yards. That's inexcusable. The defense, for the most part, didn't do a bad job considering MT put 48 points on the board.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I think it means if the offense hadn't given Muts 5 turnovers then their score would have been much lower, that it wasn't all the defense's fault. Valid to some extent but the D still allowed a backup QB to march the team up and down the field in the second half without much resistence. Special teams whiffed also.

Craddock isnt exactly a back up...Dasher got a chance to play when Craddock was hurt early in the year and has earned his time b/c of his versatility. Most felt Craddock was the second best QB in the Belt behind Hughabook when the season started.

Five turnovers killed us and forced the defense out on the field WAY too much...quick scoring drives and three and outs didn't help much either. I agree with CFN...I thought the D played well and actually adjusted throughout the game...Green and Agbottah bit on one double move early and MTSU tried it again later and Kartay should've had a pick.

It could mean that the Defense played very well considering the following:

1) Offensive turnovers put our defense in some field position holes.

2) We held MTSU to several 3 and outs.

3) Our defense was on the field for a long time with their backs against the wall and still played well.

4) Of those 48 points, 17 can be attributed to Special Teams miscues.

haha, yes our offense did score 4 for them...kind of like making a basket on the wrong goal! OOPS! Maybe we should have blocked their flyers on punt so the ball would roll into the end zone instead of having the ball at the 6 inch line!

Oh don't get me wrong, the special teams mistakes definately led to those 4 points. But the blocking is what scored them (I guess others will also cite play calling on one of them).

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
