What Will It Take To Turn 2-10 Into 10-2 ?

[NT80]

Yes, 8 more wins ...what else? One or two more recruiting classes, more JUCOs, more defense, more fans, less OUs, new stadium, logo on helmet??

I'll take all the above, thank you!

Two more recruiting classes, look for the 2009 season. Then we can roll in to our brand new Stadium in 2010.

Someone is going to say that a new DC will do it. Oops! I just said it.

Well if not a DC, a defensive scheme that works.

I believe that if we had any defense, a kicker, and a few less costly turnovers, we'd have won at least a couple more games. QB's usually throw less interceptions as they mature, get used to the system in which they are playing. So I believe the latter will work itself out as Vizza makes better decisions, becomes more comfortable.

Having to go for it on 4th down instead of getting 3 points, kicking off, and winning the field position game, really killed us this past year. I don't think people realize how important a good kicking game can be.

As for defense, who knows.

Ark State, SMU, Navy, and FAU were all there for the taking- we just blew it. Finish those games and we're 6-6 with a new coach, new system. Not great, not terrible... and certainly easier to take than a 2 win season. Plus that puts SMU winless.

I think we should have played ULL closer. Despite our turnovers, we were still in that game late. The defense gave up too many big plays.

Troy just whipped us. MTSU whipped us in the second half.

OU, Ark... we just got out manned, out coached- out everythinged. We're a couple years away from surprising one of these caliber teams.

And FIU, ugh. Only thing I can figure is they wanted to avoid losing (for a second straight winless season) more than we wanted to win that game.

I think our offense will be to the point where we can win 7-8 games next year, but our defense will have to improve significantly for that to come to fruition. Otherwise, it's gonna be another sub-.500 effort.

Current offense and a slightly above average Defense (Top 50).

This is something that was not pointed out enough during the year. It killed us all year long.

Great point. And we have yet to lock up a kicker.

[gangrene]

Scheduling 12 home games against Utah State (I think we can beat them 10 out of 12 games).

Atlanta locked up a quarterback....LOL.

During my college career, a 6 pack and a couple of shots always turned a "2 @ 10" into a "10 @ 2!"

[untbowler]

For our sake it better not take until 2010.

The major change will come when certain coaches have the cajones to admit their schemes did not work this season and will be willing to adjust and deviate from their gameplan as needed.

Also a kickass recruiting class this year will also help and so far it is looking good.

A New DC and changing back to the old green.....yip, that will just about do it.

[meangreen2018]

Well, Illinois went from 2-10 to 9-3 in one year under the same head coach and beat some good teams like #1 Ohio State and #18 Wisconsin.

[UNTFan23]

The Western Athletic Conference according to some.

Well, it wasn't just the fault of our kicking game, as our offense was pretty stellar at backing up once it got in the redzone.

[yyz28]

Defense and another year of offensive improvement. Close.

[houstonmeangreen]

Replace our current DC with someone worth a *&%&*. Recruit speed on defense. Get started on the new stadium ASAP.

We could play all Div III teams

[UNT_playmaker]

Mendoooooza would still find ways to lose those game as well.

FIU in my eyes is a DIV 2 team....

I still can't get over the fact we gave up 40 to FIU and they had a new QB who never snapped a ball before..

That will be year 3 of "Dodge's recruits".

2008: 4-8, 5-7

2009: 6-6, 7-5

2010: 8-4, 9-3
