Give us a summary of what he says, if you don't mind.

And to respond to your sig, it forces the defense to show itself before the play is called.

Will do , I recorded it . Host talked a lot about the Ball State game and how it will be on ESPNU thursday night.

Dodge says , in a nutshell : " 2 a days went great , team has a different feel , excited to be on tv , we have 150K alumni in dfw & student body of 30k and hopes everyone will start to jump on the bandwagon "

Went on to talk about Riley , how he expects him to be a distributor of the ball , but not to put all the pressure on himself.

Talked about Bama game and facing former QB Greg McElroy..how Greg has had to wait his turn and that the game will be surreal. Co host mentioned that the Bama vs UNT game will be on the SEC network

Announcer who will be doing the thursday's game : Says Dodge's have tremendous pressure and have a difficult task ahead with Ball State. Co host says Riley would have been one of top QBs out of high school if only a few inches taller.

In response , it also gives the D time to adjust

How well has it worked? Do all spread teams do this?

To first question: I don't know, but I don't blame the no-huddle for 21 losses in 2 years.

To second question: I imagine there are spread offenses that do not use a no-huddle, but they usually do.

Thanks!

In response to your response, hopefully things will get quicker. Riley knows the system, and I imagine they will be trusting him to audible at the line by his sophomore or junior year. Regardless, with the no-huddle, the offense chooses when to snap the ball--they can change the play to counter whatever adjustment they see the defense make and have time to do so that they wouldn't otherwise have.

It might not be that exciting to watch a time taking signs from the sideline, but I don't know that it's all that much more exciting to watch them huddle, is it?

I get tired of watching it. I would be okay if they did it some, but just not every play.

Riley doesn't have the arm to play anywhere, just ask anyone who has recently seen a scrimmage or two, so it was more than size.

Just saw the re-air of the iterview. I have seen quite a few of the interviews and this was one of the best by far. TD seems upbeat about the team this year and seems to be taking Rodge along slowly so as not to overexpose him too early. Todge stated that he thinks that we have quite a few playmakers on offense for Rodge to distribute to. The announcers really talked Rodge up. They also stated that the Mean Green fans expect alot from the team this year. It is really great to hear NT talked about on a national sports network and not just local tv.

I just learned today(thanks Shutter) that ESPNU was added to the XTRA package on DirecTV. This means that alot more people will now have access to ESPNU and quite a few more households will be able to see NT on Thursday night. My college sports pants are going crazy now that I can watch ESPNU.

Agree, and if the constant adjustments to defense worked so well we would have more success down the field scoring against every opponent. The spread is not the "new" gimmick offense it was 5-7 years ago, teams know how to defend it. The new gimmick offense now is the "wildcat".

Great, I just wish the local TV guide listings had ESPNU in them, most don't. The DMN TV guide has no quick-glance listing for ESPNU or that the NT game is even on Thursday night. Only if you see it in the newspaper sports section TV listings would you know it is broadcast.

I must have mentioned that the BSU game was on tv to 30 some odd people since Sunday and NO ONE had a clue. And to make it worst, all basic and the level just above basic Charter cable customers must order ESPNU which is Channel 287, and that is what I hope happens considering it only cost $5 to buy it.

It's on the guide for AT&T in Dallas.

You should just skip work and come watch with us.

Yeah, that's what I had to do over here in WFW. You have to order the "Sports View" package, which gets you 3 regional FSN's, ESPNU, and ESPN Classic, CBS College Sports, and a 3-4 more spare channels.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Morris should not be allowed to interview for the DC position. We need to have someone who understands the defense to ask the right question. Could we ask Orr to do the interviews for us?

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.
