Break-out Performance Next Weekend

Here's a fun, hopefully harmless exercise to keep us busy this week.

If we win against FAU, suppose it is because some player has heard the call, felt the love, and risen to the occasion (please feel free to insert other sports cliches). Who will it be?

Cam was the guy against Ball State; He shoulda been it against Ohio; I'll say Tune against Alabama cause he wung it out there 23 times without a pick; I'd say Akpunku for Middle Tennessee cause of the pressure he brought (3TFL, 1 sack, and a FF); and no doubt Dunbar for LL.

If we win against FAU? I'll go with Royce Hill cause he is due to take something to the house this time, whether it's an interception or return.

Any other thoughts on who we'll be praising next week?

Or, conversely, if you want: should we lose another heart-breaker in the last seconds again, which poster will have a break-out performance on the boards the next day? Most F-bombs completed? Knee-jerk calls for firing Bataille for a loss? etc.

We have never beaten a Florida school and I like to think this sets up perfectly to break that trend.

I am with Lonnie: BJ shows us what the Green Gang was raving about in practice.

Royce will represent ST or Defense well (he is already!) by getting a TD: pick 6 or return....or both?! :)

Nothing but wishful thinking in this thread: I needed it!

Riley needs to step-up to the plate and deliver a clean game, meaning 0-1 turnovers, or else there should be a nice piece of pine, while Tune or Baine get a chance to run the offense.

I'll go with Craig Robertson. I see a interception, fumble, or blocked kick return for a TD in his future.

As far as blow up if we lose, I'll go with Lifer or Kram. Hey, it has to happen sometime, right? :D

Schnellenberger's offense will focus on the TE sets alot. There are 5 TE's on FAU's roster, with these 3 that play:

Senior TE Jason Harmon, 6-3, 215, is a highly ranked TE.

Senior Rob Housler, 6-5, 215, (Converse Judson HS)

Senior Jamari Grant, 6-5, 215

Defense- becasue the TE play is a focus of FAU's offense, my break out player for this

game will be Safety DaWaylon Cook.

Offense- The FAU secondary has new starters, and could be FAU's weak point to attack.

My break out player on offfense will be WR Darius Carey.

The entire team needs to have a break-out performance. They have improved to the point where they can stay in the game with most...now they need to figure out how to win and/or how to blow someone out. If they play to their potential, they can do it.

Are you sure? We beat FIU in 2005 13-10 and again the next year 25-22.

We also hold a 1-0 series advantage over the University of Florida

The playbook has went sailing right over his head this year

Fact is...in the discussions pro and con, and it might not make one bit of difference...The playbook is actually 21 years old.

We also beat Tampa in '66, and Pensacola Naval Air Station in '59. Hell, with the exception of Schnellenberger, we practically own Florida. :lol: Time for Howard to pay his Mean Green dues!

I just blew Natural Light out my nose. How in the world didn't you make the top ten?

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick

      Especially in the age of the portal, it doesn't take long to build a good team. ECU was 2-10 last year and will probably be 8-4 now.

      Littrell’s UNT contract ended Jan. 31, 2024, so UNT shouldn’t have been paying him for quite some time.
