Hey sport, where did you read that I'm a basketball fan first?
To set the record straight, I AM A NORTH TEXAS FAN FIRST! Football has always been my favorite sport, with basketball a close second.
Capece?
Tulane and UNT were the only AAC schools to lose their starting QBs for the bowl. That's the difference. Mestemaker played a great game. I think a *healthy* Chandler Morris wins the game. That's just me. Mestemaker made great plays for sure but there were also several deep misses early on. Before the Coleman TD, he was 3/8. He found his groove then sputtered some then picked things up again. I hope he stays and I'd love to watch him start next season.
On the flip side, we played a 25 year old QB who started all year for Texas State (edit). There's no substitute for experience and continuity.
I don't think this loss indicates in any way we're stuck in neutral. I think it shows how well this staff identifies and develops offensive talent. To compete in your bowl, you either need a senior QB, a loyal QB, or to get very lucky like we did with Mestemaker.
