does anyone know who DaWaylon Cook beat out to be starting? We need major help at that position.

Yeah...had the worst game of any NT player by far...he just seemed to be struggling mightily out there. And, yes, the pursuit angles were bad. What are our other options there?

Anyone notice at the 1:46 mark the referee give the Clemson player a "butt pat". Biased refs again! :unsure:

After watching that first big run for the TD at the 00:50 mark, Clemson #55 looks to be holding our player who effectively couldn't finish wrapping up and making the tackle. He still should have wrapped up better to tackle the RB at the line. But the Umpire is right there scared out his butt because he knows he's about to get squashed and can't make any call? The ref then effectively blocked two of our guys, Robertson and Cook? So the more I look at this play, it looks more and more as just a bad break.

Roberson was held on the long touchdown run to start the game, but it appeared most of our players over-pursued the play and provided the cutback lanes.

Cook had a bad game, but will be one of our better defensive players by the end of the year.

The tackle at the 4:14 mark was by James Hamilton.

Guys, we were playing Clemson, not U-LaLa. When you play a team with speed, it tends to expose you in many areas.

I'm already on record saying we'll win 9 or 10. But, I never said we'd beat Clemson. Rice doesn't have Clemson size or speed...or coaching. If we lose to Rice...then complain about "pursuit angles" and "overrunning plays" and whatnot.

I'm just glad they didn't blow us out. To me, it's a sign the that corner is turned. We've gone from a 79-10 opener in 2007, to playing Clemson pretty tough and holding them under 40. Have we held a BCS conference school under 40 since Dodge has been here?

No. We haven't held a BCS school under 40 points since September 25, 2004 in Waco, Texas when the Baylor Bears beat us 37-14.

The defense has made progress. You might not like to admit it, but they have. Recognize what is happening. We are better. This battle station is fully operational!

      Quick Thoughts: Army Shuts Down North Texas

      Indeed, it seemed at times like North Texas wanted to out-Army the Black Knights. The Mean Green attempted a minimal number of deep shots, settling instead for short throws that resulted in a bare 5.8 yards/pass. They also went for it 5 separate times on fourth down, converting 3 attempts in impressive fashion. In taking what Army’s defense gave them, their first drive went a whopping *18* plays in just under seven minutes. That was great in concept, but as noted, Army only gave up a field goal off that first drive. The Black Knights then countered with their own 9-play drive that went for a touchdown, followed by a 14-play drive that netted no points but ate up damn-near the rest of the first half. When the Mean Green’s first possession of the second half went three-and-out, it meant that they’d held the ball for all of 38 seconds in the third quarter. Their offense sat on the sidelines for over thirty minutes of real time! North Texas did a nice job countering Army’s triple-option, forcing an interception, a fumble, and a punt. They kept Army’s explosive plays in check, making the Black Knights earn it one play at a time. However, they ultimately gave up 4.6 yards/carry. That final tally didn’t do a lot to get Army off the field. The Black Knights wound up going an outstanding 9/14 on third down and 3/3 on fourth down. With that, they held the ball for almost 42 minutes total. Time of possession might not be the be-all, end-all of college football, but when the other team is holding the ball, and they’re also scoring touchdowns, it becomes a problem. North Texas couldn’t get off the field on defense, and they also couldn’t score. By comparison, Army’s defense forced exactly one punt, but they stood tall in the red zone three times, once with an amazing goal line stand that started at their own 1-yard-line and twice by generating interceptions from something like 10 yards out. read more: https://www.asforfootball.com/2024/11/10/quick-thoughts-army-shuts-down-north-texas/

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      Agreed. You could clearly see the ball in hand cross before the knee hit the ground in my opinion. The only issue I can see is "the camera isn't exactly on the line." Game changing call but with 3 more downs from the 1, should it have mattered this much if the offense is truly elite? I don't know what's more frustrating: the call or that the offense was exposed? And to add, not only does the ball just need to break the plane, it can break it and then go back out. Live play is essentially ended once the plane is broken. Seeing where his body was and the video review shown on TV, I don't know how you don't rule that a touchdown.
