Interesting Marshall is 0-9 against WVU (first game in 1911) and consider them in-state rivals.

The widow of the Marshall coach killed 40 years ago in the team plane crash did the coin toss to start the game. I think they said it was the first Marshall game there she has attended since the crash.

BTW....Houston hosts UTEP after this game on ESPN.

Am I the only one who wanted to puke at the way the announcers were groveling over WV at the end of the game? It seems like every time ESPN cover a BSC conference team versus a non AQ conference team they spend a lot trying to make it sound like the non-AQ schools really don’t deserve to be on the same field as the BSC conference schools.

I really don't know much about UTEP but Houston is mighty solid this year and they were playing at home. It was an outcome that I and I think most outsiders would have expected anyways.

I am not going to disagree.

I was talking about his record in El Paso during November. But, yes, I was pretty riled up based on their (Miners) performance last night.

      Before the season, my measurement of whether UNT had gotten better under Eric Morris was seven wins. I don't want to settle for six. Especially after getting to five as quickly as we did.

      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/
