might as well let Teagarden play now, does anyone really think Riley will continue to slum at UNT if daddy playcaller is canned,most of his Alamo Heights, Westlake, SLC buddies are gone.

As long as his girlfriend attends UNT, I would guess yes.

What makes you say Canales wasn't calling the plays?

I think TD did once Thompson went down. I'm not sure how much of Chico's playbook Riley knows as a QB since he was a WR. That's just a guess

Because so much of what we see this year is what we saw the last 3 years. 12 carries for your star running back? Really? Who ran the ball the most in the second half - Dunbar or Dodge? You can't convince me that Canales with his experience thinks Riley running the ball is better than a Doak Walker nominee.

so canales came in and gave dodge a new look to call his old plays from?

it looked a lot like last year when thompson went out, but the whole season?

that sir, might be the craziest post i've ever read on this board...and that's a bold statement.

I would have to agree that a lot of the calls looked like last year's offense.

But instead of blaming it on Dodge, I think you might have to consider that with Riley at the helm it really is the skill set that he brings: quick passes to the flat and zone reads. Some roll outs, etc...You can bring Norm Chow in, it doesn't matter. They are going to call what the QB can do.

Having said that, Riley is our QB. Do we have any option right now to stretch the field vertically?

Clemson didn't, I should have stated it a little more clearer. Last week against Rice, on critical 3rd and 2 plays bringing Rodge in and not giving to Dunbar reminds me a lot of Todge calls than Canales.

If today was an indication of our offense moving forward, we are really in serious trouble because my understanding going in was that Army was not good at all vs. the pass.

Interesting "fact".

Good luck the rest of the way.

Army isn't very good. They are better than UNT, but a win v Eastern Michigan doesn't exactly impress. Especially when they squeak it out. Also, Hawaii, they of the not-that-good-team, beat you at home. So it hurts more that we couldn't beat that team.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
