Hell.... I wanna know why we're not talking about the special teams. No kickoffs out of bounds. Not a single block in the back. Atterberry a 54 yard punt into the wind. Regularly kicking the ball inside the 5 on kickoffs with one into the endzone?

That is progress.

No blocked punts. And didn't the announcers from FAU say something about that missed FAU FG attempt being partially blocked. Also, Carey, with a 12 yard punt return. No muffed kick or punt returns. Was Gandy back with the team this week?

Overall the defense had a good game, but they were really shaky at the end with the game on the line. FAU last td was what 3 plays, and they did not exactly shut them down on their last drive. I'm sure I am not the only one that thought here we go again when FAU scored on three plays after NT last td.

I disagree. Looking at the box score...

- UNT takes over at 6:40 left in the game after the TD to bring FAU within 4, 21-17.

- UNT gets 1 first down and proceeds to move backwards from the FAU 39 back to the 50.

- UNT kicks and FAU takes over with 3:30 left in the game. I start to think this is like every other game so far, and a turnover would be a great way for this defense to prove themselves with the game on the line.

- UNT defense intercepts the ball, UNT offense takes over at the FAU 36 with 3:20 left. Just one first down would almost seal the deal.

- FAU burns 2 timeouts and UNT only burns 19 seconds off the clock in 4 downs...

Offense had 2 reasonable chances to put the game away with under 7 minutes left.

2 false start penalties kill both of those drives moving the offense backwards...

Yes, the last drive the defense gave up 50 yds in a hurry, knowing that FAU had to pass. (Were we in Prevent there?)

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
