Doesn't surprise me... I think it is a combo of daddy gone and him being forced to play wide reciever next year. Something I don't think he wants to do.

I guess I missed something, why do many think that Dodge could not play QB at NT next year? Based on last year I would have thought he would be the best bet for starter.

he was told he could compete for the starting job, and im sure Canales would push McCarney to start Riley. He was the leader but he would rather transfer FCS to play immediatley then spend another year in Denton.... sounds pretty weak to me

This one shocked me bc I talked to riley before break and he was all about playing qb next year here. Even his high school gf also goes to Unt, but I guess you never know. U was really turning into a Riley fan but te kid wants to play Qb and if it means that he has to play at the FCS then he's gonna do what he wants to do. Best of luck Riley.

I believe that may still be a sensitive choice for words for some around here.

But, it is true. I guess the truth hurts for some people.

He was willing to be a WR when TD was here. And, now he is not.

Do you have a source to back that up?

Yes, he played under his dad last year as a wide reciever. you can look at the participation reports to see that. Or watch the Clemson game. FACT!

And now, he has made it abundantly clear that he wants to play QB. A position he knows he will not have unless we have a similar scenario to last season. FACT!

And Daddy was there last year... Daddy is not here this year. FACT!

What substantiates your assertion that Dodge would not be the lead QB candidate next year? I highly doubt that McCarney or Canales would discourage Dodge after the year he just had. The "fact" is that NT does not have an abundance of quarterback possibilities and I see no reason, unless its related to injuries, that NT would not want Riley back in the QB mix.

So your answer is no.

Try, fact:

Dodge said that he was told by McCarney and offensive coordinator Mike Canales that he would get a chance to play quarterback next season and that a potential position switch and the dismissal of his father had nothing to do with his decision.

“I was planning on staying,” Dodge said. “I know coach McCarney is going to do well and win a lot of games. There was just something that was telling me that it was time to go.”

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      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
