Who does he need to throw to? Stone Hands Stafford, Bobble Byrnes, or Can't catch Chancelor?

I realize TD was a bad coach, but it is just shocking to me that we have so little talent at the QB and WR positions after he was here for 3+ years.

Having Outlaw out hurt. Look, in that last drive, we had Casey Shutza and Breece Johnson in. We're thin at WR.

Also, you have to give Breece Johnson props for sticking around. But, he is slow. At other schools, they'd have beefed him up and moved him to tight end or h-back. He doesn't have the speed to play WR at this level.

We need Outlaw back for sure.

I've become a big fan of Ivan Delgado, but hadn't heard his name before last week. It was impressive how high he went to make the catch he did tonight; I think he has a lot of heart.

Yep, without Outlaw the walk-on from Killeen is our best receiver.

Thompson did not look his way multiple times last night when he was VERY open...

I love Thompson, and he's the best we've got, but he does not do a good job at all of looking for check down receivers. If you watch his head he throws it to the only reciever he looks at like 95% of the time. Hopefully this will improve with age. It seems the only time Power gets targeted are on plays drawn up specifically for him.

This may be a poor observation or a captain obvious one but our offense needs to open up. The Indiana game was very encouraging until late. Dunbar had 7 receptions that game. I am not even sure if Dunbar had one ball thrown to him against FAU. Our backs are the best thing we have in our offense its time to move them around and get some new looks.

Our OL kept Thompson up so if the running game stalls we need to get the ball around... 3-4 yd passes are just as good as a run.

Don't understand why they don't use Power more often, thought that's what he was recruited for. Where was the Wildcat (or Hambone) last night?

It was very obvious that FAU did an excellent job of scouting NT. Plays that worked against Indiana didn't work against FAU. They almost completely took away the short pass game and is the norm keyed on Dunbar and completely stopping him till late in the fourth.

NT just does not have any receivers other than Bynes who are close to being even average at the college level. Thompson didn't have a good game but on the other hand he didn't make any big mistakes either. The coaching staff plays it very conservative and who to say that didn't win the game. Those calling for long passing and such, apparently didn't see what sunk FAU.

      UC Davis to MWC

      SAC St. should eventually get an invite from either the MWC or PAC 7. The Montana and Dakota schools seem happy in 1AA and the cost to move up is high when you add the NCAA $5 million upgrade fee, $2 million entry fee[ MWC] , 20 football scholarships, and stadium expansions to accommodate at least 25,000 fans. NDSU has a covered stadium that seats about 20,000 ( I didn't check the other 5 Dakota schools) so they might get a pass.

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.
