Is it time for a Special Teams intervention?

We seem so focused on turnovers that we have forgottten about special teams. I agree with Kram, tired of hearing about coaching experience and past ready for results. We basically GAVE them the ball to start the second half, did not allow our best athlete to return the punts and just can't kick a field goal to help ourselves.

I'm sorry but special teams needs to be priority number UNO! GMG!

Nobody has metioned the Troy almost fake punt. Punter would have easily made it if he decides to run with it. We had nobody within 20 yards, but thankfully he changed his mind.

That might have been a disaster

Kicking is all about confidence. I'm sure him getting benched will do lots of good in that regard(heavy sarcasm). And don't get it twisted, it was Mac's decision to bench him, not Riddles. The fact that you'd rather go for it on 4th and 16 than kick a field goal is so hard-headed. You took 3 chip shot field goals out of your best kickers hands. I don't care if he was 0-2. If you don't have a competent replacement, you should NEVER bench him.

really should have let Olen have the chip shot that the backup missed. Now you have two kickers who are messed up, instead of your started maybe getting some confidence back after an easy one.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
