10-0. UNT should have more points on the board, but they can't put anything together. The offense continues to lack any rhythm, and they haven't been able to run the ball. Would still like to see some different play calling. Fortunatly there have been a couple turnovers in the red zone or they could be losing this game. They really need to get going, this is week 5.

This is one of the worst sequences of football that I have seen. Are we sure dodge isn't still running this thing? 3 1st downs in the red zone after penalties negated two good field goals, and they can't move the ball at all. Actually, they keep moving it backwards. The play calling is atrocious, and so is Thompson.

Play calling wasn't bad. What are you going to do when your qb is having a bad game? Run. When the running game isn't working, what are you going to do? throw. What if both don't work? Throw in a couple trick plays and easy screen/short passes.

Run - no gain

Run - no gain

Pass on 3rd and long

Punt

Repeat.

More than the run/pass, it's the actual plays themselves. Can they not throw a slant to chancellor? Can they not throw more short quick passes, and call plays that don't take forever to develop. I know Thompson is bad but figure something out. This offense needs to be better.

The last slant they tried Thompson stared the receiver down and threw a horrible pick that kept FAU in the game.

If a slant gets picked, it's on the receiver. It's their job to not let the defender get underneath them.

      He got a five year deal. He's made $2.5 million off of us so far. ($1.2m in year 1, $1.3m this year) And I believe he gets $100k more each year. So his next three years....he'll get $1.4m, $1.5m and $1.6m. As I bitched about earlier this year, before I stopped going....he didn't show up for his first radio show, and stayed for half of the next four. And yet he gets a $300k a year stiped for radio/TV (which raises his base salary from the original $900k). Hate to break it to you......he isn't going anywhere..... https://herosports.com/fbs-north-texas-head-coach-eric-morris-career-record-contract-cpcp/#:~:text=Eric Morris agreed to a five-year contract in,total pay in 2023%2C according to USA Today.

      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.
