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.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
