Great game for La Tech. Should help them recruit DFW better. Sonny Dykes is a great coach but I wonder how much longer he'll be there.

From Chuck Carlton:

Heart of Dallas, a charitable group taking over TicketCity Bowl, confirms La. Tech will play Army at Cotton Bowl Stadium on Sept. 28, 2013.

Just 2 straight seasons of success still a bit premature for La Tech to be "doing Dallas" for a game that would draw more in Shreveport. DFW is getting inundated with way too many out of state schools playing in our venues, but many will still play before many empty seats unless they are of Big 12 or SEC pedigree

I am not sure the Bulldogs keep their coach after this season, but I do think they should be in the Top 25 now or soon beings that Baylor was ranked #25 the week after they squeaked by ULM and then fell out of the rankings after their West Virginia loss.

IMO, we future CUSA'ers need to pull for all our present and future conference mates to get Top 25 rankings because that will mean we will have to work harder to get more recruits who can get us our first Top 25 ranking since the late 70's.

GMG!

PS: I am not worried one iota about our recruiting against La Tech. We have things with our campus and athletic venues that they don't have and most likely won't have for quite awhile. Not at the top of the list but how many realize Denton has almost 28,000 co-eds who attend both of its universities?:)

GMG !!

      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.
