two things...

[Green Crazy]

the first 3 quarters or until mtsu quit was the worst i've seen in my 10 years of watching our games. unprepared (with 4 extra days to prepare), poor game plans, poor play, no adjusting at halftime, etc. this was bad from the top down.

my second observation, i've never seen such a bad game from a single player, that's not a qb as busby had. his day was rough! missed tackles, missed assignments, i think his mind missed the bus to the game. trice wan't much better, by the way. how the hell did they keep getting our safeties manned up on their wr's?

but, we won the second half again!

oh! i totally forgot about the genius (jason garrett like) call of not going for two to make it a 2 posession game at 38 - 24, but, then kickcing an onside kick??? that was laughable!

So what you saw in the first half of today, was WORSE than what you saw in game 1 of Dodge at OU?

We just made MTSU look like OU. That's the premise.

Well that's true, didn't really think of it from that standpoint. It just seemed like to me this team was hung over from their big win last week and was not prepared.

Nowhere as bad as losing 54-2 to Tulsa at home or 77-20 to Rice.

We're a better team than we were at those times and we're better coached than we were then also against far worse competition. Defense was horrible, snaps that were unexpected, bad qb play, not making adjustments ( how many times did they have someone open over the middle) bad preparation, etc. With 4 extra days to prepare! Yes, the OU game and the rice games were horrible, but I'll put the first 2 1/2 quarters against those games that I remember all to well. We were outmatched those games, we played piss poor today. Playing badly is what I was talking about when I started this.

There is some truth to having to learn how to win, and that includes how to react/prepare when coming off a win.

Rice game (2208) was the worst I'd seen in 50 years of watching North Texas. However, yesterday's game made me quit watching for the first time ever as it was very bad.

I was peeking at the game on my phone after our game got boring and out of reach. I thought Dodge was still coaching the team judging from what I was watching yesterday.

It would have been a long shot still, but a two possession game certainly would have given the last 5 minutes a different feel.
