Haven't seen this anywhere, but I heard from one of the Dads at last Saturdays practice that Dylan has left the team due to re-occurring injuries. Our DL depth just got a little shallower. Best of luck, Dylan. We never got to know ya.

Well, he doesn't appear on this most current roster.......

To add a word of encouragement, the guys that are out there are practicing their asses off. I continue to be very impressed with how Mr. Wallace moves. He explodes off the line and he's a couple of yards in before anyone slows him down.

The DE's are the most impressive group. They all FLY off the line. And most of the time they are step for step with Bergland (and some of the RB's) when they try to take it around end.

Got to sign DTs. Every year.

If there is a downfall to the McCarney regime, it will be because the defensive line cannot stop the run or rush opposing QBs with any consistency.

Alabama wins with an un-sexy offense. Ditto LSU. Their lines are outstanding.

The quarterback race is nothing. The games are won and lost in the trenches.

There is some upside, though...because most of the C-USA is not the old Sun Belt, the competition level really won't change as much as we thought it would. So, we've got that going for us.

Or you could follow the La. Tech plan and just try and outscore your opponent.

But this head coach is never going to do that.

There is a very real possibility that we end up with an Alabama type offense to go along with a La. Yech type defense.

Since rv has made us such a heavy weight in college football we can demand that the conference do a North Texas rule (ie. think Boise St) where since we have to rely on our offense practically we can just say the rule that states "Make-it-take it" is in effect when we play.

How many sacks did LSU and Alabama have against North Texas as opposed to North Texas against LSU and Alabama?

I'm starting to expect that Wylie Reinhardt will be moved to defensive tackle shortly after arriving on campus this summer.

We were able to flip him from Texas State on the pitch that he'd play tight end here, rather than o-line. But he has a defensive player's mentality if you look at how nasty he is blocking on his film, plus he was athletic enough to play tight end.

A redshirt year would do wonders for him, but we might have to throw him in the fire immediately because of our depth, or lack thereof.

OK, according to RV (in an off-handed comment to me) we're about four D-linemen down this spring because of injuries, but we will have them ready this fall. Besides Boutwell and possibly Sarge, who are we missing this spring, and who will be ready for the fall?

Abbe, Boutwell(was DE), Lincoln(was DE), Orr (was DE), Sir Calvin.

And we're hoping our one DT signee for 2013 qualifies but he double signed incase he doesn't which is never a good thing. If we lose Abbe or Boutwell in the fall we might be toast.

I don't know. How many?

You can play a fun numbers game. But, I'm not pretending that either Alabama or LSU (or Kansas State, for that matter) put everything in against us. The national powers go vanilla against schools they know can name their score against.

Besides, I know you're not saying you wouldn't trade Alabama or LSU's defensive line for ours. They wouldn't trade theirs for ours no matter what stats showed in our games against them.

Our defensive line is thin in depth and small. This coaching staff has signed three classes and none have improved our defensive line.. If schools still run at will and keep their quarterbacks upright, we'll have yet another losing season - no matter how vanilla Georgia goes against us.

Any idea what injuries he has suffered? He had a great game in the HS All-Star game he participated in, and then had his redshirt year last year. When, how and what did he injure?

We have had defensive line problems for a while. Since that problem was supposedly addressed, we have had 2 head coaches and 3 defensive coordinators. To hopefully rectify that problem, Dodge and or Deloach hired a new and supposedly seasoned defensive line coach who has served with the 2 head coaches (Dodge and Mac) and 3 defensive coordinators (Deloach, Bowen, and Skaldany) What might the common denominator be in the problem now? Hmmm.

Same dude that made us all scratch our heads when he moved our most productive DE, Eddrick Gilmore, to DT in his first year here?

Lost just about all confidence in that guy when he did that.

But, Nelson is Mac's guy. He ain't going anywhere.

Sounds like we could use someone from the OL to cross the line and do the switch over ASAP. The odds are that we will have more DL injuries, and we could run out of experienced bodies pretty quickly.

This. Hello Micah Thompson.

I'm not disagreeing that defenses win games and championships but Alabama had a very sexy offense to go with an outstanding defense. A.J. McCarron had the highest rating (175.28) of all of the regular quarterbacks. Bama also had a couple of the best running backs in the country to go along with them. A bad defensive line may lose some games but they can't win any unless they're running fumbles in for touchdowns. You still need a relatively good offense to win games.

Alabama's offense is amazeballz, but I don't think "sexy" can be associated with it.

Dominating OL and NFL RBs. That's old school , not sexy.

Will this be an increasingly common occurrence going forward?

With the growing knowledge of long-term injury impact for football players, will guys be advised by their families to cut their college careers short (1) when the pros aren't in the future and (2) the family can afford to pay tuition themselves (especially if 2-3 yrs was already paid for)?

It seems a trend of this sort would certainly hit a program like ours more prominently where on field success has been hard to come by.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      basically heading into December, I think this is a pretty good way to look at the league, KenPom through 12/1 games in (): Tier 1 - Memphis (31) - I know everyone will be quick to point out their collapse last season...I suppose it could happen again, but this team looks built different. they'll head into December ranked while presumably no one else will even receive a vote. Tier 2 - UNT(66) ; Wichita State (88) - both schools have quality wins over Big 10, WCC, A-10 and MVC schools...nothing really to blink at too much in their losses. Tier 3A - Rice (164) ; East Carolina (123) - call this the over-achieving tier. Rice has a good win now over ASU...hung tough with Florida State. ECU has yet to play an actual road game and their loss looks pretty mid, but 7-1 is 7-1 so far. Tier 3B - FAU (105) ; UAB (137) - call this the under-achieving tier. FAU look like Memphis last season...a solid collection of talent that isn't playing as a team...case in point, they went 52-26 to lose by 2 to FGCU. I don't know what to make of UAB. still, despite early struggles, both these will be tough Ws Tier 4 - Temple (114) ; South Florida (138) - both just look solid if unremarkable. both have some testers in December and it'd be a big benefit to the conference if they can pick up some good wins. Tier 5 - Tulane (226) ; Charlotte (204) ; Tulsa (215) ; UTSA (263) - there's very little to like here. nothing approaching a quality win and each with some pretty bad loses. I almost just made a separate tier for UTSA, but I'll be kind for now since the resumes here all look so similar. UTSA goes to Cali to play St. Mary's Tuesday and then to Fayetteville for ranked Arkansas on Saturday (who made their schedule?)...so once they get drubbed by 30 in each, maybe they'll earn their own tier

      SMU got the death penalty because they were incredibly stupid back then. When the NCAA announced new cheating rules in 1985 that included the death penalty as the most severe potential punishment, SMU responded by phasing out payments to players instead of ending them immediately. At least one of those players got kicked off the team and spilled the beans in a TV interview. Now SMU thinks it deserves revenge because it was told not to piss on an electrified fence and did it anyway.

      SMU's upturn started two years before NIL opened up. The biggest key is the free transfer rules amd the strategy to go after local players at top programs to come home for more playing time, to help out baby momma, etc. NIL definitely amped it up. But we aren't money whipping alone. We have a big time payroll but we aren't in the A&M/Ohio St/etc universe. The money just removes the golden handcuffs of under the table money that was keeping them at top programs (especially OL and DL). ACC membership is huge too. UNT could be running some of this playbook, BTW. More than enough DFW players looking to get on the field.

      Running game

      Yeah, but the guy has been coaching at Incarnate Word and North Texas… That’s not exactly Georgia and Alabama. Almost all coaches would be below .500 against FBS competition at Incarnate Word and North Texas. Especially operating under the rule sets Eric Morris has been operating under with the resources at his disposal. Unless something crazy happens, he is going to get three seasons. You might as well enjoy the ride. A bowl victory this year followed by an 8 or 9 win season and Morris is suddenly looking pretty good. You guys are turning off the movie before finding out if the good guy wins.

      The players control the Branding it seems…. then they leave us behind.
