Boutwell, McCoy, Mason, Horton, and Q. Brown are all injured and out of spring ball; which means Abbe, Lincoln, Bellazin, Polk, Roberts, Dilonga, Watson, Wallace, and Haboul have to get a ton of reps.

Did he say "Zero Wallace"? Anybody know the story behind that?

Good input on the D-line. Not tremendously encouraging, but it provides a pretty honest assessment.

He did. Perhaps it has to do with effort and he's championing ol'Calvin to stop being a zero and become a hero.

purely speculation on my part.

That's kind of what I was guessing too. . . . "If you want us to call you Sir, you're gonna have to earn it."

Is Boutwell injured? Why didn't Mac mention him when talking about interior D-Line guys he saw (he only mentioned Lincoln & Abbe)?

Yes Boutwell is out. Which is a good thing we can't afford to lose him and we know what he can do.

Alex Lincoln is our best defensive lineman. It's a shame we don't get to see him at end more, but we need him on the field as much as possible this year.

What is your assessment of Wallace. I've been pretty impressed with him...especially since he was so disappointing last fall.

No. 90 had surgery to repair a dislocated knee cap over Thanksgiving. He has rehabed and is able to go. He is participating in all drills but is held out of the team scrimmage segments.

Sorry I saw him dressed out but not participating in the scrimmage I saw last Wednesday or Saturday. Glad to hear he is ok!

I'm excited to see him play possibly more at defensive end this year. He deserves it since it is his senior year after all.

Has to work on mobility and quickness but he has some tools. That first step off the ball is critical at this level and he has to improve that, but he has natural size and is fiery. Two things that can't be taught.

Needs to be more consistent as well. Been known to have good days here and there but also been known to have some complete no shows.

We need him for depth. The good news is that he is a redshirt freshman.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Yeah, you’re right. We should just accept and settle for mediocre teams and embarrassing coaching performances on a national stage. That shows our undying loyalty for the program and we should just shut up and stay out of it. NT being “our” team doesn’t mean we can’t voice our displeasure over the absolutely disgusting performance. UTSA does not have near the resources we have and yet they beat us because we have poor leaders who make tons of money and provide terrible results both on and off the field. And I could give two shits about getting to another crappy bowl game against a crappy opponent. That’s what they hope this Caponi firing will do, take our eyes off the embarrassment in San Antonio and 5 straight game losing streak. Get ready for it. The well staffed propaganda machine will be demanding we recognize and appreciate what an amazing accomplishment another six win bowl team is.

      Morris should not be allowed to interview for the DC position. We need to have someone who understands the defense to ask the right question. Could we ask Orr to do the interviews for us?

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.
