The one thing he has going for him is the idea that he wouldn't do exactly what he did at the end of an important game. We've all seen him do it before and he's still doing it. What is there that would legitimately make anyone think it won't happen 6 more times this year?

This was a team loss. I will however point out a few things. The defense giving up a big play, period, is unacceptable. The D is also soft in the middle vs the run game. I watched three plays in a row where the D End McCoy didn't shoot his hands butt and separate. Trice can't make an INT and on the same play give it right back. It's carelessness and not giving 100% every down. I actually believe the offense is better so far this year as compared to last year. You can blame this one on the whole team. And yes Thompson threw a pic 6, he also led a couple drives to tie it up. I'm sure they will watch film and the coaches will iron it out but it's about a team this year that has a chance, not the QB and the uniforms.

I thought the D played extremely well tonight, on the road, against a QB on every awards list out there. That first play of the game....ugh.

This game is not on DT. Sure he had a couple of F'ups, but this loss goes on the team as a whole as well as the coaching staff. A couple of the 4th downs decisions were just plain stupid in this game. Tough loss, and now time to play "Ball."

A lot of the issues on offense surround the vanilla play calling and running the ball so many times with no success 37 CAR for 105 total yards out of 3 rb two receivers and the QB. We need more short passes in spaces where the receivers can provide us the yards after the catch. Our positive numbers came from the aerial attack. We just have to keep the throws short and quick and slowly moves the chains.

Not all on DT, but its obvious the pick 6 hurt as bad as the 1st play Idaho copy pass TD. 14 pts right there.

Sorry, but the bottom line is when it came to "crunch time" DT was not up to the task. DT is what DT is/has been

I listened to game on radio, and was uncertain whether it was bad throw or receiver ran wrong pattern. Anyone see the play?

DT's first pick was a little under thrown but with an aware defender just to the left of the passing lane; easy pick.

The game ending one was a desperation attempt to a guy in triple coverage; easily tipped then intercepted.

I don't care how he played against a bad Idaho team. I have never seen someone overthrow the ball this consistently. Bring on Dajon. It wasn't just the QB who crapped the bed.

Don't forget our kicker missed again. Reminded me of Troy last year. McCarney has to change his play calling when our kickers cannot be trusted to do their one job.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Random Thoughts: I remember that on a long bus ride back from Monroe Louisiana you wanted Dickey fired. I agree that Dickey did more with less than any Coach we have had in this Millennium. The 4 Bowl Games in New Orleans, especially the win over Cincinnati, are still among my favorite memories as a fan. If Dickey had dumped Ramon Flanigan very early and replaced him with a competent OC he would have been more successful. I was told that Dodge wanted to keep Defensive Coaches from Dickey's Staff and RV nixed that idea. I have never asked RV if that is true. However, if Dodge had kept the entire Defensive Staff from the Dickey years, I believe he would have been successful.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Kind of my point. I want him to succeed but he's just not made much progress if any at all. Why him but not these other kids? There's no way they can't match his production, he's scored zero points this season.

      Agree. Basketball and has been the better product at UNT for many years now. All eyes/support should be on basketball until Mosley figures out how to field a respectable football program.

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

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.
