Plenty of blame to go around, starting with the BOR and AD.

Don't complain about the play calling, complain about DT who keeps throwing it to the other team.

I ove that people are jumping on DT. Simply shows how silly our fan base is. Yes, he threw a pick six. Tell me what should he have done there? A) Call a ridiculous screen pass when everyone i

We have become one dimensional due to our DOA running game, so placing blame on DT, who just brought us back for the tie, is a little uncalled for. Chico runs hot and cold for whatever reason.

To be fair.... that might have been his worst pass of the day.

Very true. We pass block but we don't run block. We had strong symptoms of that last year even though we got some yards, but this OL is just not powering anyone out of the way and creating lanes. Derek gets plenty of blame too. Disappointing.

I was on my phone earlier,

Yet again our offense shows itself consistently inconsistent.

I am very ready for a new Offensive Coordinator.

DT is what he is, one of those things is inaccurate. There were some great catches made today, especially early in the game. DT did seem to find a way to bring the ball down some. Maybe his arm was getting tired like a pitcher late in the game. ;)

We don't have a running game because no one respects DT so they stack everyone in the box. We have a terrible QB there's no sugar coating it.

Burned them long just about every time we tried today.

We just don't try very often at all. That is coaching and not DT's fault.

And that last TD pass was a duck, but it was a duck because DT got leveled as he was throwing the ball.

We don't have another QB that could take that hit and deliver the ball down field like that. He saw the receiver breaking open and knew he was gonna get hammered there. The problem is, if he showed the same patience on the first and second possession of the game we score easily and start the game 14-0.

I still question the QB draw on 4th and 1 from the shotgun. That was so Dodge-like it made me want to puke!

If there is no fear of the QB then it's east to stack up the line and stop the run

There is no fear because they know we will ran on EVERY 1st down in the 1st and 2nd quarter, and the seldom times that we pass, it will be a bubble screen, screen, or a dump to the running back. We won't throw vertical.

We refuse to even try. Easiest team in America to game plan against.

Tulane was blitzing often on 3rd down, daring DT to beat them passing. They read the book on this offense, play the run 1st, and make them beat you in the air. Sometimes DT plays above it and the team wins, sometimes he plays in their favor and NT loses. I don't blame him solely, but his pick 6, and numerous bad throws in key situations can't be overlooked.

Next week he'll probably play like a world beater. This is just how it is...

If the coaches didn't put DT in 3rd and long situations early in just about every road game, DT would be more successful. He is not Johnny Manzel and never will be, but the coaches are not maximizing his talent.

Hard to be successful when the defense knows what you are going to do 80 to 90 percent if the time .

So what does that tell you about DT? He should make those throws. He's an FBS starting QB for 3 years. You make them you win.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      Bowl Tailgating

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.
