I did acknowledge the defense did well against Liberty.
Regarding UCF, they allowed 384 rushing yards and 6.7 yards per carry. UCF averaged 247 rushing yards per game and 5.7 per carry. That is concerning.
I'll give you Texas State. 32 given by the defense isn't bad considering TxSt was pretty good on offense this year. Far from a shutdown defense, though.
Worth noting in all of this is Sam Houston is 11th in time of possession. They ran the ball 525 times (30th ranked run offense) and passed 322 times (123rd ranked pass offense). We ran 359 times and passed 521 times. He won't have that benefit unless Morris changes his offensive philosophy.
Texas State had a defensive TD and had 57 fewer yards than their season average, Liberty had a safety, and UCF had a 2-yard scoring drive off a blocked punt.
So even if you count the 2-yard TD off the blocked punt against SHSU's defense, that's 93 points total against 3 top-50 offenses with SHSU's personnel. That's solid TBH.
This is much more like the DC hire I expected EM to make originally. The Caponi choice was confusing to me at the time and is still confusing to me. 🙂
Let's please never go back to being the "coordinator promotion" school where we promote OC's and DC's into head coaches and position coaches into OC's and DC's. Let FCS, CUSA, MAC, and Sun Belt schools be those proving grounds... we need to act and be at a different level.
It is always nice to see UNT as a step-up for a D1 coach ... like when we brought McCasland over from Arkansas St.
