"Greer completed just one of his first seven pass attempts and tossed two key interceptions".

“We have to improve in the passing game and prepare better,” Greer said. “We didn’t execute the things that we worked all week on.”

Thank you Captain Obvious.

A great bit of "coach speak".

“Neither quarterback played well, but we had protection issues and drops by receivers,” UNT coach Dan McCarney said. “It was really unacceptable and disappointing.”

Drops? The only drops I saw were when they were thowing those sideline passes and the receiver was trying to catch it whilst going to the ground.....wearing two defenders.

The best opportunities for completions were over the middle and all of them were overthrows...by both QB's. The first overthrow was by Greer when Smith was wide open over the middle. Smith is 6'4" BTW. How in hell do you overthrow a wide open 6'4" receiver?

Haha.. You telling me you need to prepare better. Going into Austin with all the hype this game had for us and you are saying you didn't really prepare? Interesting. "We didn't execute the things we worked on all week". Really, you all must have worked on throwing 5-10 yard passes in practice but failed to execute that difficult task! Hilarious

I agree!!! It is hard to understand, while sitting in my recliner eating peach cobbler with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla on top, "how in the hell do you overthrow a wide open 6'4" receiver" against a university team with some of the best athletes/recruits in the country.

sarcasm in case you missed it!

Uhh...that is dumb sarcasm. It is a good question. They had those seams open every time they tried them. They just couldn't hit the receiver once. BYU runs that spread read-option stuff and they will see that on film and will feast on it bc they have a capable QB in Tayson Hill, a QB that can throw the football and run it for that matter. So those nonchalant PA's they do out of shotgun will have meaning behind it. And you better believe that Hill will not miss those wide open guys trotting down the seam.

      They’re all true. It’s complicated.

      Chandler UVA???

      Hope I answered that for you. If they would have just sat him and let his shoulder heal a few weeks then maybe we could have had a deep passing game the last half of the season. I noticed how poorly his play became and yet everyone insisted he wasn't hurt. Mestemaker proved if we had him starting we wouldn't have fallen ass-backwards into a bowl game.

      I hope so because that’s the only way we could possibly be a two big league if they lose in the conference tournament.

      Chandler UVA???

      I'm really struggling to understand the people on here... These aren't exact quotes, but very close, and if I needed to, I could go find each and every one. I just want to get the timeline of events, along with their perceived reactions from many on gmg.com straight: 1. (Around mid-October) "Chandler Morris is going to be the best QB we've ever had!!" 2a. (C Morris announces portal entry) "Oh no! We lost another great QB to NIL$$! We hate the system!" 2b. "Chandler was trending downward since the Tulane game and was basically a shell of himself. We won't miss him." 2c. "Haha, enjoy riding pine and losing at Virginia!" 3. "OH! We got our new QB in Reese Poffenbarger! Did you see what he did at Albany!?!?!? He's going to be great! Forget Chandler Morris!" 4a. "Mestemaker had an amazing game! He's going to be a great QB for us!!! Eric Morris is a QB Whisperer. ...Who's Reese Poffenbarger?" 4b. "We would have won the bowl game if Chandler had played!" 5. "Chandler is not our "problem" anymore!!1!" Please help me. Who is Chandler Morris?

      Memphis (1/5/25)

      Great game where I believe the better team lost. My hot takes: Haggerty shooting 11-14 from the floor including that desperation 3 won't happen again. Newell's two missed FT's late, Walker's late missed layup on the fast break and Wright and Jossell's struggles kept us from winning. I think Memphis, with their athleticism, is a team that Wright will struggle against, but Jossell not hitting some open three's that are uncharacteristic of him. Lorient's missed dunk where they reversed, rightly so, the goal tending call hurt as well. Have to finish at the rim. Massie is just too out of control. As mentioned above, I would rather see his minutes go to Mason or Cotton if he isn't going to improve. Would love to see Walker stop passing up some open threes early in a possession. He has the shot. Memphis is very beatable. Their fans are garbage.
