Lost last night to Div II Henderson St... Not another FCS DI school ( i.e Southland ) but a DII. Henderson plays in same conference with the likes of Arkansas Tech, Southern Arkansas etc

Also

Arkansas scored eight TDs on 20 plays in 1rst half vs. Nicholls St. UA had a 465-55 edge in total yards, and averaged 21.7 yards per carry.

Anything less than a 40 point win would be a disappointment. We can run all day long on them, but I would like to see us throw just about every down in 1st half.... We could use the practice

Nicholls state may be one of the worst sports universities in all of Division 1. They're at or near the bottom of the Southland in almost every sport. Football, as evidenced in this thread, is no exception. We definitely should do whatever we want in this game. Especially on offense.

So we can play Greer, score sixty points on the running game against a vastly interior line, and here from the powers that be that everything is as it should be?

If this happens, Nichols St may be the last game we win this year.

In my opinion, our only goal should be to come out of this game with a starting QB. If I were coach for a qame, I would play DW for 60 minutes and see what we really have. The next week is a bye, so we have time to make adjustments. Bottom line:what we are doing isn't working, and unless we get better play at QB we might as well write this season off. As it stands, I think we are looking at 5&7, maybe worse.

Greer has had plenty of time to show what he has/doesn't have. McNulty has shown what he has. It's time to see what our other options, such as DW, can do. We have to figure out a way to go at least 5-4 the rest of the way. On our current path, I don't see how we get 4 wins out of Indiana, Rice, FAU, UAB, USM, FIU, UTSA, UTEP.

It's not like we have to start slinging it around with DW in the lineup. Let him drive the bus. I doubt he gets more than 20 opportunities to throw, but let's see what he has. Neither Greer nor McNulty have shown any reason to expect that they will produce different results anytime soon.

Mac has the perfect scenario to insert DW into the lineup. Nobody will blame him at this point if for some reason DW does not work out. He can easily point to the first three games as proof that other options needed to be explored. Even if DW fails, it seems to be that Mac would be taking a bigger risk by keeping Greer in at this point.

Or does Mac use this game as an opportunity to let Greer air it out, have some success and gain confidence that can carry over into the rest of the season? I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

Then expect to win a max of 4 games this year.

Honestly, regardless of who starts the excuse for beating them badly will be "it's just Nicholls St".

For those not aware, the Sinclair broadcast of our game against Nicholls State is being picked up by KTXA 21 locally. Just saw it on the DVR guide.

Thanks for the heads up.

Sadly, I will be shocked if Greer doesn't start. Hopefully, if he hasn't shown dramatic improvement by the end of the 1st quarter, we make a change. At some point, the results have to speak or themselves. I hope we don't waste the next 3 weeks.

As it should be. This game will tell us absolutely nothing about our team... regardless of who starts at QB.

Yes, I think we learned quite a bit against latech and need to respond accordingly. This is the ideal situation for UNT to install a few potential gamechangers....because we need a game change...
