Here are five quick thoughts following UNT’s 49-24 loss to Indiana:

1. Dajon Williams still has some growing to do

The redshirt freshman quarterback sent expectations way of of whack by accounting for five touchdowns in a 77-3 win over Nicholls State. He looked a whole lot more like a redshirt freshman against Indiana, throwing for 205 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions.

Understatment much... UNT has a few issues in defense. A few? That might be pushing it. And Dajon looked pretty good. Why does Brett seem to lack faith in Dajon? Just curious.

Vito's the king of the "subdued opinion."

Dajon did look like a redshirt Freshman, but he also looked like a playmaker who grew into the role over the course of the game. He does have some growing to do, which is to be expected, but he is obviously our answer at QB.

Vito is right. DW is the best we have, but will be inconsistent, like most RS freshmen. Lets just hope he stays healthy (lord forbid he get hurt) and works on mechanics and becomes more consistent as the year continues.

Vito's a huge dajon fan. Dajon needs to make less bad decisions, but all in all he didn't do that bad.

I can't be too mad at DW - those were mistakes, and huge ones. But he's also still growing. Now, if he's doing the same things next year or the years after, then we'll have a whole other opinion of him. Lots of potential, I hope it gets refined.

As a former FB assistant once said" potential means you ain't done shit yet". Vito was very kind as we lost to a very mediocre team and like LaTech made them look much better than what they are. Mac and staff had extremely poor preparation for having an open date!!!

We are young, and not that great. Indiana is beatable. Not by the group we have right now. Last years squad? Maybe that team wins today. This team has a lot of holes. Not big, fast enough. Indiana ain't bad though. 6 wins is gonna be tough.

This years team should not be included in the same sentence as last year's team. Last year ---grit,fire, and determination. This year---give up, no pride, check it in early. Do you miss DT as a leader yet?

No, I miss Orr's and Trice's leadership

5 things I took away from this game.

1. Dajon, a RS freshman starting against a Big 10 school on the road, looked better at the end of the game than at the beginning of the game. He could have folded but didn't. He kept his composure. I'll be excited to watch him for next 4 years.

2. As the recievers get on the same page with the QB, the passing game could be really good.

3. Our defense must jell quickly if we are to make a solid bowl run.

4. I would like to see more of our speed backs. Evans had 1 carry for 7 yards.

5. Our best football is ahead of us.

I don't think I saw a single mention on here all day about how badass Antoinne Jimmerson played. I know many on here aren't huge fans because he dances a lot in the backfield, but dude made plays today. 119 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches. Dude was making plays. O-line did a solid job blocking for him too.

With the offense molded around Dajon, we're probably going to see less Pegram and more of Jimmerson, Wilson, and some Evans and Ivery sprinkled in. Pegram left some yards on the field because he doesn't have the acceleration of the other guys. He'll still get the ball under center and in short yardage, but in the gun playing more in space those other guys are better fits.

News flash everyone! This was a rebuilding year. Say it out loud...RE-BUILD-ING. Maybe you're new here! This is a G5 team. The lowest returning starters in the country (especially key areas) team. They are trying, learning, fighting.

They just aren't good enough...yet. Deal with it. Expectations are bs.

While this may be true, show me who's left on our schedule who's not at least a 14 point underdog to this "mediocre team."

They are not mediocre by G5 standards. I dare say they would be in position to win any G5 conference.

Jimmerson made plays because he STOPPED DANCING. He made a quick decision, took that one cut and ran down hill. Which is what he does when he is effective. Dance at the second level to make a DB miss in space, not behind the LOS where everyone is packed in. I hope he keeps it up. That one cut and run like hell approach will get him a ton of yards.

News flash everyone! This was a rebuilding year. Say it out loud...RE-BUILD-ING. Maybe you're new here! This is a G5 team.

NEWSFLASH: The fact we are in a G5 conference means that even in a rebuilding year we face soft enough competition that we have a chance to get to bowl eligibility. We have seven conference games left. If we can go 4-3 we'll get to eligibility and a real chance at a bowl invite. 5-2 and we are a lock.

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      Nothing new here. When I was in high school, the only school that advanced to the playoffs was the district champion. For whatever reason, the UIL allows 4 teams today. Majority of lower seeds almost always get blown out in the first round. Same with the NCAA basketball tournament that expanded from around 12 back in the 70's to 65 or 66. Most result in blowouts. I agreed with a modest expansion but not the current 65. They are now talking about over 70. Everything is 100% about money and the quality of the product left some time ago.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      Chris Jimmerson

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.
