New ST coach and players needs to be a focus for next year.

???

How about we ask them to make tackles and avoid penalties?

This 2-year experiment needs to end.

Head coach has to go too.

We knew it was coming.

Not over yet.

56 yd run, but Owls have to settle for a FG. 17-31

And more missed tackles to end the 3Q. Sigh

Unfortunately probably is over now.

What a clown show. Go Davidson.

And Rice is 1-8.....

Can we set up a Kalshi/polymarket on getting a new coach? 2%?

Best 1-8 team in the last decade…
… maybe the whole millennium.

Looks like I might lose my over bet on 3.5 wins.

That would have to be the least liquid betting market in college football

I like our chances against Tulane. Looking forward to it. We have our new QB. I'm glad Abell is sticking with him. Throwing to the TE adds a nice threat.

Sloppy game.

Just getting back from the game. Kudos to UNT for having a pretty solid crowd tonight - there were times they really got into it.

A couple thoughts:
1) Special teams are a major struggle. We need to prioritize tightening the screws there next season. It will undoubtedly cost us another game if not

2) The defense was horrid. I don’t know the exact number, but it felt like we allowed conversions on three 3rd downs of 15+ yards. I hope Abell gets us a new DC next season. Hard to win games not forcing a single turnover when you have less talent

3) Ochoa looked extremely comfortable throughout the game (minus the one pick). It was neat that Brown got to play several other positions. Kudos to the staff for finding creative ways to get him the ball, while keeping Gael at QB. I don’t know what it is, but the offense just seems more smooth under him

4) We clearly need better players. DBs rarely make plays. Our LBs are slow. Our RB got EASILY chased down on the breakaway run. Abell needs to make some calls to some major donors to get us some NIL money

5) The passing game was effective - I hope we can build on that. Again - Ochoa just looks more comfortable back there

Tulane and Temple may be our most “winnable” games yet outside of HCU. Hoping we end the season on a positive note to attract some players heading into next year

Ochoa looked fine, we should stick with him at QB at this point, as Jacurri was still able to contribute. Yet only 17 points against a weak defense. Need a lot more playmakers to win games.
