Second one so far. That roughing the passer was Roger Goodell level officiating. Barely got a hand on the guy right after he released the ball.

I really hope this gets the coaching staff to stop punting. There's no difference if UNT starts at the 10 or our 40. 4th and 1 should be an automatic green light.

Which is why I've been an advocate of getting everyone who got on the plane into the game. In a first year, particularly after a 1-11 season, my approach would be like the NFL pre-season--try to win, but also try to give 60 people meaningful playing time. That's are to do at first, but once you get into the mode it's not so difficult.
The unfortunate part of the season is that we started with three games that on paper should have been blowouts--one our way, two the other--but none of them turned out that way. That made it hard to get the second and third units onto the field. And you don't really like to play conference games that way, but in our case it probably made sense to do so. One of my big complaints about Bailiff was that he kept talking about "preseason" games, but he never actually approached any games that way--he kept the first 11 out there even when down 40, and that had to stifle development of some youngsters.
At tis point, I think anything we do is more about winning in 2020 than winning in 2018. And at this point, I think that's the way it should be.

Our short yardage packages are so obvious. Why do we move away from whats working and try the pitch or direct-snap-up-the-middle, which clearly isn't?
From 2nd and 2 to 4th and 2.

I don't like that third down route being run short of the sticks.

Ball thrown too early. Should have thrown it after Walter had turned up field.

With our defense, we are in 4-down territory when we get off the bus. And that's despite our punter's being one of our best weapons.

They should put the Wildcat/Owl with no pass option in the same file as the pitch dive play.

It's starting to get out of control. Defense having trouble stopping them now.

Agree...that is what made it work with Thor. We were lucky with Bob that we had good line blocking.

RE: Rice Owls v UNT Green Mean-ace Game Thread
To be fair to the defensive backs, there are way too many plays where they're in coverage for 5+ seconds. This DLine just can't get pressure with 4. Have to start blitzing again at some point.

ESPN+ broadcast is showing the score as 0-0.
That's beeter than the actual 17-7 score.

Rice 7, UNT 17.
How about a TD drive right now? Who's in?

I'm seeing 17-7.
Although the production quality continues to be on par with our defensive prowess.

4th and 1 at our 45 -> punt -> UNT 3 play TD drive
4th and 2 at our 33 -> punt -> UNT 4 play TD drive
Defense is butter but the coaching is underwhelming me more today. Silly play calls, silly penalties.

They corrected it shortly after I posted.
