The play calling on offense was horrible after the first 3 scores. This one is on the coaches.

He was running for his life last year and had receivers who weren’t making as many plays. And a defense that wasn’t as good. I thought his play last year, all things considered (including him being a freshman), was great. I knew this year would be even better if he got the help around him, which he has. Everyone has played at a higher level. Maybe most people don’t know this, but the NFL scouts were making Russell Wilson comparisons before last season started. Saying he had a long way to go, obviously, but that he was better than Russell was at this same point in his career.

That hit was clearly targeting. Launched into a defenseless players head and neck area, leading with his helmet, hitting with the crown of his helmet. All the indicators.

That was a great game!

Ok. I probably just read it wrong. Carry on.

The article seemed unnecessarily negative against Mason Fine. The opposing coach thought he was a big reason for the UNT win. Other articles indicated he played well. His stats, well, a lot of other QB's/teams would love to have. I just don't see the reason to be so negative about the QB.

FIFY UNT D looking tired at this point. Not sure about pure speed, I think they are just getting worn down.

Another terrible call That's on the receiver. You stretch your route to make sure you are beyond the sticks.

That wasn't targeting.

So, they just said it was a smart play by the LaTech QB because he threw it away but didn't throw it beyond the LOS because they had ineligible men down field. But there wasn't a receiver in the area, so even though he was outside the pocket, that should have been intentional grounding. Missed call, completely .

Exactly! Thanks.

No, not anyone. Judging by the responses on this thread and other comments elsewhere, I'd say the majority fall more in line with my view. Fine played pretty dang good. Could be better, sure, but better than "pedestrian" or "respectable". Especially considering the issues on the O-line and the dropsies by the WR (both of which seem to be improving!!!)

If he went 29/30 for 400 yards and 6 TD's, he would say he needed to improve. He will never be satisfied. In fact, he said that himself in the DRC article. I still contend it was better than respectable. He played a good game. Not great. Not John Elway. But not, simply, respectable. It was better than that. I didn't figure you'd actually have a response for how many times he's taken unnecessary sacks.

You don't need to pass for 300 yards when Wilson is running for 188. Exactly how many times has he taken a sack, when outside the tackle box when he could have throw it away but instead just took a sack. Tell us, please. Exactly how many. I didn't hear Harrell saying any of that to him last night when I was standing down there. Weird.

Almost every game there are 2-3 balls that "should have been intercepted". He has had one INT in 166 attempts. Half way through the season he has 1 INT and they've been slinging it all over the field. If he could somehow continue this pace, and end up with 2 INT for the season, I suppose you'd still gripe. He "played a respectable game"? Respectable? He completed 64% of his passes, with 1 TD passing and 1 TD running, zero INT's. He was still pressured a LOT. He led this team to a 17 point victory when they were double digits dogs according to Vegas. You can't just "throw the ball away" when the pocket collapses on you. That's intentional grounding.
