This year’s defense was going to struggle no matter who Morris hired as DC.
Why was it destined to struggle? Please use facts to support thesis.

In the time it took me to write that post, Tulsa drove the field and now we have given up 28. That was a 99 yard drive for those not paying attention.

I mean on one hand it is very impressive to only give up 21 to a 3-7 team with a freshman walk-on making his first start. On the other hand, it isn’t at all impressive.

I mean, he was getting $375k at Iowa State, so they seem pretty convinced he’s good coach. You’ve got to make it worth it for him to come.
Never been a DC above D3, iirc. Why not a good FCS coordinator?

I mostly agree with the fumbles but at what point would you have liked him to get rid of it? He was sacked within 2 seconds of the ball being snapped.
That play, yes. In general he can hold onto the ball a second or two too long.

Excellent coverage

If Rogers has a major flaw it is not getting rid of the ball and a tendency to fumble.

Craponi’s high salary was so unnecessary. Easily could have gotten an experienced coordinator for the same or likely less. This is completely on Morris.

I don't know if you are truely gonna be happy about this.... but I predict that UNT will go bowling the Seth Littrell way this season (i.e. being 5-7 and getting in on a technicality)
108 in APR. Not happening. On the plus side, our retention and graduation rate is better than our defense.

Every time we go empty backfield…

An example would be moving Roderic Brown to Mazin’s down lineman spot instead of being the nose. And them move Mazin to his natural postion of linebacker or outside edge so he can rush.
Or playing Rausaw or someone else of similar size in Mazin’s spot. We seem to have lost all the former inside guys we had so I think it’s just Brown and Moore who are solid enough to play the nose tackle spot. LeBlanc, TaShon, and Enoch all gone.

Interesting prospect. Looks like he played as a running QB. Looks to have good size and speed. Was a Rice commit but decommitted in August. Looking at his Twitter feed, perhaps didn’t play the full season because of hamstring problems or some other injuries?

I would say a big difference is the number of big DTs you need with only three down lineman. You still need some size at DE (as we can see having a 240lb DE in this system doesn’t work at all) but you don’t need six DTs around 300 to have sufficient depth like in a four-man front. We should, however, have guys over 260 playing DE, imo. Mazin should be at OLB, as that would allow him to be a pass rusher and it would also be a more appropriate size LB to support this system. Our LB size might be as big of a shortcoming as our DE size. Maybe more?
The truth is that we probably had enough DL depth to run a hybrid system with more four DL but I think they made a conscious choice to reduce DL depth in favor of DB depth. Then when the three man front wasn’t working, we didn’t have enough depth with size to run four consistently.-

The FIU and Navy losses are the ones that define the season. Win those two games and we’re considered a decent team. But we lost them so we are a bad team.

If we had this start to conference play we'd probably be bowl eligible right now. The difference in difficulty between our conference schedule and SMU's (even UTSA's) is crazy.
Now, we should have still made a bowl game, but the AAC did us no favors.
We lost to FIU and Navy and squeaked by LaTech early on. Why exactly do you think we would have magically been better against these teams?

Reading comments about our amazing offense:
We score ONE point more than last year’s team.
One.
Update. This amazing Morris offense scores .4 LESS than last year’s team.

Looking on the bright side, at least this week I don’t have to hear about all the progress the team is making and how great Morris’ offense is!

JD your defense of Craponi based on Bennett’s results make no sense because it was not based on facts.
The year before Bennett took over we gave up a staggering 43 points per game. Phil came in 2021 and immediately got us to a very respectable 27.5 per game. And that was during a transition to a new season. You claimed that he really didn’t settle in until his second season (as a justification for keeping Craponi) but his defense was worse in the second year at 31.5. I don’t understand your logic.

Is the "Triangle of Toughness" moving to College Station?

Was last year’s offense elite? Because the stats/results are basically the same.
