All About UNT

I too am a Baine fan at this point. He is healthy...took reps in both Spring an Fall...offers a dual threat and is someone that our opponents have zero film on (outside of high school).

Who should it be and why?

Though both my parents are MSU undergrad and grad alum...I was secretly pulling for FAU when the parents came over to watch the game. I had to keep that excitement to a dull roar however in that I could have been taken out of the will for cheering against MSU. That being said... I honestly have FAU by 2-3 TDS over us...the reason will be turnovers. Not that our D can't hang since I have been thoroughly impressed by them since they started this year but I have a feeling the Offense (headed by either Riley or Chase) will turn the ball over at least 3 times this game. I wish I could say otherwise but have no reason to believe otherwise.

Here is a 2008 list of CUSA coaches... since we continually dream of being in this conference it is only right to examine where a hypothetically 500k a year coach would place us in said conference. My link

Dude.....give it a rest. Noone thinks your pointless rants have any productive value at all. Speaking of needing to gracefully bow out.

Noticed the same exact thing...10k...tops

I am officially in give up mode right here.

I doubt it as well....and I have to admit that taking a thorough look at our trainers is in order. This is ridiculous and players should not be getting injured at this rate period....esp when no contact with opponents is made. I just turned the Army game off...I can't watch anymore.

Funny how Zombie Landry sounds like Chuck Norris if he lowered himself from crushing all his enemies and hearing the lamentation of the women all day to playing football. Notice the custom "Chuck Plays For UNT Only Pajama Pants" ???

So, Zombie Landry has bad habits...unlike Tom? Just noticed the ciggy. But Coaching here could drive 'ya to light up! Yeah...just noticed that as well. Finding a zombie wearing a fedora was tough enough!

Zombie Landry...for 2011

Now that would depend....was there an ump in the middle of that play that blocked the defense from getting to Dunbar? watch at 16 seconds on... but the best angle is at :36 Highlights from Clemson

and one more thing...about stopping the run. Clemson's Ellington posted 122 yds in 12 carries. We know that 1 of those carries was the 60 yard run and I went back and watched the entire game last night and esp that play. 4-5 Defensive players converging on him and the Ump is in the way....no question in my mind that he would have been tackled and sandwiched had the UMP not been there to cause confusion and chaos. Take that 60 yd play away and you have a guy who posts 62 yds on us in 11 carries...so just over 5.6 yds a carry. I believe the D can stop the rush....with the exception of miraculous plays like this. I am more confident in our ability to stuff the run than our ability to stop the passing game. I feel good going into this.

Good to have you onboard for the week. Always appreciate insight from a 3rd party perspective.

This is true...I felt that reposting it under a different a more relevant thread was in order.

This is a repost...if admin deletes again...please just PM me as to why. Reasons as to why I am optimistic 1.) Army barely got a Win over on E. Michigan (31-27)....who I wouldn't mind us playing any day of the week. If Army is so scary...I believe they should have blown them out of the water. EMU got beaten the next week (28-21) by Miami (OH) who absolutely stinks as well. 2.) Rice only put 106 yds rushing on us....truly not that bad. Clemson on the other hand had over 200 yds...but combine that first drive with the fact that they have stellar RBs in place...and that is to be expected. If Army is a rushing offense...I say let them come. Our defense has improved even since Clemson...and I am sure that trend will continue. 3.) Lance and Thompson will perform. With EMU putting 285 Rushing yards against Army with two middle of the road running backs. With both Dunbar and Hamilton healthy...I believe it is not out of line to put an average 7 yds a carry against Army when EMU put up 6 ypc. Thompson will come out looking to make plays and earn his keep. I fully expect him to put 200+ yds passing on Army...combined with another 30-40 rushing. 4.) Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton.....the guy has only had 7 carries and posts 58 yds rushing (8.3 ypc). Army expects Dunbar but they will not be expecting a dual Running Back scenario...I hope that Coach C has considered this option. Either way...give the ball to Hamilton and let him show his stuff as well. I would anticipate nothing less than 300 yds Rushing this game. If you don't think that the dual RB scenario is effective then look at EMU's stats for Rushing against Army. 4.) Atterberry- He has got to know that last weeks short punt can cost us games. He is booting almost 43 yds each punt but I expect that average to go over 50 this game. He knows that what he does effects the outcomes of games and we saw him kicking 50-65 yd punts all offseason. 5.) Absence of playing Riley of 3rd and 2 scenarios....Coach C had better have learned his lesson because it is one we can all agree on. 6.) Last but not least....Revenge. Not a great way to win a game but it sure gets people hyped up. Anyone at Army will tell you that UNT had outplayed them last year. 5 turnovers including 3 INTs by Riley cost us the game...plain and simple. The 1st INT resulted in a FG (D held em to a 35 yd drive)...the last INT was our last drive and last shot at redemption. Reasons we lose 1.) Turnovers- Hawaii fumbled a kickoff return at their own 24 yd line right after Army had a nice long scoring drive. This of course resulted in a TD almost immediately...the score is 21-21. Right after that??? The very next Hawaii possession on the second play.. Army sacks Hawaii's QB at the Hawaii 11 Yard Line. Of course Army scores again..now 28-21. Needless to say Hawaii gets their act together and closes it out. The point? Some commentators have said that Hawaii's defense got tired out but I am sorry when the ball is fumbled at the 24 and then the 11 yard line...what can you expect your defense to do? Those two errors cost 14 points and half of Army's score. This game should have ended 31-14 Hawaii but it didn't. Army seems to either be very skilled in forcing turnovers or gets very lucky about where they occur. EMU had a fumble at their own 7 yd line that resulted in an Army TD. You take 3 mistakes and 42 yds given to Army...and the team is 0-2...just like us.

Yeah what the hell?? Is the wind out of everyone's sails (resorting to that Navy talk)?? Clemson was great...Rice was good....I am not the best at these and those of you that are should step up! Even Army fan is sitting here inviting us to do so. Get at em!

The Spread is now 4 to 5 points in Army's favor (depends on the site you look at)....I wonder if the Thompson announcement/solidification pushed it more in our favor? Also....UT is only favored by 4 at this point against Tech and I smell upset in the works!
