Great win by NT, great D today making stops and forcing turnovers. a well balanced offense that could run and throw. There's not much more you could ask for
If there is anything to talk about it is the tackling for extra yards. Lots of time first and even second contact doesn't end the play, and they get a bunch of extra yards. Also the offensive line is letting way too many unblocked rushers in. It may sound like nitpicking, but there is always room for improvement, even with a good showing.

Really good showing by the team. I know Temple is down right now, but this is a great win vs. a conference opponent. Let's hope this is the start of a season turn around because the real meat of the schedule is coming up.

Is the Temple band there?

In the ACC? Nah man.
If we do what Tulane did multiple times in that timeframe it's not out of realm of possibility. No one was talking about Tulane before they beat USC, now every realignment conversation has them as candidate.

Memphis' schedule has the potential to be one of the tougher, as in top 30, OOC schedules in the country. For us, we're playing Mississippi State (2023 NCAA team), Boise State (2023 NCAA team), and St John's. Yes, St John's had a down-ish year. They finished 11-2 in OOC last year but struggled in conference play. And by struggled, I mean they beat UCONN and were kicked out of the conference tourney with a 2 point overtime loss to Marquette. Should me beat St John's, we have the potential to play LSU or Dayton and then possibly Houston. We're in a much better tournament than last season and could potentially end up having played more bubble/tournament teams than we have the past few years.
Good teams no doubt, I'd still like to play one more "power" team or a solid team like VCU/New Mexico/etc. I want to boost our net as much as possible so we don't have a repeat like last year.

The tie in.
You don't see how they could have thought wearing black during an eclipse was an idea they came across? They are also fully wearing black unlike previous times when they had white pants.
Edit: Just checked the post on twitter and when someone mentioned they matched the eclipse the Mean Green Sports account responded with an eclipse emoji.

I feel like our OOC schedule this year is very challenging and maybe 1 less game to limit wear and tear plus travel isn't a bad thing.
What schools make you think that? When I look at Memphis' schedule that's a real OOC gauntlet. Our toughest opponent is Miss. State who finished 9th in the SEC last year.

We're missing UTA on there too.
Optimist in me says we're a tough team to schedule RPI - wise? or maybe Jared is playing hardball about getting us another good home game?
I'd figure places like UTSA and Rice would be harder to schedule but they have their full schedules out already.
Rice announced theirs back on August 23rd

UNI puts us at 10 nonconference games and 28 total. We should be able to schedule three more if we can find the teams and dates, per the NCAA (https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2020-10-27/how-many-games-are-college-basketball-season#:~:text=Teams that don't participate,games in their conference tournaments.) :
I think what people are saying is we likely aren't able to find 3 more? At least that's what it seems like from the responses Mosley gave posters here. He said they were working on 2 series and 1 ended up being UTA, so his words make it seem like it was 2 total more games for 11 non-conference.

The tie in or that I forgot about the eclipse?

I love this uniform! And it plays right into there being an eclipse in the middle of the game. Really cool!
Forgot about the eclipse, it's definitely a tie in to that.

Makes me more excited for who else we might be able to add.
1 more game and that's it according to what others have said. I'm a little surprised that no one else finds it weird that we are still looking for games 26 days before the season starts.

when i tweeted jared a few weeks back he said they were still finalizing 2. I guess Northern Iowa was one. Curious on the second
Which is at the beginning of the year right? I know we are playing the Charleston Classic so that would add a couple more from Nov. 16-18th but that still leaves holes for Nov. 22nd, 25th, and 30th. as well as any late December games. Look at our OOC compared to our conference mates.
Everyone has 12 to 13 games on their OOC. Even with the Northern Iowa and UTA games we are down 2-3 games vs everyone else.
-
Are we still missing dates for late November and December? We are a month away and we still don't have a finalized schedule? I'm telling you guys this seems unusual.

This is just a filler article for content. If and when Clemson, FSU and UNC leave they already found three teams to replace them…..sooooo it doesn’t make sense to add anymore. Just because they’re being vetted doesn’t mean anything, it’s what any conference would do.
I also doubt it happens before 2036 and the GOR expires, but we need to do anything we can before then to change the narrative about UNT. If there are only 3 or 4 spots we need to make sure UNT takes one of them.

Looking around the forum you can tell the wind has really been sucked out sails here. There is 0 excitement about the program.

This is why success is imperative. We need to make noise like Tulane did and get some favorable perception. We don't have time for coaches to figure things out, we need results now.

can we find better things to nitpick our coach about? I can probably look at any coaching change in history and find guys that didn’t 100% buy in year 1.
Observing this single shortcoming, then pointing fingers at the coach for and saying, “are we legit?”
I could copy-paste the above into every different complaint/thread. Which, IMO, isn’t a good look.
I think the part about Morris not implementing his culture strictly from the beginning is significant. He was saying he had to go back and enforce it now and that lost us time. IIRC he talked about discipline and players taking responsibility, and when we have looked poor in the games we've played it doesn't look like a smart choice on his part.

youre awesome....and i can speak my mind because you are my friend. sorry if i came off hard, just didnt understand the hatred after a good game by the team. ya, they lost, ya they gave up 400 yards, ya rogers messed up twice, ya the coaches messed up, but they had a chance to win and held a good offense to just 27. north texas should win any game they allow 27.
as somebody said earlier, maybe i should just stick to tailgating. i saw plenty of good, but i dont pay attention like many of yaĺl do.
be good, stay safe out in the world, and we will have beer when ya make it back home.
Good effort, but it's not something we can be content with if we want to improve. All of those things don't matter if you can't get the +1 in the W column. If this is the start of some improvement that leads to wins it will be a good sign of growth, but if we flounder in the same way the rest of the season we will have shown a stagnant team that is not fundamentally working.

Rogers did not handle the blitz well. Navy was telegraphing the blitz and Rogers never seemed to recognize it and hit a hot route.
Agree that he does take some of the blame, sometimes the best play is to just throw it away and not take the loss. The other part of it is what did the coaches do to either pick up the pressure or get the ball out of his hands quicker? It's hard to tell since I couldn't see the field, but I was frustrated with what looked like too many long passes that took time to develop, vs. short quick strikes to get the ball out faster.

Let's see, we paid PB $350K a year. Now we pay Caponi $450K a year to be last in the FBS defensively. Please make that make sense.
Wow... There's no words for this.

I think it's worth noting that everyone would be more confident and patient if this team didn't look lost out on the field. The basics of tackling, coverage, blocking, play calling, etc., don't look good.

I don't so much mind the young up and comer but in hindsight it's like the Dodge hire all over again. We got the young offensive minded coach and let him bring in coordinators on both sides of ball that had no college football experience at that position
I'm ready for a different approach. We need to do what P5s do and just money whip other successful G5 coaches. Bringing their whole staff also sets a good foundation so we can hopefully stop feeling like we are starting from scratch every time.

We're paying way too much damn money for on the job training. This is just magnified by the fact that his offensive or defensive coordinators either have any experience at the position. Looking back at it now it almost seems that he does not have enough confidence in himself to surround himself with more experience coaches.
With each week that goes by I really wonder how he sold himself to Jared. Either he did a really good job or Jared didn't know what he was looking for.
This. I feel like they were trying to find the FB equivalent of McCasland. I would have rather they go with an experienced head coach than a young up and comer, unless Garret Riley was an option. My preferred list was Fuente, Herman, or Riley.

***Official Temple vs UNT Game Discussion***

I thought I was the only one who thought this since no one else seems to be mentioning it. Playing the song that's supposed to intimidate and pressure their team on 3rd down when they get 1st down, playing well after the visiting team snaps, just a general laziness and unorganized atmosphere. It's like they've never been to a football game and don't know the common things you're supposed to do and when. Is it just me or are others feeling the same?
