Got it. If I see something posted on social media. I'll put it here. He seems like a good kid who was raised well.

Compound leg fracture

Some injury updates and some running back updates.

They still show on the roster on the UNT website so I'd imagine they are.

Was just about to post this. Looking forward to Saturday.

Tech starting left guard out for the year. Hopefully he recovers well. As for this weekend's game, that's an opportunity to exploit a potential weak spot of the line. Need to bring pressure and cause some confusion for the new starter. Don Williams later reported the Tech starting RB is trending towards playing this Saturday.

Sadly there's no category for almost wins and struggled to win, just wins and losses.

Do we really want judgement calls on the road against a big program, though? Replays help restore integrity, in my opinion. Granted it's not perfect but I'd rather the calls be right than just what some guy thought he saw. If I'm not mistaken, there were two UNT fumbles last night recovered by SFA where the player was down by contact. Were it for judgment calls, SFA would have gotten those balls and we probably lose that game. Is that really what y'all want instead of getting the game called correctly? As for the loud noises all the time, you can't want the young fans and students to come to the game while also removing the elements that make the atmosphere more enticing for that demographic. It's what all the big programs are doing with the constant music and flashing lights. So I ask, do you want a pleasant environment for a nice conversation or a rambunctious fanbase and full stands? Can't have it both ways.

Strangely now that I look through the roster again, none of their transfers are from TCU or Texas and most of their P4 transfers are on the offensive side of the ball, specifically OL and WR. The defensive side P4 transfers are two outside linebackers, one from Colorado and the other from Baylor. Then there's a corner back from Houston. No P4 transfers on the defensive line unless the outside linebackers line up on the edge.

I skimmed through their roster and noticed the same. It seems as though the new transfer system hurts continuity within programs but it doesn't limit the talent you can find at the G5 and FCS levels. It's just up to our coaches to capitalize.

Yes. I thought this yesterday during the game.

Some perspective on the defense for those calling it bad... without the turnovers to put SFA in scoring position, our guys held them to 7 points, forced 5 turnovers on downs, and 5 drives went 3-and-out. I wish the tackling had been better at times but considering run defense was our weakness last year, I think I'll take holding them to 2.2 yards per rushing attempt. Some more perspective... some FCS teams can be pretty good or at least play some good first halves. If you tuned in to #18 LSU vs Nicholls State in the 3rd quarter, you'd have seen a close 23-21 game. If you turned to #22 Arizona vs Northern Arizona at the start of the 4th, you'd have seen a 13-10 game. Last year's G5 darlings that are James Madison struggled to beat Gardner-Webb in a 13-6 game. We got the win. It wasn't easy. We're also missing some pieces on the offensive line so that needs to be cleaned up. At the end of the day we're 2-0 which is rare around here. Let's enjoy it a bit.

Maybe that late hit after he was already out should have penalized. Doesn't heal him but punish the play. Damn.

There's no adjustments to make other than cleaning up the penalties. We're beating ourselves and giving them 1st downs. Stop the penalties and it'll be over before the 4th starts.

I guess I'll add this here... Northern Illinois with a former Northern Illinois player at head coach beat #5 Notre Dame on the road. Before being the NIU head coach, he was the RB coach for... the Baltimore Ravens. Paging Coach Orr. Come fulfill your destiny in a few years.
