End of season overall performance.
2022 offense was 17th
2022 defense was 113th
2023 offense was 9th
2023 defense was 120th
The 2 9 win seasons.
2018 offense was 24th
2018 defense was 46th
2017 offense was 28th
2017 defense was 97th
Our success/failure has never been about the offense. It’s always been about the defense. There needs to be a very short leash for our DC.
Or else we will waste another “Offensive Guru” head coach.-

I think a side effect of this era is going to be simplification. Since players and coaches don't see each other for more than 1 or 2 years, don't try and coach up something that takes 2+ years to fully grasp. Keep it simple and get them to execute it better than the opponent executes theirs. Coincidentally for us, this is where the Leach tree excels.
I agree with the offensive side of the ball.
The 3-3-5 is a complicated defensive scheme that does best when kids have a chance to “grow” into it as freshman/sophomores while watching junior/seniors run it.We will never have that luxury again at UNT.

Last season was the “first” year of the “new NCAA”.
This is the new norm now. We can never think:“Oh, this is a rebuilding year.”
”Give the coaches time to get their players.”
Every year from now on is a rebuilding year. Coaches don’t have time to develop players or wait until they get better players to run the scheme they prefer.
Coaches need to be more flexible and run a scheme that is best for the players on the team this season. No team should ever run a scheme with players that don’t fit it (Caponi).
Every year the roster will be different. Coaches will have to adjust accordingly and quickly.This is college football now. Like it or not…

When you got 15 DBs in the game it's almost a wonder of the world we can defend the pass decently and do nothing vs the run.
Yeah. I also believe that the secondary stats could be better if we could put pressure on a QB. When the QB has all day to find a receiver, hard for a secondary to maintain coverage.

National Rankings
Total Defense: 125
Rushing Defense: 130
Sacks: 118
Team TFL: 127
Team Pass Eff. Def.: 74
Passing Yards Allowed: 41
Passes Intercepted: 28
Really hoping that the “new recruits” or transfers will address the beef upfront. It would be nice to see the overall stats like the secondary.
Honestly, why does any team pass against us?
Offensive rankings are much better. Just didn’t want a long post.

Who the F was that blitzer who whiffed on the qb? Never even broke down but just passed him? Ridiculous
Wes is going to be a great LB for us for years to come. But he definitely missed that sack.

How in the hell did Earl earn the start over Rogers????
Earle has a more accurate deep ball. Rogers is better short and intermediate. Also has better pocket presence.

I liked us eating up the clock earlier. Also nice we can score quick.

Did we switch back to the 3-3-5 on a couple plays in that series? Gave up runs and zero pressure on QB. Results in a TD…

DEFENSE FORCED A 3 AND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw a four man front in that drive too.
After the penalty, they ran once and got 15 yards. Then 2 incomplete passes.
I think LaTech’s OC is not paying attention.Good for us!!!

Helwig banning tailgating
Yep, I never understood this.
I remember parking on campus far away from Fouts Field with friends and tailgating out of the trunk of a car. Closing the trunk every time a campus police car came by and trying to look like we weren’t doing anything illegal.Good times…

Yep, we change coaches to take us to the next level. That would be the next level up, not down.
This was your quote last week “
Morris has built/turned around a program with much, much less resources than what he has now. Some of these comments are comical at best considering this was one game.”
Flip flopping idiot.

Hello all,
Just wanted to share my gratitude for the hospitality. Denton is a great spot, loved seeing Dallas (first time), and really appreciate the dedication to your team. I hope other cal fans were gracious. I hope for both of our sakes both of these teams overperform for the rest of the season. Will be rooting for NT in the AAC.I went to the first Cal vs UNT game. My first time in the Bay Area. Cal fans were gracious to us also. Wishing this game was just as competitive as the last. Wishing Cal the best of luck and enjoy your next conference!

You asked how many conference championships he won at Tech and my answer was to point out that Tech doesn't have many to celebrate in their history. Dumb question on your point. Then again, you appear to row in the same boat with Ben Gooding in only showing up when things aren't going as expected.
How many was Morris responsible for? Genius.

Texas Tech has won 11 conference championships in football in their history. The last? 1994 was a co-champion under the leadership of Spike Dykes. Prior to that, 1976.
What was Morris coaching then?
Dumb answer…

Again, this is one year at WSU and doesn't include his time as OC at TX Tech with Mahomes at QB.
How many B12 Championships did he win at Tech?
Do we have the second coming of Mahomes on our roster?
Feature your teams strengths and recruit what you need/want and then switch.

Littrell took over the worst team in FBS and immediately made us better by seeing that Mason Fine in HS was still way better than any QB we had on the roster he inherited and who he could get as a transfer. That led to his demise, though, when he couldn’t find a replacement worth a damn. Watching UTSA zoom past us after their Benford hire sucked is just more salt in the wounds, obviously, by MGT above is right. Littrell left a team that should at least win 4 games with what he took over—and that’s being Uber conservative. Morris isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, even if we won 2 or less games, but make no mistake about it, SL left this place light years better than how he found it. He deserved to get fired, no doubt, but what he did in his first three years here is damn near miraculous to do. He has 2 of our 4 9-win seasons since Fry left after 1978…
This is exactly my point.
The team left behind does have talent. A loaded running back corps, good wide receivers, a solid offensive line.
The defensive players to run a 4 man scheme.
Morris saying we are going to pass 60% and run 40% is not utilizing our strength.
Forcing defenders to play a 3 man scheme that are better equipped for a 4 man scheme is wasting their talent.
Tell everyone we are going to hit the transfer portal hard this year and bring in players to run a 3 man scheme. When you get those players make the switch next year.
Lean on your running backs until you get the QB you need to “Take Flight”.
We shouldn’t have to step back a year. We should be better than last year. Killing momentum of a team that at least made it to a conference championship is wrong.-

Do we have any players that redshirted from last year that hopefully bulked up?
