I really hope Rodgers goes off like 20 touchdowns or something like that.

 

Also just heard that Ragsdale is out for the rest of the season....bummer:(

LETS GO COACH!!!!

Now let's do something about that 3-3-5...

[Glory to the Green]

Hope he picks up where he left off and has a great game!  GMG!

Hope he ends up ok long-term for his own sake.

Maybe those $4 dollar Dos Equis at Chop Shop might taste a little bit better this Saturday....

This seems to be a good decision by Morris. Based on what Rogers did against FIU, he deserves it.

I feel like Chandler has earned this.

The only positive thing we can do with the 3-3-5 is stop running it.

Quarterback roulette again. 

Morris finding out what life is like without Pat Mahomes or Cam Ward, I guess.

Too bad he just got to campus and didn't have months to install his offense and see which quarterback gave him the best chance to win games.

Vito also mentioned this in an article he wrote for DRC.

"Febechi Nwaiwu could shift back to guard, where he excelled last season, Morris said. UNT moved him to right tackle this season when Jett Duncan moved inside to guard.

The Mean Green are considering flipping them back to their original spots in the hope of sparking their running game."

I think this is good. They just have to fix this defense now.

Defense isn't getting fixed without the bodies, IMO.

Overdue announcement.  Maybe he told the team right after the game, I don’t know.  But him not naming in the post FIU game or sometime Sunday/Monday just didn’t make a lot of sense to me.  Rogers should have started against FIU.

If I were Morris, I would hold back on publicly naming a starter as long as possible, just to keep LA Tech from zeroing in on stopping Rogers. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We need any advantage we can get at this point.

Good. Rogers deserves his shot at QB1. I like Stone Earle, but our experience so far in Games 1 & 2 indicates that Rogers gives us our best chance to win. With our worst in FBS defense, we can't afford turnovers and have to make the most of every offensive possession, and that's Rogers.

[UNT 90 Grad]

Earle still having issues with cramps?  Yikes.  Somebody get that boy a Pedialyte.

Thank god..not sure the defense will do anything to stop La Tech but atleast the passing game will be better

And hopefully the defense isn't on the field as much.

We cyberbullied Morris into starting Rogers, let's cyberbully him into losing the 3-3-5!

[TheColonyEagle]

I think this is the right decision. After his game last week, he deserves a shot.

And I would say due to this decision, the amount of effort I'm going to put forth to actually watch the game will increase as well....

Earle did not value the ball as much as he needed.  5 picks in 5 quarters should rightfully earn you an opportunity to watch for a while.  Add in 5 fumbles (luckily only 1 lost) from the rest of the offense and the football has been loose a lot.

Really need Rogers to step up and stabilize the QB spot and hopefully it trickles down to the rest of the team.

[El Paso Eagle]

I am hoping along with this change, Morris, at least for the short-term, will slow down the pace on Offense and work on ball control to help minimize the amount of time the Defense is on the field.

Having a QB that protects the ball and can move the sticks without having to hit home run balls will help keep the defense off the field. This SHOULD make the defense look a little better. Hopefully, anyway.

I said this after Game 1. Why are we hurrying to the line after just losing three yards on first down?

This is the problem most try to say is poor coaching...

instead, it's about not having enough of the right personnel.
